A family dinner that started out with salt and pepper ended up with charges of assault and harassment — all because George Rhome was steamed that the chicken was baked and not fried.
The Rhome family food fight occurred Sunday night when the various members sat down to break bread.
Instead, they broke a few chairs, mostly over the cooking techniques, employed by Rhome's daughter-in-law, Dottie Jaggi, according to his girlfriend, Anna Jaggi.
Rhome is in Fayette County jail on a $20,000 bail and will face a preliminary hearing on Thursday.
Rhome's mother is surprised that things got so heated.
“He’s usually an easygoing guy,” she told KDKA-TV.
