Okay, I have seen the original article.

I gather.... they looked across the street and saw the Roger Miller
Restaurant, which advertises "AFRICAN FOOD" in large letters.  Roger
Miller is a soccer player from Cameroon.  So they walked across the
street to the restaurant.

Doing, this, they were berated for using the Mandalay parking lot
and going to another restaurant.  If, as they say, the Mandalay was
very crowded at the time, that seems appropriate.

So, they got back in their car and went to Negril, which is a totally
different place and not related either to the place they saw across
the street, or to African food.  And none of them have anything to do
with Ethiopia (although if I recall right, the Negril _does_ have a 
picture of Haille Selassie hanging on the wall).
