It's lame but smart move. You don't want some PR nightmare on your hands. Nip it in the bud before you have black lives matter spray painted across your building

Oh my word!
At least Rocky and Carlo's still has the Wop Salad.

Last week, Red's Chinese changed the name of its most popular menu item. The fried chicken dish was called General Lee's Chicken until a diner questioned the prudence of honoring the former Confederate general Robert E. Lee.
This is fricking ridiculous.

Harrell's prepared statement in its entirety: "It was brought to our attention that the name of the cocktail could offend others. While our intent was to reference the rum trade and the origin of the ingredients, we understand that this term has dual meanings. It was removed immediately from the menu out of respect and support for all."
And this is just as bad. Too many people just looking to be offended.

Good thing that Chinese lives don't matter or they'd be having to change the name of the restaurant too.
When will the madness end?

You can't remove every reference to slavery ever. Keep the name, provide a description of what it was and everyone learns a little history. Might spark discussion.

The pussification of America continues.

Must not be hurting Red's, they were sold out when I tried ordering friday night. Luckily the rest of the menu is top notch.

Wake me up when Cracker Barrel makes a change.
