The branding is working and made for a great lede: “For a short amount of time, Westerville will not have the meats.”
Lede?
From Mirriam-Webster: “In journalism, the lede refers to the introductory section of a news story that is intended to entice the reader to read the full story.”
The title was great but the lede was equally great
Meet the new meats boss, same as the old meats boss.
Just read this as "Columbus-era Arby's" and was thoroughly confused...
They used to have the meats. They still do, just more of them.
I will visit with a larger appetite.
You can already get the meat mountain if your appetite is large. I did two years ago because I make poor life choices. It was 20 bucks and includes all their non-fish meats. Be sure to tell them to heat the meats up because all the meats includes the coldcuts and the hot-cold mix is not a great experience.
“Hello. Please heats the meats.”
I misread that as "Columbus-era" and was all hot'n'ready to start something in the comments.
