Influencer couple are roasted for their new restaurant’s bizarre menu – including a ‘large short black’ and meals named after family members
An influencer couple have been trolled on social media over their new restaurant’s takeaway menu, which features bizarre items such as a ‘large short black’.
Chloe Szepanowski and Mitch Orval, who have been accused of spreading Covid-19 conspiracies in the past, recently bought a shopfront at Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast and are preparing to open a seafood restaurant called The Shack Take-Away.
The pair last week shared a photo on Instagram of the menu printed on a large sign.

But it didn’t take long for their followers to notice the sign contained a litany of grammatical errors and several bizarrely named items.
While Chloe and Mitch have since disabled comments on the post, fans flocked to Instagram watchdog account Aussie Influencer Opinions to share their thoughts.
Among the many blunders was the inclusion of a ‘large short black’ – a drink that does not exist.

A short black, or espresso, is made by pushing hot, pressurised water through finely ground coffee, producing a dense, strong and slightly bitter drink about 30ml in volume.
No extra hot water is added, otherwise it becomes a long black or Americano. By definition, it is impossible to make a ‘large’ short black.
Bizarrely, Chloe and Mitch’s menu also separately advertises espressos, even though the term ‘espresso’ is interchangeable with ‘short black’.
Eagle-eyed fans also noticed the restaurant’s ‘alternative milks’ were listed with the incorrect price denomination ‘$0.8c’.

‘On’ almond milk? Other errors included unnecessarily capitalised words, the word ‘or’ misspelled as ‘on’, and the use of confusing terms such as ‘alternative drinks’
Presumably Chloe and Mitch meant to write ’80¢’, or alternatively ‘$0.80’.

The menu also incorrectly used the word ‘ice’ instead of ‘iced’ when referring to cold coffees.
To make matters worse, Chloe and Mitch were ridiculed for naming menu items after members of their own family and friendship circle, including the ‘Kate Szep Protein Pack’, which was named after Chloe’s influencer sister Kate Szepanowski.

Chloe and Mitch have come under fire recently for promoting misinformation about health on social media.
The couple have posted anti-lockdown content on their Instagram pages despite a lack of medical qualifications, and also follow anti-vax accounts.
Chloe, who regularly spruiks wellness products like ‘immunity shots’ and mushroom ‘hot chocolate’ online, last year lost more than 6,000 followers on Instagram after sharing a post supporting anti-lockdown protests.
What does it mean? Fans were confused about the use of the term ‘alternative’
