Try the beef in "Wikipedia flavor"
This menu from a Chinese and Japanese restaurant in Massachussetts invites you to try Item C14, "Beef Brisket in Wikipedia Flavor." (Consumerist via Susannah Breslin)
Freight train goes off tracks and hits perfectly-named bar
Last night in Charles City, Iowa, a freight train car separated from the track as it was changing connections and tipped right into the back of a bar. The name of the trackside tavern? DeRailed. Nobody was injured. (KCCI)

Georgia gas-station DVDs, like a scene from a racialized, porny Repo Man
Yes, they made the “Asian” porn yellow — apparently this is a pretty common sight in Georgia gas-stations, though the proliferation of network connections in big rigs will surely cut into that market (and create some serious potential for mischief).

I’ve heard it tastes pretty good (citation needed).
Stone soup: the soup that anyone can edit.
But does the menu have a “Criticism” section?
“Wikipedia Flavor” sounds like weasel words!
This Beef Brisket is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by slightly sautéing it with some season vegetables.
Wikipedia seems to be a recurring ingredient in Chinese cuisine; here it appears to be some kind of fungus used in a restaurant in Beijing, and in Taiwan, it’s apparently a type of cheesecake.
This story is so October 2009.
I’ll bet that’s a spellchecker typo. You get those in ESL menus. “Beef brisket in Wikipedia flavor” is the best one I’ve seen since “Eggplant Paramecium,” which was also spotted in a Chinese menu. The latter was originally meant to be “Eggplant Parmigiana,” but I can’t begin to guess what “Wikipedia flavor” was supposed to be.
“Too many cooks spoil the broth”?
This story came a day too late for me. I was just in Framingham yesterday for the Cake Wrecks tour event.
If only it had been listed under A7 instead of C15.
Going to get a visit from the FDA about those medical claims. That’s a 483 offense right there.
#12, Mysterious Taste Chicken, has me more curious…
The C menu also has some U-Toy items that have me intrigued.
@13, that’s probably a synonym for ‘strange flavor chicken’… strange as in ‘stranger’, i.e. ‘foreigner’. So read as “this sauce is made with foreign-to-China ingredients”. It’s pretty common on Chinese menus.
No clue what U-Toy is. Probably a really bad romanization of some obscure Chinese vegetable’s name.
I’m fascinated there is a Chinese sign for Wikipedia.
