Cy-Fair restaurant blamed for cracked tooth

A Cy-Fair restaurant is being sued over claims it injured a customer by serving a twist-tie-contaminated turkey burger.

Linda St. Angelo filed a lawsuit on Thursday, June 21 in the Harris County District Court against Willie's Grill and Icehouse in Cy-Fair, citing negligence.

St. Angelo says on June 24, 2010, she cracked her lower left molar when biting into a turkey burger purchased at Willie's Grill, located at 17492 Northwest Freeway in Cy-Fair. The suit alleges a restaurant employee carelessly placed a large twist-tie in the burger, which caused the break.

St. Angelo is seeking damages and court costs. She is being represented in the case by Houston attorneys J. L. Culpepper and L.A. Dunham.
