Re: Person found bug and larve in restaurant food
Without demonstrable illness or expense, you are hard pressed to make a claim that the restaurant or its insurer will take seriously. You can write to the restaurant--especially if it's a chain, in which case address you letter to the main office--and they will probably send you some free coupons as a gesture of good will.
