A popular NYC bar finally changes the name of its infamous “Ladies’ Burger” (via EaterNY)
ever since Cecchini and Tompkins took over the retro-era restaurant and bar back in 2013. Former manager Al Rodriguez, who worked at Long Island Bar for close to seven years and left the restaurant shortly after speaking with Eater, says that customers also occasionally left behind notes on napkins and receipts commenting on the burger’s name, saying that it was offensive.
Despite the name’s obvious and sexist suggestions that “ladies” must demurely ask for less food, Rodriguez insisted that the burger’s name was instead a reference to the bar’s history, a nod to Emma Sullivan and her cousins Pepita and Maruja, the three women who opened the bar back in 1951.
When Eater asked if the gendered labeling occurred to the restaurant’s management team, Rodriguez admitted that “the ladies’ burger was originally a smaller burger meant for women who might eat less.”
