From The New York Post:

“A hotheaded chef at China City restaurant in Brooklyn has been charged with dousing two women with scalding cooking oil after they complained about bad take-out food.

The melee started when Sylvia Grice, 44, and Dorranne Leggett, 42, stormed into the Myrtle Avenue eatery Thursday night to confront the chef, Luien Jhing, 28.

The disgruntled diners angrily threw their uneaten dinners at Jhing.

Cops said the chef hurled a pot of hot oil, burning Grice’s back and Leggett’s shoulder.

Jhing was charged with assault, menacing, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon - the oil.”

I really wish this article was more detailed. I imagine two middle aged, whiney women ordering from a dirty, no-frills Chinese place: You know, the ones where they display fancy photos of the dishes in light boxes and the old photos have turned all green and blue. Maybe they are expecting something better than a Chinese take-out kitchen can produce. Or maybe the place has no sanitation knowledge and served them rotten food. I imagine some racial slurs and maybe some INS threats. Then some Chinese oil torture. People, do not fuck with the Chinese. They will mess you up. Even if your food is shitty, just let the $5.95 go.

“Hey, Chef! Can you cook my steak well done with no oil and no salt? And I know it’s not on the menu, but could you make me some mashed potatoes?”
