More possible fallout from this weekend's 4/20 festivities: An employee at the faux-shabby Joe's Crab Shack found three garbage bags filled with marijuana in a dumpster behind the seafood chain's Fisherman's Wharf location.
According to SFPD, the bags contained "maybe 50 pounds" of unwanted kind bud. The investigation is still underway, so police don't have any additional information on where the weed might have come from or if it could possibly have any connection to the nationwide seafood chain. A quick search of the location's Yelp page produced 24 reviews claiming the service was "a bit slow," "definitely super slow" and "so slow it almost move backward in time." But all that is probably unrelated to the huge stash found in the dumpster.
Although we here at SFist have yet to sample the food at this particular Joe's Crab Shack location, we did once dine on their crab legs — famously served in a tin bucket to add that certain je ne sais quoi of downhome trashiness — during a regrettable meal in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We cannot recommend them.
When they're not taking forever with your crab bucket, the staff are also known for occasionally bursting into dance:
