Eatery ran out of fondue, offered hummus instead. Fondue King vows "never to forget this shameful night."
North Orange County's own self-proclaimed Fondue King Jason McPheron suffered a grevious insult Friday night when a favorite local restaurant reneged on its promise to suppy McPheron and his guests with a pot full of delicious bubbling cheese and brandy.
Witnesses report that the Fondue King maintained his composure despite the restaurant's inability to produce the meal as ordered. "He totally kept his cool," one patron noted. "But you could tell he was pissed. This man is like the Godfather of Fondue. I wouldn't be surprised if the restaurant's manager woke up with a horse head in his bed or something."
It is unknown whether the restaurant's manager owns any horses.
Local police report that they have been asked to provide additional security for the manager and the server who waited on the Fondue King. McPheron has never been indicted in any incidents resulting from fondue mishaps, but due to his reputation, authorities are taking no chances.
"It is our duty to serve and protect the citizens of this county," an Orange County sherriff's deputy told reporters. "I personally have no respect for a man who entices you with the thoughts of a delicous bowl of fondue, then fails to deliver...but I can't let that interfere with my aforementioned duties."
