Local authorities arrested three men who made an instructional video about how to "scam" fast food restaurants into giving free food. The three men, 32-year-old Robert Echeverria and 18-year-olds Ian Anthony Roman and Brian Fawcett reportedly made a home video, entitled "How To Scam Del Taco," where they show the process of making a Rialto Del Taco restaurant hand over free food - in this case, seven tacos, a large order of fries, two quesadillas with extra chicken, and two sodas.

A 6-foot-3, 265-pound man complained that an all-you-can-eat buffet overcharged him and an in-law, accusing the restaurant of discriminating them because of their size. Ricky Labit made the accusation against the Manchuria Restaurant located in Houma, at which he had been a regular for eight months. According to him, as he and his wife's cousin were about to eat their meal, a waitress then delivered a bill for $46. 40, which was double the usual charge for the adult buffet price.
