A Melrose man who said he was sickened after eating E. coli tainted food served by the Chicken & Rice Guys filed a lawsuit against the restaurant Tuesday in Suffolk Superior Court. Trevor Bryant, 30, said he became ill after he ate a grilled chicken and rice plate with lettuce and pita on March 30th. State health officials have said that no one sickened by the recent outbreak developed the syndrome. There have been 15 confirmed cases of E. coli, and 10 people have needed hospitalization, city officials said Tuesday. AdvertisementThe lawsuit did not specify which location Bryant ordered from, but the lawsuit said several days later, he became very ill, sought medical treatment and tested positive for E. coli.
