DETROIT (WXYZ) - Cheese sticks are cheese sticks, right? Well, the owner of the Dago Joe's food truck chose to differentiate his with an odd menu description. They're "battered, like your wife," his menu explains.
An offended potential customer tipped off 7 Action News after searching the Dago Joe's website for a lunch option.
The mozzarella cheese sticks are listed alongside other side options. The description says, "Not just breaded, they're battered, like your wife. With your choice of sauces or ranch dressing."
Looking for an explanation, reporter Ronnie Dahl caught up with the Dago Joe's food truck Tuesday afternoon, near Campus Martius Park in downtown Detroit.
Owner Joe Sciamanna explained the menu description, saying, "It was just a joke."
"We're not joking about battered women," he said. "We're just joking about the battered mozzarella sticks."
Sciamanna also explained that the cheese sticks were sold out by the time 7 Action News checked in with him on Tuesday.
While they remained untouched on the truck's website menu, the words "like your wife" had been lightly colored over on the menu posted to the side of the truck." They could still be read clearly.
Sciamanna says the words were previous covered up by something on the side of the truck, but the covering was no longer there.
"Most people get it," he said of the menu description. "We're fun. We'd never condone anything like that."
