HOUSTON — A Houston man is suing Whataburger for nearly $1 million after he says his burger had onions on it.

Turns out he had asked for a no-onions order.

On July 24, 2024, Demery Ardell Wilson had an allergic reaction after eating a burger that had onions on it at Whataburger, court documents say. He alleges that he requested the fast-food chain to take them off before serving him the burger.

In order to actually do this, most places I've worked would have to hire an extra person. Spoiler : they definitely won't do that.

Everywhere Ive worked allergy related requests are not that common. Either way though, its literally the letter of the law that every food service place do it. Cross contamination prevention, especially for an allergy, is just basic food service 101. Its a bit frightening that you say youve never seen it anywhere
