I’ve lurked on legal advice long enough to know this won’t go well for him

I read the article, mostly because of course I want to go to this restaurant, and it’s hard not to imagine this is either some kind of scam or mental health issue (ironically, the plaintiff is a neurologist):
>Harjasleen Walia in July 2023 filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara County Superior Court alleging she “incurred permanent injuries and will forever be damaged” by the $11 chicken-meatball dish at Coup de Thai in downtown Los Gatos. The appetizer burned Walia’s vocal cords, esophagus and the inside of her right nostril, the lawsuit claimed.
Thai chilis burned the inside of her right nostril?
>The lawsuit pointed a finger at Thai “bird’s eye” chili as the ingredient that made Walia’s Dragon Balls allegedly “unfit for human consumption.”

Challenge accepted.
