We're sure the Rihanna Navy and Team Breezy aren't too happy about the Chops & Hops sandwich of the week. A Watkinsville, Georgia restaurant named their “Black & Bleau” sandwich special in honor of the Chris Brown and Rihanna domestic violence incident that took place back in Febuary 2009, and the resulting fallout was to be expected.

After fans of both singers voiced their displeasure with the sandwich, Chef Richard Miley told ABCNews, “I was not trying to make a joke of domestic violence, just bringing light to the situation through food.” The “Black and Bleu” is a ribeye sandwich topped with bleu cheese, tomatoes, onions and shredded romaine lettuce.

The restaurant posted, “Put your hands on this Caribbean black and bleu sandwich,” on their Facebook page. They continued with “Chris Brown won’t beat you up for eating this unless your name starts with a R and ends with A.”

The restaurant has been known to name “sandwich of the week” with poor taste. A few weeks back, they decided to pay tribute to the late singer Whitney Houston, with a sandwich topped with powdered sugar and sea salt.

Who well be the next celebrity to fall victim, rather, honored by Chops & Hops as their next “sandwich of the week”?

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
