It's March 27th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, AI-powered stories from the world of fame. I'm Cory with the story. A German tourist named Feichal Mons sued a popular taco spot in Times Square after one bite of their green salsa left him feeling seriously unwell. He claimed it caused a burning tongue, red face, racing heart, stomach pain, and mouth sores that lasted days. Mons, from a small village in Germany, demanded $100,000 in federal court. The taco place, Los Tacos No. 1, faced a suit from his trip last year. Mons has now filed three lawsuits tied to his New York visit. He told reporters he called his wife right away, convinced something was wrong with the sauce. The judge, Dale Ho, tossed the case in a detailed ruling. He said restaurants have no duty to warn about spice levels in salsa, since heat is normal and often what people expect. Ho pointed to passuits over hot food, but ruled this one fell short. Mons didn't stop there.

A court dismissed his claim against the New Jersey Walmart for Wi-Fi that wouldn't take foreign phone numbers, calling it discrimination. He's also suing the New York Police Department for $10 million, saying their 9-1-1 system rejected his foreign number during a call. About an attack on a homeless man. His goal seems to push for better warnings and fixes. Even by what he calls a German mindset for clear labels on spicy items. Court so far aren't buying in, but Mons keeps fighting for change.
