You mess with the crabbo...



There are definitely some restaurants that are fronts for money laundering, and they usually suck because the food's just there enough to be convincing. What you really want are the ones that put some effort into it. Like a mafia pizza shop that actually puts the work in? It's gonna be twice as good as anybody else because the food's made well purely out of love :discourse:

Sorry to be pedantic, but in Korea, Dog is poor peoples food.

When I had it, Bosintang, (dog stew), wasn't that expensive, but it was hard to find. I had to go to a little restaurant up in the hills to get it. It was tasty, goes well with spring onions.

Thank you.

Protip: if anyone uses the word "delicacy" to describe a foreign food you can be 110% sure they don't know what they're talking about and are just repeating something they heard.

Mafia places are fantastic because that's where everybody in the family eats and takes their meetings. You don't want to insult somebody by having lovely food.

The other great celebrity urban legend was the "[Celebrity] had to have their stomach pumped, doctors pumped out a gallon of semen from forty different people!" one. My favorite bit being the idea of ER doctors sending a gallon of spunk to the lab for some reason.

Don't forget about Richard Geere shoving a gerbil up his rear end. I have no idea how that one got started.

Oh for sure, I didn't mean "they have to be fronts because there are too many kebab shops", that's just what we thought as dumb kids who didn't know about stuff like how clustering can help restaurants.

This is Green Lanes/the Ladders in London, tho, which legitimately is an area with strong and historic ties to organised crime and a lot of fronts - just not to some mysterious "Cypriot Mafia" making doner meat out of people, and also mostly kebab shops really are just kebab shops, the fronts tend to turn out to be things like the 24hr florists and corner shops and stuff.

Clustering is a funny thing, you can see it with fast food and chain restaurants, as memorably demonstrated by 'Junk Food Corner' that has a McDonald's, KFC and Hungry Jacks all around the same intersection along with other food places.

I'm told it can get even weirder in some places like China, where you see market districts of stores that sell specific things like army surplus uniforms all next to each other.

Also because the bottom line isn't based on their service they actually have a more relaxed working environment, I imagine.

Reminds me of the rumors that McDonald's used mealworms or something instead of beef to save cash, except in reality using beef really is the cheaper option.

My favorite McDonalds one is that they're the world's largest purchaser of cow eyeball, presably to make milkshakes or something. It's probably true even! Because they just buy an absolute loving huge amount of cows wholesale. Just... not to use the eyes for poo poo.

It was a weird thing straight people attributed to gay dudes in the 80's and 90's. For some reason it really stuck with him, along with rumors of him being gay. But other celebs got tarred with it.

The two restaurants on that road I am utterly convinced are fronts are a) a dingy horrible kebab shop with attached restaurant that's always closed, with awful food, that's open 24hrs, never has anyone in it, is overpriced and always has an unusually large number of bulky serious looking men behind the counter and b) the best restaurant on the road hands down, which is always busy, bizarrely cheap for how good it is, and has at least one table that's always and only filled by serious looking men wearing very expensive trainers.

I think you could do a pretty interesting sociology paper about variations on the "[celebrity] got a rib removed so he could suck his own dick" and "[celebrity] had to be rushed to the hospital to have a gallon of semen pumped out of their stomach" urban legends across time and geographical regions. I'd read it, at least.

No reason at all.



Also where would you find a doctor that would do that?

And in very geographic and time specific urban celebrity legend. Everybody in Melbourne who went to school during the 90s would swear that it was their Maths teacher who was the bass player in TISM. They would be wrong though, because it was my year 9 science teacher.
