Outsourcing marketing to fridge magnets.
nitpicky? maybe. But I saw this from 150 ft away. Catholic School programmed me well.
Polish my eyes? Why would I have to stand still to feel the taste, exactly? The flavor is so delicate that I can find what? Man I hate cliffhangers!
They were going full throttle on these tarts with pork, but they had to pull it back a little.
Is Dornut Atkins-friendly?
This sounds like something the Viet-Cong would line with punji sticks while trying to capture Rambo and Braddock.
Botched English in miswritten. (actually, the next word was “rice” but it wrapped and whoever did this in Microsoft Word hit print anyway. you can see the top of the word under “Poached.” Does this take the magic away? )
Holy recursive meals batman! Pork Melt contains slices of Pork Melt, which contain slices of Pork Melt, which contain… actually, it’s just Pork Melt all the way down.
“Why of course, your Shanghainess…”
“Dude, your Supreme Broth totally kicks the crap out of my Fastidious Glaze!”
This just bumed the top of my mouth.
We control all that you see and hear. Polish your eyes. Hold still, now taste the feeling. Taste it!
NOTE: all of these examples of Manglish were found today, here in the good old USA. It’s harder to find, but still here if you know where to look. More coming soon…
NOTE2: I have placed a collection of some mangled english and writings on China or popular posts on the left - enjoy.
NOTE3: waaaay more than 3% of you got the Twilight Zone reference in a previous post. Glad I’m not the only dork in the world. Let’s hold hands!

Glad I found your site. Came in through that hillarious long menu “Cowboy leg beautiful pole.”
Anyway, your comments remind me of James Lileks except he fondly tears apart 1930s-1970s Americana.
You might like his stuff. I almost thought you were him for a moment.

dude, what kind of meanness is it to not tell us which entry had the twilight zone reference, so that we can go back to it and see what kind of geeks we are?

thanks.

My bad - i’ve included the link in the post now. I hope all this hype doesn’t kill it. It hardly seems funny now….

Jon, your site is hilarious! I’m Korean and I love going to Asian restaurants and pointing out the typos in the menus.

Wow, it took me like 4 page views to realize that braking is what you do when you go full throttle and pull it back. I thought you just meant they were really pushin the tarts with pork. Tarts with pork is funny, but I wasnt getting the full throttle. I’m dumb. I did get the Twilight Zone though, so its cool. Ima go polish my eyes.
