WHERE’S THE BEEF?

Woman goes ballistic after eatery runs out of beef patties

Wanted: one very hangry, very pregnant bat-swinging woman with a serious beef.

Cops were still searching Saturday for a mystery woman who became so enraged last month when a Bronx restaurant ran out of Jamaican beef patties, she came back with a baseball bat and smashed up the front window.

The batty-for-patties customer appeared to be about eight months pregnant, and had been to the Back Home Restaurant in Morrisania before. She’d buy ox tail stew and curried chicken, said co-owner Simone Johnson.

This time, though, she craved the restaurant’s renowned, homemade beef patties — and she wanted them now.

“What do you mean that the patties are not ready?” the woman screamed, on learning she’d have to wait 10 minutes for the next baked-from-scratch batch, Johnson told The Post.

A counter worker tried to interest the woman in a vegetable pattie. Or maybe a nice chicken pattie.

“We have other flavors available,” the counter worker explained.

But the woman wasn’t having it.

“She started pacing back and forth,” Johnson said.

“Ok, ma’am,” the worker said, leaving for the back kitchen. “Please let me know when you are ready to order.”

But then the woman started screaming: “Where are you?”

Another worker rushed over to help, explaining again: the beef patties were not ready.

“You are lying!” the woman hollered. “The beef patties are ready! That’s what I really want!”

“She started cursing, using the ‘F’ word,” Johnson said.

When the woman finally threw money on the counter and stalked off with a slice of carrot cake, the workers figured that was the end of it.

Then, “About five minutes later, she came back with a bat and with all her might took eight whacks,” Johnson said.

The woman’s “reach-for-the-fences” swings sent pizza-slice-sized shards of glass flying into the store. It cost $2,000 to fix the door and window.

There’s only one bright side, Johnson said, to the woman’s tantrum: “That goes to tell you how good they are.”
