THE SHOT — The revised menu at Hana Natural, a grocery store in Brooklyn’s Bushwick, which scrapped “Gay Boy,” “Butter Face” and the Mexican-inspired “Illegal.” Their new names are much awesomer. Though to be fair, the shop did get the gay stereotype right: if we’d ever order bacon or cheese, they’d be falsified vegetable derivatives. Relays The Brooklyn Paper: “An employee at the 24-hour Bushwick store could not recall why the sandwich names had been changed or where the sandwich names came from.” Heh.

It looks like something most of my gay boys would eat

If I were ever to order veggie ‘bacon’ or veggie ‘cheese,’ I hope someone would shoot me. Actual food wins over chemically processed food-substitutes any day, both in flavor AND for one’s health.

Eh, this is just silly news that’s being posted to outrage some people for a few seconds (like most things that are published here).
I’m assuming the employee didn’t know where the names came from, because they’re from the original Hana Food in Williamsburg. The staff there are very friendly to my boyfriend and I, and I know many gay people that go there for food, after all it’s right next to Williamsburg’s only official gay bar. All the sandwich names could be considered ‘offensive’, but who gives a shit?

@Truthful: Oh, Williamsburg. Must be that hipster “irony” again.
