A trial opened Wednesday in the case of a New York man who died 10 months after dining at Benihana, the popular Japanese steakhouse chain. Jerry Colaitis injured his neck while dodging a piece of hot shrimp playfully tossed at him by a table-side hibachi chef, his attorney told the jury. The injury led to an operation and Colaitis ultimately died of a blood-borne infection. "Benihana set in motion a chain of events," the attorney said. The physicians who treated Colaitis were not joined by either side.
