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.

My best friend has a serious allergic reaction to onions. It's no joke. He ended up in the ER for 3 days after eating something with only a hint of onions.

To his credit though, he checks his burgers to see if they contain something that could kill him before eating them.
