Can you discern the establishment's actual rules from the ones that we just made up?
Recently, a photograph started circulating of an extensive, controversial dress code policy posted at the entrance of Short North Food Hall, and the social media response toward the business has been… not great! But can you guess which of the following were crafted by the establishment and which we just made up? (Calls and an email to Short North Food Hall were not immediately returned.)
