For Black Frog restaurant patrons in Greenville, Maine, there used to be such a thing as a free lunch, but like most things that are supposedly free there were a few strings in this case, unattached. Read on and learn the naked truth
According to
news sources, if patrons at the Black frog restaurant had the nerve to put their money where their butt was so to speak, and run down a dock and plunge naked into Moosehead Lake, they would be awarded a free “Skinny Dip “ sandwich, a thinly sliced prime rib on a baguette. Owner, Leigh Turner, decided last week to stop dispensing these sandwiches after the town board voted to deny his liquor license renewal application.
The decision-makers in this popular tourist town all agreed that they would have had no problem granting the renewal for the license if he stopped the promotion for the sandwich which would usually cost $10.95 sandwich. According to Turner:
“Dropping the deal was a no-brainer. Au jus wins out over au naturel.”
Turner specified that there was never any frontal nudity exposed to customers and that last year he averaged two or three takers a week. But police said they had gotten several complaints, and three people received summonses for indecent conduct.
According to the Black Frog's Web site, its sandwiches also include “The Chicken That Didn't Make it Across the Road”, and one of the house rules is: “No food fights unless specifically authorized by your server.”
It would seem the Black Frog restaurant makes its own rules about decorum and menu selections.
No ifs, ands or butts about that, n’est c’e pas?
