Mmmmmmm boy - - -Toby Keith has opened a freeper restaurant!
Edited on Wed Jul-13-05 04:32 PM by Bluebear


Evidently Harrah's is not after the progressive's gambling dollar.


=====
Anyone looking for French cuisine at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill at Harrah's Las Vegas, 3475 Las Vegas Blvd. South, is either crazy or a stand-up comedian.

"It's American, Midwestern type of food, with large, large portions," says Shawn Ritchie, Harrah's vice president of food and beverage.

Keith, the country singer known for his robust patriotism and 16 No. 1 hits on the country charts, approved all the items on the menu. Of course, the french fries are called Freedom Fries in Keith's place...

"There are four or five items on the menu that Toby insisted on having," says Harrah's executive chef Tim Bowen. Namely, the fried bologna sandwich, the fried okra, turnip greens, chicken fried steak sandwich and Head barbecue sauce, "which is his favorite since childhood," says Bowen, who keeps an eye on the menu along with specialty room chef Matthew Jones.

2. Just what most gamblers need -
"large, large portions."

Don't get me wrong - I myself enjoy gambling. But jeez folks, between the smoking, drinking and non-stop eating, I can hardly make my way through the bellies to a blackjack table. Instead of dealing 8 hands, the dealer can only deal 4 because it takes that much room to seat some of these people.

We don't need bigger portions.

7. The type who likes this kid of food will WANT bigger portions
I know what you mean, though, most of us really don't need to eat more, gambling or not. Big portions seem to go with the effect he's trying to create.

It looks like the kind of food where a sane and healthy person would spend the rest of the evening on the toilet.:hurts:

Also, why isn't Mr. Keith in Iraq?

31. I love fried bologna sandwiches
Though only once a year. I would never eat at Keith's place because I won't eat anywhere that has "Freedom Fries" on its menu.

There's a little place in Ohio that serves the best fried bologna sandwiches around.

32. Oh I wouldn't eat there either. Hell the "freedumb fry" representative...
...recently backed off the Iraq debacle.

The fact that he's caling them that is truly retarded.

17. That picture of him could serve as a diet plan and birth control
Mullets don't look good on anybody.

I love artery clogging food more than I should but I would never eat at a restaurant owned by him or one that serves freedom fries.

18. There's a seafood joint in North Andover...
that has "Freedom fries" on the menu. I noticed after I placed my order and while waiting also saw a bunch of Bush memorabilia on the opposite wall. I won't return to that place.

26. The Clam Box in Ipswich use to have them
When I saw it on the menu I had to be talked out of making a scene. I refused to eat there that day and haven't been back since. I've been told it's since gone back to french fries but I haven't returned.

30. Lessee...Freeper Restaurant...what can we do with that...?
OK--

So this guy goes into Toby's with an alligator under his arm and says "Do you serve FReepers here?"

The waiter says "Sure."

The guy says "Great. Bring one for my alligator."

_________________________

Another guy comes in, sits down & looks at the menu, When the waiter comes, he says "Hey, how come these FReepers on the menu are so expensive? Are they that wonderful?"

"No," says the waiter. "I don't really think they're wonderful at all. But did you ever have to clean one of those bastards?"

52. You gotta understand,
I'm a vegetarian. And except for french fries, which I have only rarely, I hardly ever touch fried foods, either.

So yeah, that picture made me throw up in my mouth a little. Ug.

38. I wonder of Mr. Keith knows that Rep. Walter Jones of NC is
embarrassed as hell at starting the "Freedom Fries" bullshit - you know, now that Jones has realized Bush lied to everyone?

Oh, and why isn't Toby being "patriotic" in Iraq?
