Title: Highway-themed restaurant/menu
Post by: usends on March 02, 2018, 10:52:53 PM
This is a portion of the menu at Crossroads Pub and Grill in Pine Junction, Colorado.  Sure, we can nitpick about the I-95 shield, but clearly this guy put a lot of thought into it, and I think he did a way better job than the average graphic designer would have.  I told the owner I was impressed with the authentic highway signs, and he responded that he "pulled them off the internet".

So every price is to the mile or half-mile marker

That's an impressive amount of effort put into accuracy, even if the I-95 marker blows.

This is what I thought, but it still sounds good.

I would have picked a Florida's Turnpike shield for the Florida Veggie.

Otherwise, cool menu

Not sure what they're "boneless wings" are like, but 8 for $9.50 isn't THAT expensive anymore - certainly not that great of a deal, but the price of wings has been skyrocketing lately (if only chickens had more than two wings).....

Chicken wings aren't anywhere near as powerful as rockets. Some airplane models can reach space (100 km) temporarily, but I still wouldn't call their wings sky rockets.

On topic, the 99 Restaurant (local to New England) has 50¢ (previously .49¢ [sic]) wings on Thursdays, which is much cheaper than this.

There's a $100 million invention: a GMO chicken that has multiple pairs of wings. :-P

99 Restaurant serves various types and viscosities of toxic ooze.

I can get a dozen wings for about that much...so yes, it is. :)

It's not as if Florida constantly dines on veggie burgers, being one of the top-10 beef producing regions of the nation.

It must have to do with the Boca Burger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boca_Burger), which is technically named for Spanish orifice for which comestibles are inserted.
