Woman, understandably, less than thrilled to find frog in her BJ’s salad

A woman is hopping mad after claiming she found a frog in her salad at BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse in West Covina.

In her Yelp review, Shawna Cepeda said she was dining out with family at the restaurant on June 13. She noticed her food tasted a tad bitter and began stirring it around and that’s when…well…

“I see something kind of rolled up. I was like, ‘this doesn’t look right,’ so I passed it to my husband,” Cepeda told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. “I asked, ‘Is that a piece of lettuce?’ Then he looked and my daughter looked at it and he was like, ‘it’s a frickin’ frog.’”

Cepeda said she told the manager about it and he comped her meal, but made the family pay for drinks. A few days later she got a $50 gift card in the mail.

The newspaper reports that the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health did and inspection of the restaurant and found no health violations, but an employee did confirm that, yes, there was a damn frog in the salad!

“At that time staff did not observe any contamination of the lettuce products,” department spokeswoman Katie Martel told the newspaper in an email. “However, an employee of the restaurant confirmed that a frog was in the customer’s salad.”

BJ’s believes it was a supplier issue and has launched an internal investigation “to ensure that nothing like this happens in the future.”
