Wilmington Restaurant Makes Popular Website For Awkward Photos

WILMINGTON, MA -- Awkward Family Photos, the popular Website that has spun off books and built a loyal following by posting funny photos, featured a Wilmington restaurant this week. Rocco's on Main Street was called out for signs that used the wrong form of "too," that word that perplexes grammatically-challenged English speakers.

The side-by-side photos show the restaurant advertising its services by saying "TO HOT TO COOK LET US COOK FOR YOU," as well as a correction that missed the mark. The photos were presumably from last summer and well before this week's cold snap.

"A friend of mine called a restaurant about a spelling mistake on their sign. And they changed it," the anonymous Awkward Family Photos reader who submitted the photo said. The post on the site's Facebook page drew more than 200 comments, including "This makes the baby Jebus cry" and "He'll have to call too times."
