It's been a while since I posted something from KBar. We're still corresponding regularly and mostly it's just the usual chatter.The other day he sent me Burger's name stirs a beef and, I'll admit, I'm offended.
You need to understand some things. First and as I explained from the stage at the recent Emetrics Summit in SF, I'm an Asian-Canadian. I've included my picture so you can see for yourself just how Asian-Canadian I am.
What? You don't believe me? Oh...that's the wrong picture. This one is of me (left cheek and all, for those who were at my presentation at The 'Summit).
What? You still don't believe me? Well, that could be because lots of people get me confused with June Li, a very well known Italian-American.
What am I going on about this time?
The Burger's name stirs a beef article makes me want to call those people up and tell them that I'm offended that they had to change the name of their sandwich. I'm not slighting the fellow who was offended. I don't know him. For that matter, I've never been to the restaurant, never had a WopBurger -- well, okay, some folks who've been to one of our cookouts have had my version of a WopBurger; a thick patty with lots of cheese and hot pepper sauce -- oh, there, I've written it. The language police will be onto me now for sure.
