Come For The Ethnic Slur, Stay For The Food Named After A Lethal Disease

In the You Have Got To Be Kidding file comes a Philadelphia cheesesteak joint that thought it was perfectly acceptable to call a dish involving mac and cheese with Chinese chili sauce "COVID Mac." When a representative of an Asian-American organization called the restaurant, they told him they "don't know what the problem is" but they dropped the name and think that does the trick. Granted, you can't expect cultural sensitivity from a cheesesteak joint, but this is what you get when you go through four years with a president who decided that the way to address a pandemic is to just keep calling it the "China virus."
