I was thinking about this, I would like to go to a restaurant called "The Bone and The Marrow." Gosh, I love meat on the bone and sucking the bone marrow out of a lamb shank is like heaven.
Anyway, what are the best real and imagined restaurant names?
-
I don't know that I've ever had a good restaurant name, but I do know that if I had a restaurant, it's tag line/slogan, printed at the bottom of the menu and appearing in all advertising, would be "Eat food (it's good)."
"The Trough" would be a good name. George Carlin once proposed a restaurant especially for bulimics, to be called either "The Scarf 'n' Barf" or "The Fork and Bucket."
-
There was a place in Walnut Creek who's name escapes me at the moment - really good hamburgers though - which was memorable for a gigantic mural of a bald, muscular short order cook snarling, "You'll eat it, and you'll like it!" It was on Main Street a short walk from where I worked a summer job and I'd go in there a few days a week. Don't know if its still there. Maybe Google Street View will help..
Nope, it's a pub now. The SuperCuts where I had the summer job is still there though.
-
There is a Chinese place in DC called Full Yum.
-
I am really ups because my favorite STL place changed their name from "John Donut" to "John's Donuts."
Also a big fan of U City Grill and Hoagie City Diner. Which are both Korean restaurants.
-
theres a cutie-assed home cookins place up the street here called The Special Place. kinda charming, yet yawn-y.
-
Early on in our relationship, hubby and I went on a date to a pub/restaurant called The Cock and Muscle. I know it closed years ago, but I just googled my city and the restaurant name out of nostalgia, and all I got was a bunch of personal ads for gay sex.
-
I was pipe dreaming about hitting the lotto and thought up the name Revel for a high-end southern food restaurant. House-made charcuterie, super-crispy fried chicken, biscuits, desserts, and all that jazz. So then I googled it and of course there are already restaurants and resorts with that name.

Did you mean The Cock and Mussel? Because I would not expect to walk into a place called The Cock and Muscle and not see at least one dude showing off one or the other.
Wienerschnitzel restaurants are built on a foundation of lies and deceit.

Cock and Mussel?
Cock and Mussel?
Not alive, oh, not alive?
-
Ah yes, I stand corrected: Cock and Mussel Pub comes up with only one sad search result related to the old place, and none of the fun gay sex personals.
A popular place to go round here is Baked Expectations - a huge double case of cakes, cheese cakes and other baked goods provides serious food porn for diners.
-
There is a place here that people love called Blood and Sand and I can't stop imagining that it is a corny pirate-themed place.
-
I think Baked & Wired has way a better product than Georgetown Cupcake in addition to the better name.
There's a chicken place near me called Pio Pio (spanish for "tweet tweet"). It makes me want to open a steakhouse called Moo.

FǛD

I was going to say "That's been done" and link to this:

But upon googling I see it's an actual restaurant in Kansas City, so I'm guessing you've been there, or at least were aware of it.

I thought it was a Simpsons gag.

It makes me want to take a flamethrower to the building.

We've got a place called Fude (http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fude.ca%2F&ei=W2ZaUN6RA8LCyQHR64HQDw&usg=AFQjCNGYoIIzWOg0gUXG9uoePAP6EjTVgQ)here. It's sort of "meh." My hubby's old roommate who wanted to be a chef used to work there, which... knowing his lack of interest in hygiene... made me much less inspired to eat there. That was a decade ago now though, and the place is still there, so I suppose that says something.

Wow, but, chickens don't say tweet tweet!
