(CNN) -- In her race to defeat Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, Alison Lundergan Grimes has barnstormed Kentucky, talking up her support for raising the minimum wage and criticizing the GOP's so-called war on women.
But the restaurant owned by Grimes' family doesn't always practice what she preaches, and Kentucky Republicans have been happy to point that out.
....
But minimum wage isn't the only issue dogging Grimes' family business. Hugh Jass Burgers -- say it out loud to get the joke -- has menu items like "Charlotte's Rack, sure to be voted biggest rack" named after Grimes' mom and "Abby's Hugh Jass," a burger named after her sister. They also sell souvenirs like an apron with "Check Out My Buns" emblazoned across it.
The restaurant's approach has raised eyebrows, especially since Grimes' camp accused the GOP of sexism.
"I am the Kentucky woman who my Republican colleagues in this state so gentlemanly refer to as an empty dress," Grimes said.
When we tried to ask Grimes about her family's use of double entendre, she refused to answer, letting her security detail lead her away from reporters.

Mr. Jass was unavailable for comment.
She’s a loser, First Class!
Grimes is stupid, like that guy who runs that furniture store “Sofa King”. So I guess you could say she’s “Sofa King” stupid.

Here.
War On Women, anybody?
When we tried to ask Grimes about her family’s use of double entendre, she refused to answer .....
She refused to answer? She cannot even seem to remember who she voted for president. She thinks she can run for the senate and not answer questions? Geeezzzzz...
Well, maybe she won’t admit she voted for Obama, but her family has named their restaurant after Moochelle’s biggest asset...
The video of the news report at the link shows actual shots of the menu and her getting away from the reporters.
Do they pay burger flippers $15 an hour?
Hugh Jass Burgers and Abby’s Hugh Jass.
How do we know they are not talking about Michelle Obolo? I think maybe we are looking at somethin racist here.
My beeber is stuned!
She has a subsidiary called “Half-Vast Burgers”.
That’s where she sells the Hugh Jass rejects.
She may be a loser but her family has a hilarious sense of humor!
I love double entandre names, mine is Isabell Ringing. :) I may name my husband Hugh Jazz..... even though he doesn’t have one.
She may be a loser but her family has a hilarious sense of humor!”
Agree with you. Somebody in the family knows how to bring in customers. Maybe it’s just Texas style humor.
Hey, Ali, here’s a little play on words you might want to put on the menu: cupid stunt. (That would be you.)
Why should elected politicians have body guards? It’s not in the constitution.
