Even worse than when the dining hall I ate at in school would put baba ghanoush on prosciutto sandwiches.

Someone should really grab a screen shot of that. I bet it'll be gone soon.

Thoughtless and maybe a little racist? Yes. Would I still order it? Probably.

Wow, that's kind of offensive. Even more offensive than their $14 "Dick's Deluxe".

LL is overrated anyway. There, I said it.

That place is pretty damn good. I suppose being good at making and selling burgers kind of preempts the whole cultural sensitivity thing. And spelling.

When I was in college, every year the dining hall would have a dinner for Black history month, and it was always fried chicken, collard greens, cornbread, black eyed peas, and watermelon, among a few other small things.

Always struck me as a bit racist, but none of the black students seemed to care, and it kept happening.

Did they already change the name?

So did this just change to Malcolm Smith x-factor? They probably meant the Seahawks player the whole time, just we're trying to make a bad Malcolm X pun out of it, too. The rest of the specials are Seahawks/Super Bowl related...

Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith is a devout Muslim? What am I missing here that I'm supposed to be outraged about?

They might offend some black and/or Muslim people with the name and ingredients of that sandwich, but they're much more likely to offend the NFL by using the trademarked "Super Bowl" name on their menu (unless they're paying a shit ton of money to be a Proud Sponsor of the NFL).

Malcolm Smith wasn't even born when Super Bowl X was played.

Also, the H. Rap Brownie is now the Dave Brownie.

and here I thought "Date Grape Koolaid" was the dumbest most insensitive menu item I'd see this year ("it's for the ladies"). I'm starting to believe in chem trails.

@5,

I like the options on offer for their burgers, but not their execution. And I really can't stand the sports bar vibe in that place.

For my money, the best burger in town can be had at King's Hardware.
