April Fools! ...or not.

[samnite]

Dear the Spec,
Please do not post earth-shattering, world-destroying, slightly absurd news (they're turning the 'Stend into a CUBAN RESTAURANT?!) as a web update on April Fools Day. It's just confusing.

[pennylane23]

now it definitely won't be part of the columbia experience! ha! i win!

no, seriously, now i HAVE to go at least once.

[lovemanifests]

so were they serious, or not.

[samnite]

Well, here's a slightly expanded version that ran today. So yeah, I think they're serious.

[natzmeister]

and what exactly is wrong with cuban restaurants?!

[samnite]

Nothing is inherently wrong with Cuban restaurants. But here's what's wrong with this one:
a. It's not the 'Stend.
b. Havana Central is a CHAIN Cuban Restaurant.
c. That's like saying, "Man, Jack Kerouac used to hang out in Chipotle."

[natzmeister]

lol, i know, i was kidding. but i dug the chipotle reference. 'cuz we totally know real mexicans love to eat their tacos and burritos with lots of sour cream and tostito salsa.

Gahd! Do not make any sort of connection between Chipotle (either the chain or the sauce) and Cuban anything. That being said, replacing the West End con un restaurante cubano, es veramente absurdo, concordo.
