Deli Owner Under Fire for "Send-Her-Back" Special!

An East Bay deli owner made a controversial Facebook post.

On his personal Facebook page,John Canesa of Canesa's Brooklyn Heros deli in Clayton wrote:

"Meatballs made with beef today in case we offend any of our overly sensitive pork haters!! Free side when you say send her back! #canesasbrooklynheros."
Some denounce the post, writing bad reviews about the deli on Yelp and commenting on social media, including the foreign-born mayor of Clayton, Tuija Catalano.

Customers were shocked to see their loved deli, which is normally open on Saturdays, was closed. There was no sign explaining why, but people in the area suspect it had to do with Canesa's Facebook post.
