Texas Roadhouse released a statement after the incident went viral.
The steakhouse says they use fresh produce, so on rare occasions, insects may slip through due to the lack of chemical treatments.
“Texas Roadhouse uses fresh produce. Once shipped to us, we weigh, cut, wash, and prepare the produce for use. Occasionally, an insect may make it through the process – this is due to the fresh produce not being chemically treated for shelf life. This is not a common occurrence we experience in our restaurants,” Texas Roadhouse told WGNA.
The customer wasn’t charged for his meal.
