Famed steakhouse Peter Luger has been slammed with a stomach-churning lawsuit.
A devout Muslim waiter at the Great Neck, L.I., restaurant claims he was tricked into eating a pork hot dog by co-workers who told him it was chicken.
Altaf Chowdhury's suit filed in Brooklyn Federal Court contains a litany of grievances, including denial of family leave and being cheated out of wages. But the Bangladeshi-born plaintiff also alleges that co-workers in the meat emporium chewed him up with taunts of "terrorist," "Taliban" and "Al Qaeda."
