In reference to the sign, my only guess is that a "Yankee" might walk in not wanting to get his hands dirty (by picking up the ribs), or might order a salad for lunch. I could be totally wrong, but that is my first thought.

Call me 'Yankee' I loved it. I recall an old saying, "When you judge me you define yourself."
