Edamame mishap

On our way home from church, decided to grab some lunch at the new Yan Can restaurant in Rivermark. We’ve been on an Asian food crave the past two weeks so we decided to give Martin Yan our business.

We ordered edamame for the girls along with wonton soup and we had sweet and sour chicken with beef chowfun. Food was very good and very cheap. Total for all four of us was $27.

As we finished our meals, my wife decides to join the girls in peeling the remaining edamame and snacking on them. A moment or two later, I saw my wife gag as she opened one up and to her surprise found a dead worm caught half-way out of the soybean. She quickly handed it to me gagging and looking more and more nauseated. I kinda just stared at it and chuckled. At this point we had the attention of atleast one nearby couple, waiting for their food. As I headed to talk with the manager, I noticed all eyes on me. I calmly mentioned to her, “we found this in the edamame,” the manager almost spewed herself. At this point the original couple who watched me carry the worm-infested soybean, decided to leave Yan Can — while the rest kept right on eating.

The manager was kind enough to refund me the $2.95 cost of the edamame. One of the waiters, in their shock, pointed me to a picture of Martin Yan and said, “if you’re looking for someone to sue, sue this guy.”

We quitely left and laughed about it in the car. I told my wife that she should be thankful that she found a full worm instead of half.
