Joe's Crab Shack serves up photo of 19th century lynching as fun-for-the-whole-family

A Joe's Crab Shack in Minneapolis is under fire after displaying an image of an 1895 Texas lynching on one of their tables.

The tables of the restaurant each appear to have been embedded with a historical photo. To add insult to injury, the image of the lynching also included a joke in the form of a bubble caption from the scaffold reading, "All I said was 'I don't like the gumbo.'"

Tyrone Williams and Chauntyll Allen, the two African-American patrons who discovered the photo during an early birthday dinner, didn't stay for the menu.

"Me and Chauntyll, we just felt sick and confused," Williams told CBS affiliate WCCO. "It was just sickening."

According to the pair, the restaurant was profusely apologetic, telling them they had never seen the photo before but suggested that the table manufacturer has probably sent others into distribution as well.

The NAACP is seeking a full apology from the restaurant chain's corporate headquarters, though it probably won't be enough for Williams.

"We will no longer be eating in any Joe's Crab Shack," he said in a press conference.
