It is a much greater departure than Americanized Chinese food, for example. It is not even close. Not that it matters, but I thought you all would be interested in knowing that.

The same reason there is a Forrest Street in Shenandoah.

Aren't all the streets in Shenandoah named after civil war related things?

Wasn't Forrest a civil war general?


Why wouldn't they have a street named after him?

Don't eat there if you don't like the name... No one is forcing you eat there and maybe the owner said I will name this Genghis Grill ,because frick you that's why.

because he was like 800 years ago and we are about 5 generations beyond anyone in the world having relatives who heard first hang stories while hitler was about 70 years ago.

not that hard of a concept

A very brilliant one at that.

He was also a slave trader before the war, and one of the original founders of the KKK after.

in 1864 after subduing Fort Pillow mostly defended by black Union solders, he ordered all solders trying to surrender murdered, allegedly because of their race.

In short, NBF was the true white devil of the Black man's nightmare.

So in 920 years or so Hitler will look pretty good.

Julius Caesar claimed responsibility for killing a million and enslaving 2 million more...he has a Mardi Gras parade and a type of salad named after him

I think its more likely he gets a BBQ place. Hitler's Bar and Gas Grill. They'd probably have some pretty good Oktoberfest beers at least
