If you live near Watson Lake, Yukon, Canada be sure and stop by our own Wankette’s burger joint. Who knew? After that we can stop by for some sushi at the Kum Den and wash it down with a beer at Hitler’s Cross.

My Dung Restaurant seems like it could be a truth in advertising, and perhaps best passed by. And considering it’s in California, there might be a larger significance.
No wonder we only hear from Wanks once a week. She’s too busy sneaking across the border to run her burger joint.
Aha! A Cannuck in sheeps clothing!
Oh, maaaaaaaannnnnn!!!!!!!! I want that sign! Wonder if I could sue for copyright infringement.
Floyd, kiss on the lips, etc., for tracking this one down.
Heh! Hitler’s Cross. Heh. That went over well with the Muslim population of Mumbai but no one else thought it humerous.
Ah, Canada: North America’s Nazi Germany, but without all the snappy uniforms…
Kind of like the currency of Vietnam…the Dong
Great site,floyd…did you see the 10 Unfortunate Store Names?
Back in the early 1970s before “polical correctness” hit America and everyone on the left lost their sense of humor, there was a barbecue restaurant in Arlington, Texas right across the street from The Univ. Of Texas at Arlington. In bold, large neon letters facing the major street intersection, the sign read, “Big Nigger’s Barbecue.” The restaurant was indeed owned and operated by a very large black gentleman, who was proud to turn out some of the best barbecue in north central Texas.
I’m guessing that a group of PC white people got together and told him to close it or change the name.
You lived in Arlington Tx back in the early 70′s? So did I!
Yes Tracy, for about 6 years and then on to Wichita Falls (not a pretty city).
I too remember Big Nigger’s Barbque( Good food, good prices) but I thought it was the radical young blacks that forced him out.
I had heard that he told someone they could change the name when they bought it.
Thank you. I couldn’t believe my eyes, the first time I saw the restaurant. I’m not sure, but I think that it was on South Cooper, a few blocks south of UTA. Are you aware of an internet site with a photo I can share with my dubious friends and relatives?
I ate there a few times with my Uncle Vance who was friends with the owner. It was called the “Big Nigger” because that was according to the owner, That is what they call me!” as he was laughing a big deep laugh. The food and service was as good as I ever had anywhere.
You are right, good food, fun place to eat I went there many times as a teenager. The big guy was the manager (great marketer!) who ran the place but the restaurant was actually owned by a small guy named Herschel. Southeast Corner of Cooper and Mitchell. I remember Herschel had a heart attack and the restaurant was shut down within days of his death. I have a photo of it somewhere, but good gosh in these days I would never upload it anywhere. As a matter of fact now that I think about it I probably shouldn’t even admit I knew about the place.
Herschel Matthews was the owner………….I used to sell him mesquite wood for his BBQ.I have a matchbook from there, it’s black sateen (?) with Herschell’s image in gold, at the top is ‘Big Niggers’, and under his image it reads ‘Herschell Mattews-H.N.I.C. (Head n—— in charge). Good guy, very unusual time.
If you could upload it here that would be OK. I used to live in Arlington… it would be bring back memories.
Good point,Fritz…the only people in 2009 who use that word are black
And then there’s Hung Far Low.
Jake saw it
No wonder it’s Hung Far Low Scott — it was established in 1928!
Is that the Won Hung Lo family?
Concerning the Big N– Barbecue in Arlington in 1973. It was at the corner of Mitchel and Cooper – now a parking lot. In regards to a photo – I believe there was an interview with the owner in the September or October 1973 UTA Newspaper. I think I remeber seeing a photo with the article.
