A MASSACHUSETTS man is suing fast-food chain Burger King after he allegedly bit into a metal needle in the middle of his Double Whopper. Oscar Chaves' ordeal allegedly began when the New Bedford man dropped into the Burger King around the corner from his house for dinner with his son-in-law "I start to eat. I get about two bites and the third bite I feel something go through my throat," Mr Chaves said.
As I spend most of my week visiting bars and restaurants here on the Costa del Sol I see some long faces and some happy ones, some empty places and some very busy ones. It seems that, in these difficult times, the businesses that are offering good quality food at a reasonable price still have a brisk trade. Among the happy faces is a man who is happy by name and by nature, Happy Moody is the owner of the Caribbean Mermaid situated at the waters edge on Fuengirola harbour.

BORN out of necessity, the retail outlet of the Beer Depot has arrived in Santa Ponsa. Started in 2009, the Beer Depot took up premises on Son Bugadelles and in a very short time made a name for themselves offering Bars and Restaurants branded alcohol and bar snacks. The owner, Bobby McCluskie, had a bar for several years and decided to change direction since there didn´t seem to be a wholesaler importing directly from the UK.
I have just returned from another visit to the Costa Blanca and I was surprised to see the large number of restaurants and bars that have closed for the whole of January. The situation on the Costa del Sol is similar. Yesterday Barrie and I visited a large number of eateries to conduct a review. Many were shut, and a few didn’t even have notices on display announcing re-opening dates.
The last time I ventured up to the Costa Blanca was back in November. Then everything was in full swing. The restaurants were packed, the bars were lively and the streets full of people enjoying themselves. This time the place was much, much quieter. We asked the receptionist at the hotel we were staying at what the food was like in the hotel restaurant. ´I wouldn’t eat in there’ was her honest reply. I hope she keeps her job! We all piled into the Range Rover and ventured out, spending ages trying to find the excellent Spanish steak house we had attended last trip.
