HelperMonkeyParticipant“Female friendly menu items” – um, can someone explain this piece of sexist trash to me? I’m a lady, so I can’t eat ribs? Must not eat fattening foods so in Gerry Kingen’s 1950’s mindset I can snatch me up a husband? what the actual…? I mean, I expect nothing less from the guy who rides around in a van plastered with right wing propaganda, but this is easily the most laughable thing I’ve seen.
“He says the restaurant, modeled after the decades old version in SoDo, will be the first of a 25-restaurant chain featuring “female friendly” options, salads, and of course, good old fashioned barbecue.”January 22, 2016 at 9:40 am #831054
WSBKeymasterHM, having received the original news release, I am 99.9 percent sure that is an auto-correct or typo for “family-friendly.” – Tracy

HelperMonkeyParticipantwell, that is both reassuring (maybe it’s not sexist nonsense) and distressing (that King-5 doesn’t proofread prior to publishing) !!

datamuseParticipantIt wouldn’t be the first time I’d seen a lack of proofreading on King 5 stories. (And other signs of poor or no editing as well; I’ve seen a few stories where they repeat sentences and entire paragraphs.)

2 Much WhineParticipantI don’t know why “female friendly” is offensive. In my family the females generally do not like to eat meat on a bone. If the restaurant offered boneless BBQ, for example, I would consider that female friendly. I’ve met a lot of women that will not eat meat on a bone but I’ve never met a male with that restriction. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen but I’d consider a BBQ place that offered salads besides cole slaw and also provided boneless BBQ “female friendly.” I’d see that as a positive thing. It’s probably just a typo but even if it isn’t they are probably just expanding their traditional customer base beyond BBQ loving guys.

datamuseParticipantHow about they provide the pulled pork (which they do already) and skip the gendering? I don’t like places of business making assumptions about what I’m going to like.
January 22, 2016 at 2:43 pm #831084
PangolinPieParticipantNow bizarre. I am female and have no problem at all eating meat on the bone, and I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone (male or female) who objects to it. My cat, maybe. But she’s a little fussy. Wait – maybe they meant FELINE-friendly! :)

dhgParticipantI do not know this person and so I’m taking a blind stab at it and assuming it is not an auto-correct: If you’ve tried their food in Sodo then you know it’s the messiest BBQ in Seattle. You can’t pick up their sandwiches without sauce dripping down your wrists. So, guys often don’t care much but women do object to having their clothing sauced.

JanSParticipantare they gonna have “Skinny Girl” drinks, too? Because, you know, Oprah has said that all we need to be is skinny in a size 4 dress, and we’ll have reached Nirvana…
wow, just effing wow !
January 22, 2016 at 8:29 pm #831112
JanSParticipantmaybe the guys SHOULD care that they look like disgusting animals ;-)
Hell, if it’s good BBQ, god created napkins…I’m not there looking for a hookup, for goodness sake…let me eat !
January 22, 2016 at 8:34 pm #831113
JanSParticipantand my final thought…I didn’t realize that Gerry Kingen was knee deep in this restaurant. I’m sorry to hear that. I boycott that business on the water ever since he parked that truck outside comparing Obama to Hitler…I love BBQ..ON THE BONE OR NOT…good grief…do your wimmen folk eat fried chicken? Do they know what they’re missing? Will I have to hold my nose and still buy his BBQ product. Or will I have to dream about how good it is.?
January 23, 2016 at 9:21 am #831141
JoBParticipantin my house. the lady of the house eats the meat off the bone and the gentleman prefers his pulled.
just saying….. besides.. i’m with Jan. I won’t be supporting any of his businesses so it won’t matter much to me how he serves his BBQJanuary 23, 2016 at 10:14 am #831145

PibalParticipantThe thought occurs to me that this thread could be built into quite the old SNL comedy routine.
“Female friendly? How dare they? Well this is one very unfriendly female on BBQ gender bias! Etc., etc….”
“Ahem, that’s ‘…family friendly…'”
Roseanne Rosannadanna: “Never mind.”

HelperMonkeyParticipantI agree that it would be hilarious if it were a typo. Sadly, King-5 still has the same story up, so I have to assume that it was intentional. Like I said, I expect nothing less from the guy who drives around with Hitler quotes on his van. I’ve been boycotting Salty’s for a long time and it won’t be any skin off to boycott this joint too, especially since there is superior BBQ less than a block away at Jones!
