Opinion
Is the name funny or sexist? What do you think?
Apart from the jokes, the writer feels the name is also sexist. It's high time people stop assuming that a wife's (first or second) primary work is to cook. However, we do believe the owners had no intention of hurting anyone's sentiments. Also, not everything meant as a joke should be taken seriously. What do you think? Let us know in comments.
