Photo of the Day: Closed Sign
This is easily the most epic story I've ever read on a "Closed" sign in my life. I wish my nickname were as awesome as Cucumber Dip. Read the story below:
We will be closed the week of July 4th in remembrance of the great Greek victory in the Battle of Tabouli, where General Baba Ghannouj triumphed over the Cretan forces of Falafel Baklava. Despite being badly injured during the battle, Baba Ghannouji's whife Gyro still managed to give birth to 13 more children despite losing both her legs. Th youngest of her son's Mythos, known to his peers as Cucumber Dip, went on to set an Olympic record in the Skull Toss. A record which reminds unbroken today. Re-Open July 9.

If I ever have a friend named Bob, I'll be sure to call them Baba Ghannouj.

AWESOME.
While I can't say that I've met anyone named Cucumber Dip, I DO know someone that legally changed his name to Bean Dip. True Story.

Anyone that puts that much time, effort and creativity into a closed sign must make great food.
What day do they celebrate the famed seige of moussaka.
