How would the esteemed posters of the F&DB handle this?

Im at a semi-upscale restaurant in Laffy eating a damned delicious serving of crawfish half & half (half fried - half etouffe'). About 1/3 thru the meal, I discover a 14" blond strand of hair hanging from a forkfull of etouffe'. I might add that it was beautifully infused throughout....
I politely call the server over and show her the hair hanging from the etouffe'. Her response is "Oh my, I'm sorry that happened, can we get you a free dessert" - and then waited for a reply from me. I looked her in the eye and said nothing - for what seemed like 5 minutes. She said nothing - I said nothing, a cajun stand off. She finally walked off, never mentioning it again.
I paid the bill and will probably never return. Truth is, the hair didnt bother me, what did was the policy of the restaurant not to offer a $16.95 replacement plate - but a $2.95 dessert instead. That really pissed me off.
How would yall have handled this? And screw a $2.95 dessert!

Here's what I would have done.
Oh wait, you said "esteemed posters." Never mind.

I wonder if that is how the restaurant typically handles such issues or you got waiter that didn't know or understand the proper way to handle it...

At least she offered something...

I would have just finished my meal.

So you want $17?
Why, if the hair didn't bother you?

or another option...

I'd have accepted the dessert and moved on with my night.

That's what you get for veering off from the oil center Popeyes. No hairs there
Posted on 8/13/13 at 10:47 am to Count Chocula
At least it was blonde.

I'd have said "dessert is a nice offer, but I'd like a new plate of food without hair this time."

The hair likely comes from the server, not the kitchen. Hair would melt in a pot of etouffe'. The only way it survives is after it's plated.
I live with two females. I find hair on my freshly laundered clothes, car seats, furniture, showers, and everywhere else. I can't get away from hair. I just got over it.

If she was very pretty and had big tits I'd have said "No problem."
If she was fat, ugly and had tatoos I'd have demanded she be fired immediately.
I always judge people by their physical appearance.

If it was just that one hair and it didn't resemble pubic hair, then I'd have pulled it out and gone about my meal without bringing it up.

not acceptable.. I would have walked out at that moment.

Better than eating cereal.

I'd have pulled the hair out and never said a word. Hair does not bug me, and per your post, did not bother you, so why be a girl about it? I presume you finished the meal, since it did not bug you.
