The owner of an Italian restaurant in New Mexico says he’s seen a surge in business after posting a billboard that featured a food-centric pun playing off the Black Lives Matter slogan.

Rick Camuglia, owner of Paisano’s in Albuquerque, posted what he thought would be a well-received joke on the marquee sign in front of his restaurant last week. It read:

"BLACK OLIVES MATTER — TRY OUR TAPENADE."

My mother used them in bunch of things. Almost always salad.

Definitely in antipasto.

I'm sure there's no shortage of good Italian in NYC... come here for New Mexican food. Or our perpetual favorite, the green chile cheese burger.

Well, everything in New Mexico will be new and different to someone from Staten Island. You can actually play with guns here, the food's great, the views amazing.

This is about an hour and a half drive from Albuqerque.

That’s in America?!?! Looks beautiful.

My pop, who died when I was 15, was a GREAT guy but he wouldn’t have left 10 square block in Brooklyn his whole life if my mother didn’t make him move.

I’m afraid I am a little like that, but at 48, it’s certainly not too late.

That looks BEAUTIFUL!!

That’s the Valles Caldera, a huge extinct volcano cone. It was part of a land grant owned by the Baca family for many, many years. It was purchased a couple years back as a preserve. It is 10 miles on a side, near the Jemez Mountains.

It’s gorgeous. The south and mid west must be gorgeous.

I only see it from the sky on the way to Vegas.

Too old for that #### now.

Want to see the country.

Someone here posted this when the story first broke. I spent 10 minutes cleaning up my keyboard and monitor.

I love New Mexico. Stayed in Red River in a cabin for a week at 10k ft. Lots of elk and mulies running through. Read Atlas shrugged in 4 days looking up every now and again at The Bull of the Woods mtn.

That looks so delicious! We haven’t been in those parts in at least 10 years.. Around the time we found the Heart Attack Grill in Arizona.

Yes. During the Vietnam War we called it "The footprint of a chicken."

BLACK OLIVES DO MATTER! When I order a pizza with Canadian Bacon, BLACK OLIVES and MUSHROOMS, I am very hacked if I don’t see some BLACK OLIVES on it!
