This blackboard menu comes from the restaurant ‘La Belle Équipe’. On this familiar piece of Parisian street furniture, one can see numerous bullet holes from a Kalashnikov, an automatic assault rifle.

The reference to ‘Happy Hours’ contrasts with the sudden brutality of an attack carried out with military-grade weapons.
