I dont know whats sadder, that they actually had to add the warning (like the coca cola opening ones) or that there are people stupid enough to think pouring hot coffe in your crotch is a good idea.
I blame the MTV's Jack a... generation.

I'd think that label is fake :D

You don't remember the story of the lady dropping it on her crotch and the lawsuit the followed?

Granted- the label is dumb. Why? Because of that lawsuit- McDonald's no longer serves their coffee at 180-190 degrees, but at 140-150 degrees- like almost every other establishment was already doing in the country. At the time of the suit- McDonalds had 700 burn cases over 10 years- most of which were 3rd degree. If the coffee was 150 or less- it wouldn't have done the damage it did. They knew their rules of being 180-190 could create massive burns- yet they did nothing, because they wanted the taste to be better at that temperature. McDonald's was the bad one in that story. Yes- Hot coffee will burn you if it spills. What it shouldn't do is melt your sweatpants to your crotch requiring skin grafts.

Poor old lady :(

Well, as far as the label being a fake.......I think the 'oolala' part might be a giveaway :)

did they shrink the size of Pizzaffarri to build Tiffins?
No, it may share resources, as so many other restaurants on property do, but from Steve's article linked in post #1 of this thread it sounds like it's on its own new space:

"The restaurant will be located at the rear of Pizzafari on Discovery Island, on a newly cleared piece of land. The area has been under construction for the last year, and is the un-named restaurant project that we originally uncovered back in November 2014."

I know the majority of it is new construction, but there was some implication that during the pizzafarri renovation that it could have been strunk a bit in the reconfiguration

wonder how the food quality is when they try to have the same staff do a high end restaurant and a middle tier quick service.

Well...pretty soon we won't have to worry about warnings....or cups at all. Didn't you know Starbucks is getting rid of their cups altogether? LOL

It is probably different staff in a shared kitchen.

Photo update as of Wednesday, Dec 23. Probably to facilitate a connection with Tiffins to the back of Pizzafari, these construction walls appeared inside the passage to the back dining room at Pizzafari (which is no longer available) and the back half of the dining room on the left. The dining room on the right is still fully open.

I've heard that the Martha Stewart Paint Store in the deep dark recesses of Africa still offers the full spectrum of colors that we have become accustomed to.

'Middle tier' is quite generous description based on the quality of the Pizzafari pizza. :eek:
(Though I've heard people say good things about their non-pizza offerings).

I'm sure some stuff works the same between a hopefully high end dining end establishment and a feed station (like dish & pan washing). And there's always the possibility that some Pizzafari items (like say, salads) may see a upgrade in quality if they end up sharing some sourcing.

I could be wrong but I have heard after the closer Pizzafari has opened with new non-frozen pizzas.
