If you've ever seen the "Menu" category of Engrish.com, the "Stuff White People Like" post on menu typos or any of their peers in the vast universe of online writing dedicated to broadcasting poorly proofread menus, you already know that misspelled food words can be pretty hilarious.

No longer! The search bar on online food delivery service GrubHub forces users to show their cards.
