"Food God" Jonathan Cheban Is Suing A BBQ Sauce Company For 20 Million Dollars Because He Needs A Quick Buck

TMZ - Foodgod, AKA Jonathan Cheban, is taking a Korean BBQ sauce company to court ... claiming one of the glass bottles burst into shards, slicing his hand clean open.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Jonathan says he bought a glass bottle of San-J’s Korean barbeque sauce from a grocery store in Florida in October 2020 -- putting it in his fridge at home -- and taking it out a few hours later while making dinner.

However, Jonathan claims the bottle "inexplicably exploded" in his hand when he took it out of the fridge, with one of the big shards causing quite the gash on his hand ... allegedly causing "significant blood loss."

I cannot, and have never been able to stand this guy. He's always felt like a leech to me. I know he's tried to make a name for himself in the food world and as far as I know, he's been relatively successful up to this point, but here's what I know now: this guy is desperate. 

The TMZ article goes on to explain the injury (they have the photos) and why this is such a "big deal":

Jonathan claims he's suffered losses like the "ability to use his hand in his social media posts, in his advertisements, and in his ability to sponsor various food items."

He's now suing the manufacturer of both the sauce and the bottle, as well as the distributor and the store he bought it from ... and is asking for a whopping $20 million for the big slice.

I'm begging you to go over and look at the picture because based on this information and the amount of money he's expecting out of this lawsuit you'd think this guy lost his entire fucking hand. When I tell you it's a cut that needed stitches and will likely heal to blend in perfectly with the rest of the lines on his palm, you rethink this man's motives. He's going broke, and jumping on what he thinks is a smart opportunity. I see through it. The only person who can live like Kim K is Kim K, bro. 

I also don't know how this lawsuit is going to work. Clearly the bottle exploded because of Science. Air pressure, temperature, glass, bottle stuff. That's just Science. You can't sue Science. It sucks this happened, it could've been a million times worse, but I really don't think anyone is at fault in any direct way. Total money grab by Food God here and frankly, it's disgusting. Your head is too big, man. Your vanity is a cancer and you've got Stage 4.
