I ate at a (simulated) Anerican-style steakhouse in Paris called "Texas Indiana"...or was it "Indiana Texas"?

In any case I figured the "Indiana" part might be from the Indiana Jones movies? Or something?

The steak was...OK...but not great. Just the concept of the French trying to plumb the depths of the American steakhouse psyche was too funny to pass up.

Korean Grocery near my apartment:

Dong Bang.

Not wretched, but funny, in a I'm-in-middle-school, redneck-humor kinda way.

I'm sure Marsupialized will get it.

I had lunch today at Sushi-Q. Kind of a cute name. Good bento.

a place here in rav called "fu kim."

i like that one.

There’s a small, flat roofed, ground floor only café bar facing the sea front in Limassol, Cyprus called “LOFT”. I’m fairly confident that no sense of humour was involved when naming this place. I guess it must’ve sounded vaguely hip but, huh? You don’t have a first floor.

In Cyprus there are plenty of shops etc with absurdly garbled, blunt or just plain arbitrarily applied English names. I swear I once saw a shop called “Prison Fashions”.

“Kennedy Fried Chicken”, I think there were a few of these red and white mutant KFCs in North London. I always pictured a chicken president getting assassinated in a black limo and then coated in batter and dropped in oil.

So now I'm thinking about 'Every Picture Tells a Story Donut'.

I saw a Second City sketch where the restaurant was named R. J. McPicklefuckers. that had us laughing for 5 minutes straight. of course, I was a high school freshman or sophomore at that time...

The green grocer's round the corner from here is called The Veggie Table.

The vegetable.

when i lived in Sheffield, there was a vegetarian restaurant called Kumquat Mae that was just around the corner from my house.

that name always made me chuckle
