Merry Wives Cafe

An offshoot of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of The Later Day Saints has opened a cafe in rural Utah. I just want to say, people should be allowed to worship ans associate in this great country of ours as they see fit. I do not care how many wives or husbands you want to have. As long as every body is over eighteen do as you will and commit no harm. Just leave the children alone. No sex with kids is that too much to ask. I think not.

Any way Slashfood has a article about the Merry Wives Cafe.

here's only one sit-down restaurant on the 55-mile stretch of highway between Fredonia, Ariz. and Hurricane, Utah, and it ain't a Denny's. The Merry Wives Cafe in Hilldale, Utah is owned by a local polygamist group which runs the restaurant with a sense of humor and an eye towards curiosity-seeking tourists.

The group, who call themselves The Work of Jesus Christ, are an offshoot of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (who are condemned by mainstream American Mormons). The owners of Merry Wives hope to dispel myths about polygamy - they claim not to engage in underage marriage, welfare fraud or child labor.

Giggling travelers and local mega-families eat bacon cheeseburgers side-by-side at the cafe - the restaurant has even had to shut down when a family of 50 has taken over. Some guests leave phone numbers tucked under salt shakers, in case a wife wants to escape polygamy. Some get up and leave, horrified, when they realize just where they're eating
