Flag stunt results in publicity flap

One week from now, the doors will open on a new restaurant in downtown Hamilton that is already the talk of the town.

But thousands of their potential customers are outraged, and say they will never set foot inside the establishment. Yet the owners don’t seem to mind. Scot Urquhart is outside the new King Street eatery with an explanation of why.
