Grimes and her family's Hugh Jass Burgers
CNN ^ | October 20, 2014 | Chris Frates and Scott Zamost

(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.

Grimes is stupid, like that guy who runs that furniture store “Sofa King”. So I guess you could say she’s “Sofa King” stupid.

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...

To top it all they used a picture of Alison Grimes herself as the mascot.

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.

She has a subsidiary called “Half-Vast Burgers”.

That’s where she sells the Hugh Jass rejects.

Agree with you. Somebody in the family knows how to bring in customers. Maybe it’s just Texas style humor.

Why should elected politicians have body guards? It’s not in the constitution.
