Burgers.
Randys hardcore burgers....
With names such as

Sign up A Sheffield restaurant has been told to remove offensively named burgers from its menu or face action from the council. Sheffield Council says Randy’s Hardcore Hamburgers is “propagating a toxic culture” by selling burgers which “glamourise non consensual sex acts”. The West One restaurant had apologised previously after complaints about its “The Weinstein” burger and amended the menu. But Sheffield Council has now asked it to remove other burger names including “Fake Taxi” and “Ca$ting C0uch” and has warned it will take action.

Just why?
Rape sells burgers?

Yeah, I've just googled this place and, well, no. Found this article about one of their branches. confidentials.com/manchester/randys-hardcore-hamburgers-northern-quarter
Ugh it's pretty depressing. YANBU.

When I just saw the title, I thought it was maybe an overreaction but those burger names are not on.

That is horrendously badly judged as a USP. Awful.

Advertising prosecco with the quote 'We need more girls in here'

Sexist dross

lastqueenofscotland · 06/12/2018 13:27

There’s one in Fallowfield (student end of Manchester) too with the same names.

Buster72 · 06/12/2018 13:43

Well someone buys it if there is more than one branch it must be successful.
Not right just a success.

HowlsMovingBungalow · 06/12/2018 13:44

Sounds like this branch has closed.

Good.

It seems some IT-savvy disgruntled employee has the same opinion - look what has happened to their website!

Indeed. I wonder whether that person has just started posting on MN. Still I'm not sure it's an employee:

They appear to have taken the original site and created a copy to advertise women's aid.
