Restaurant In Hot Water For Selling A Bruce Jenner-Inspired Hot Dog Thats Half Sausage Half Taco
NYDN – A Cincinnati wiener restaurant in hot water for its Bruce Jenner-inspired half-sausage, half-taco dish has apologized after being boiled by critics. “We aren’t bigots or transphobes, we never have been and never will be,” Senate Restaurant wrote on Facebook. “We would never want to hurt anyone for the sake of selling a hotdog.” The Ohio eatery, known for selling gourmet hot dogs named after celebrities, cooked up the controversial “Bruce Jenner 2.0″ menu item Friday – the same day the Olympic decathlon champion told the world he’s a woman. “It’s part hot dog, part taco and pure awesomeness,” the restaurant said in its “Dog of the Day” promotion, which has since been pulled off Facebook and its plates. The new frankfurter infuriated local transgender advocates, including Lindsey Deaton who called the creation “transphobic and bigoted.” Senate Restaurant issued an apology Monday, admitting that it was a “poor choice.” “It was highly insensitive and for that we are sorry,” it said in a statement. “We meant absolutely no malice. We are good people who made a bad decision.” All proceeds from the dish were donated to The Heartland Trans Wellness Fund, the restaurant said. “We think Bruce is incredibly courageous and his decision to transition will hopefully give others the strength to do the same.”
Get it? Like a dick and a pussy? Since Bruce is half a dude and half a chick?
Its a shame that transgenders are focusing on the dick and pussy joke instead of focusing on how awesome a hot dog-taco is. Like doesnt the creation of that new dish trump any potential harm the joke may have caused? I mean these guys clearly meant no harm. They’re donating money and have already apologized and shit. They didn’t mean to upset anyone. Lets stop giving them a hard time for tranny jokes and start praising them for cuisine ingenuity. Like if I was a tranny and saw this hot dog my first question wouldn’t be “How could they think this is funny?” My first questions would be “So is it more hot dog or more taco? Like do you put mustard on it? Or salsa and guacamole? Or both? Does the hot dog just take the place of the beef or chicken and the rest of the toppings are taco? Or does a tortilla replace the hot dog bun and thats the taco contribution? And where can I get one?”
Those would be all my questions. Because I wouldnt need anymore confusion in my life. I’d be a chick with a dick, I’d already have enough on my plate. Just give me a hot dog taco and let me find out if I like that or not and let me get back to my wacky he-she life.
