A Palatine bar that planned to offer a Build-A-Wall burger adorned with Mexican condiments has walked back on the special after receiving criticism from some saying it was offensivethough not everyone agrees.
A Facebook post on Durty Nellies Facebook page shows a kitten with the words I am sorry!!! I am sorry!!! I am very sorry!!!
Durty Nellies is extremely sorry for posting something that was so upsetting to so many people, the establishment says in the post. It was our lame attempt at humor and an attempt to put a little levity in such trying times that severely backfired. It was not the intent of Durty Nellie's to offend anyone or show any malice. Durty Nellie's prides itself on a fun atmosphere and we took it a little too far. We will not be supporting such behavior and will leave all attempts at comedy to the professionals in the future.
A screengrab of the original offer, which was deleted, three silhouettes depicting President Donald trump filled with brick walls. Stack as many 40 oz. Angus patties as you want between a brioche bun, it reads. The ingredients were to include homemade mole, tortilla strips, Chihuahua cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole and jalapeno peppers.
