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.
Oh if it was a nut allergy, that was taken very seriously. But about 5% of our customers claimed to be allergic to onions. It just wasn’t possible to do a special prep for all of them. Of course we would keep onions off it and change gloves, but it’s not like we would prepare it in a separate place or go to the same extremes that we would for a nut or egg allergy.
