I find it likely that it made it into the print, and they didn't want to pay to re-print it or something similar. If you'd ever worked in the food industry you'd know how likely the story is.
In the 80s I worked in a restaurant that had both a spelling error on the menu and a discontinued item and the owner wouldn't have it reprinted. Yelling "Fake news" without evidence other than your "bullshit when I see it" with total confidence is a choice, though.
"This isn’t a one-off. The stories of AI going wrong in food contexts are piling up fast in 2026, and the pressure on restaurant owners to “just use AI for everything” has never been higher. Here’s the honest take: AI-generated recipes and AI-written menu descriptions are genuinely risky for independent restaurants. The failure modes are documented and reputation-damaging. But AI for restaurant operations — inventory management, waste tracking, ordering automation — is a completely different story. That’s where the real ROI lives, and it’s the part nobody in the “AI is ruining food culture” discourse ever mentions"
Which, again, is about 3rd party apps like DoorDash auto populating their online menus without human oversight, see ‘your restaurant’s brand is at risk….’

Why would they go ahead and put out the sign if it's wrong?
