WASHINGTON - The owner of the Red Hen, the bistro in Lexington, Virginia, that drew global attention last year after asking then-White House press secretary Sarah Sanders to leave, this week said she might do the same thing again if Sanders returned.

You can leave fake reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor. My reviews usually are positive except for the diarrhea part.

Or email them: comments@redhenlex.com and (540) 460-0600

reservations require you to leave a credit card deposit. Call ‘em and ask why?

But, yet, you better bake that damn cake.

So if I go in there and order a big dinner; and right after my food arrives, I take out a nice red MAGA hat and put it on, what do you think they would do?

Trump decides who sits at the Supreme Court
Democrats decide who sits at the Red Hen

hmmmmmm....go there as a walk in (ie no credit card)...take 20 min looking at the menu ....then put on the MAGA hat...refuse to order anything...see how long it takes them to ask you to leave.

Red Hen Sweet Tea and baked potatoes have been thought to be contaminated with E.Coli

Why such a story now?

I guess their business must be down and they need attention again.

I wouldn’t doubt places like the Red Hen are ‘gifted’ money by the likes of Soros or his minions. While the rest of the town’s business people suffer.

Bring along several very large friends, preferably ones with a flatulence problem, who are prone to loud exclamations, rebel yells and rowdy behavior.

It would be wrong for any Freeper to suggest that their phone line be swamped with calls asking “is your refrigerator running?”

“So if I go in there and order a big dinner; and right after my food arrives, I take out a nice red MAGA hat and put it on, what do you think they would do?”

Now, that’s a brilliant idea.

I don’t think the owner of the Red Hen has to worry about Sarah Sanders appearing at her restaurant ever again.

I suspect the quality of the food, for anyone identified or suspected of being ‘MAGA’, would be a lot worse (and dangerous) due to “additives” than any lack of hospitality.

In the old days here on FR, a FReep had true meaning and true activist. Good times.

540-464-4401 *might* be an alternate number. (I don’t know) will try later when they are open.

Amazing that you can refuse service to Sarah Sanders and suffer no sanction but God help you if you refuse service to, say, a couple of lesbians...

[Drango]

Bake my cake and wax my balls.

Probably the same as an NBA star who refuses to criticize a communist regime because he gets money from them!

I like the way you think...:)

Bring Mr. Creosote to the Red Hen.
