Manz maintained that he bought three tacos there and then availed himself of the offerings at the restaurant’s self-service salsa bar.

“There were absolutely no warnings at all,” he wrote in his complaint, which mentioned that he has history of gastrointestinal problems and generally avoids spicy foods.
Is this a publicity stunt or something? A grift? Surely it’s not actually some dumbass who genuinely thought they could get $100k after voluntarily triggering a stomach ache.
Court records show that Manz filed several other lawsuits related to his August 2024 trip to the US.
One seeking $10m accused a New Jersey Walmart of discrimination because its wifi login required a US phone number. He also demanded another $10m from New York City police over their response to a reported street assault.
