*One of Atlanta’s hot eating spots, Chops and Hops, got a little heat from fans after pushing a pretty offensively clever promotion: the Chris Brown Rihanna “black and bleu” sandwich.
Yeah that’d be a problem.

The owner said the menu option was of course inspired by the former couple’s domestic dispute, but fans found it was a bad promotion in poor taste. So he made an executive decision and took it off the menu.
The restaurant then apologized for offending anyone.
In promoting the sandwich Chops & Hops tweeted that “@chrisbrown, @rihanna and us teamed up for a award winning celebrity sandwich.”
Then added:
“Chris Brown won’t beat you up for eating this unless your name starts with a R and ends with A,” the tweet said.
Although the name was a bad idea, the sandwich would probably be a hit. (No pun intended.)
The “black and bleu” sandwich featured Caribbean spiced marinated sliced ribeye blackened, bleu cheese, sliced tomato, silver Lamborghini onions and shredded Romaine.
In the meantime, the owner wanted to emphasize that the restaurant and staff do not promote or support domestic violence.
Looks very dry but, great hook line.
Fyi… This is not an Atlanta hotspot. It’s located in the little town of Watkinsville, which is about 2 hours outside of Atlanta, population 3000… Just sayin…
