Airport Restaurant Trolls NYT's David Brooks with $78 Meal Deal

New York Times columnist David Brooks complained about being charged $78 for a burger and fries at a restaurant in Newark Airport, but failed to mention that the majority of the bill came from alcoholic drinks. The restaurant, 1911 Smoke House, clarified that 80% of the tab was from multiple shots of whisky. In response, the restaurant has now introduced the "D Brooks Special" meal deal, offering a burger, fries, and a double shot of whiskey for $17.78, the original price of the food. The restaurant capitalized on the viral moment and plans to permanently include the deal on their menu. Brooks admitted his tweet was insensitive and apologized for his mistake.
