Man sues Morton's Steakhouse over smoke inhalation

A man is suing Morton's Steakhouse after he was allegedly forced to ingest smoke during his meal due to an apparent fire in the restaurant.

James F. Novak says that on April 17, 2009, a fire developed in the restaurant and smoke permeated throughout.  The complaint states that the restaurant incorrectly told him that there was no fire, that the subway was causing the smoke and there was nothing to worry about.

The complaint further states that the resturant "insisted that Novak pay his bill before he left."
