'Caribbean Black and Bleu' Sandwich Tastelessly Named After Rihanna and Chris Brown

March 27, 2012

The Chops & Hops restaurant in Georgia promoted a new sandwich over the weekend called the Caribbean Black and Bleu. While it might seem harmless, the sandwich is actually named after Rihanna and Chris Brown, and the controversy that took place between the former couple three years ago. 

An affiliate of the restaurant took to Twitter to promote the new sandwich. "@chrisbrown, @rihanna and us teamed up for a award winning celebrity sandwich," they wrote. "Chris Brown won't beat you up for eating this unless your name starts with a R and ends with A." The tweets have since been removed. 

After getting some unimpressed comments about the tasteless new sandwich, Chops & Hops decided to remove the Caribbean Black and Bleu from their menu.

"Many of us have been affected by domestic violence in some manner and realize that this is no joke," their Facebook page reads. "We have been involved in fundraising for Project Safe Team 6 and we fully intend on donating proceeds from the sales of the burger. C&H continues to strive for a community driven, family oriented, great food and great service environment."
