    These Joe's Crab Shack Diners Were Appalled By the Photo on Their Table

    A couple of Minnesotans set out for Joe's Crab Shack on Wednesday night, just looking for some palatable chain seafood. What they got when they sat down at Joe's Roseville outpost, The Daily News reports, was a photo placed between the table surface and the glass overlay that appeared to depict a lynching.

    The image, which seems to show lots of of white people gathered around an elevated gallows in an Old West setting, was labeled "Hanging at Groesbeck, Texas on April 12th 1895." A speech bubble coming from the black man at the gallows reads, "All I said was 'I don't like the gumbo!'"
