As Eva points out, this sign from Buffalo has a number of things that merit gentle mockery. I suppose the "italian" (food? people?) is likely accurate.
Actually, I think the quotation marks are probably justified. If you are not really making Italian food, you might as well call that frozen pizza what it is - something often referred to as Italian, but bearing little resemblance to the real thing.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

I've been there. The food is "awesome."
I recommend everything on the menu except for the Italian food...it's a bit lacking...
Now I want to go check this place out. Where is it? It's not too often I see things on this site that are from ol' Buffalo.
This makes me question my heritage - am I Italian or "Italian"?

I like that you're supposed to fish daily.
Perhaps there are no Italians working there, so the food is only pretending.
