Salty Wordplay from a Politician's Family

If I lived in Kentucky I'd vote for Mitch McConnell but I've got to give props to his opponent Alison Lundergan Grimes' family for the use of outrageous off-color wordplay at the family restaurant, Hugh Jass Burgers - say it aloud to get the pun. A story on the CNN website indicates the following smart-alecky menu wordage:
"Charlotte's Rack, sure to be voted biggest rack" named after Grimes' mom and "Abby's Hugh Jass," a burger named after her sister. They also sell souvenirs like an apron with "Check Out My Buns" emblazoned across it.
Sounds like a fun place but a probable political liability, like trying to run for office when your dad owns a topless joint. Few of the pious vote Democrat anyway, so maybe a non-issue.
