"It was all going so well," remarked PanGalactic's maitre'd after the first service of space barnacle broth with Deuringas Truffles and Ochoeng Chilli, "until guests started melting".
Earlier that evening chef Oliver Gordon met rapturous applause as celebrities sampled the flamboyant restaurateurs latest creation, but as service finished events took a sinister turn.
"For a minute we thought we had overdone the chilli" said sous chef Cleo Sote, "but after wafer thin mints were served we knew something had gone terribly wrong as guests started dissolving at their tables."
One attending paramedic described the scene as something from a horror sim, quoting: "This is worse than the Cerberus Plague. Victims were literally being mopped from the floor."
Tests later revealed large quantities of barnacle flesh to be highly corrosive when eaten with Deuringas Truffles, the key garnish in the meal.
After facing copyright issues from Pan Galactic Mining Corp, the restaurant remains closed pending investigation by the Galactic Food Standards Agency. Oliver Gordon himself was unavailable for comment.
