Lion Burgers. They're Grrrrross! — MidWeek Blues — Things to know

Photo via Tristan from
Tree Hugger, Restaurant offers Lion Burgers

'Il Vinaio' Restaurant in 270 W. Main St., Mesa, Arizona (link) offers these.

They are not made from lion meat but and do cost about $21.00. That includes chips and a side of corn.

You can add a Diet Coke for another $3.00 or so I am sure.

I appreciate your comments very much. Since we are on holiday please expect only limited return of those comments.
Please do comment as they are like letters from home to us!

If you want to post a MidWeek Blues picture, go get directions from Rebecca by clicking on the logo picture on the right. She has a Mr. Linky and good directions . Just do what I did.
Or do less. All she requires is a BLUE PICTURE or THOUGHT, you don't have to write.

    Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)

  6. I had to come back Jim after clicking on the link. The article says it IS lion meat. It has elicited strong reactions from the public, but the restaurant owner insists it's no big deal to chow down on the big cats because they were farm-raised in Illinois.
    Now I really have the mid-week blues. :)

  7. I heard about this on our nightly news tonight here in Phoenix. Evidently they have gotten such negative publicity over this they offered a donation to a local pet shelter, who turned them down!

  9. farm raised lions!!
    used for burgers

    every time I think people can't possibly get any lower, they do

    I'd like to leave the lion and the restaurant owner alone together in a very small room
