Matt Cercone, owner of the restaurant, says that if he had known this would happen, he would not have put the flavor on the menu. Umm, hmm. Black-on-black crime is never funny or sarcastic, so why does it take drama for Cercone to do the obvious? And if you think it can't get any worse, it does. The flavor was supposedly invented by a loyal African-American customer. Cercone, who has received death threats and threats to boycott the restaurant, pulled the item off the menu.
