signage - What is the difference between ‘Hot Corned Beef’ and ‘"Hot" Corned Beef’?
I have seen the phrase '"Hot" Corned Beef' on several convenience store signs in my area. Since corned beef is is usually served warm or hot, am I missing part of the meaning of the sign?
Answer
It is really a shot in the dark, but your area wouldn't be related with "Broadway" by any chance?
For instance, this blog post describes a restaurant called "Eat on Broadway" (on Broadway avenue, but not at all in New-York), with a sign including:
"HOT" CORNED BEEF
That could be a reference to their specialty, as in:
What's "Hot" on Broadway?
