Two in food fight charged with assault with a deadly burrito.

Sounds like this argument wasn't worth a hill of beans. From the Chicago Sun-Times:

Two men were arrested for allegedly throwing burritos after becoming agitated that they didn’t receive money while playing a coin-operated game early Saturday at a Lincoln Park neighborhood restaurant.

Nicholas Condon, 24, of Connecticut, and Brian Young, 24, of Las Vegas, Nev., were charged with misdemeanor battery in the incident, which occurred early Saturday at Taco & Burrito Express, 2540 N. Halsted, according to a police report.

Young and Condon were arrested at 2:40 a.m. at the establishment, according to the report.

The arrestees allegedly argued with the employees of Taco & Burrito Express when an employee explained to them that there was no “pay out” for winning a game on the coin-operated machine they were playing, according to the report.

The argument escalated and the two allegedly began throwing burritos at the employee and other customers, according to the report.
