What's it Worth to Ya?
So Wendy's still hasn't been able to figure out where the infamous finger-in-the-chili came from, and now they're offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to its identification. DNA tests notwithstanding, I think someone should just lop off part of their own finger, show the stump, and claim the cash. Seriously, do you really need that last digit? Jerry Garcia rocked minus one, and Tommy Caldwell cranks as hard as ever since sawing the end off his finger...
The press is certainly painting an odd portrait of the woman who found it, and her house has been searched; maybe she planted it? I spend lots of time amongst the research that shows how convoluted the food chain has become, and speaking of the late Jerry, The Future of Food (a film created by his most recent wife, on earlier this week at the Red Vic) also warns how hard it is to trace food sources. Still, it amazes me that nobody can figure out where the finger came from. You'd think someone would be missing it ???
