Attempting to raise awareness for mental health, PsychoRiffic Subs in Quincy, Illinois, drew criticism for the sandwich names on its soon-to-be-changed menu.
A sandwich shop in Illinois drew criticism for some of the names of menu items that were intended to raise awareness about mental health, according to the owner.
The shop, Psycho Riffic Sandwiches, opened two weeks ago in Quincy, Illinois, the owner, David Schoengood, told McClatchy News. Soon after, the shop’s menu began to draw criticism online.
A local resident posted on Facebook on Aug. 1 that the menu “looks like a mockery of mental illness.”
Photos of the menu showed the words, “Live, Love, & Laugh” and “Mental Health Awareness” printed at the top. The menu included subs named “Psycho,” “Bipolar,” “Schitzo,” “Insomniac,” and “Altimers,” a reference to Alzheimer’s disease.
The most-criticized menu item — a three-foot-long party sub — was named “Anorexic,” in reference to Anorexia, an eating disorder “characterized by an abnormally low body weight, an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted perception of weight,” according to Mayo Clinic.
