OZARK, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri-based restaurant chain known as the “Home of the Throwed Rolls” is being sued after a man claimed that one of the tossed rolls caused damage to his eye. Troy Tucker of St. Louis is seeking $35,000 in damages from Lambert’s Cafe.
At Lambert’s, employees toss rolls across the room to customers. Tucker claims he was dining at Lambert’s Sikeston restaurant on Sept. 20 when he was hit by a roll.
The 68-year-old Tucker claims he suffered a “serious and permanent personal injury,” specifically, a lacerated cornea.
Lambert’s general manager declined comment.
In addition to the Sikeston location, Lambert’s operates in Ozark, Missouri, and Foley, Alabama.
