Easily the worst restaurant name I've seen personally belonged to a seafood joint in Elk Grove, IL called The Rusty Pelican.

Needless to say, it's gone now. Never tried it & with that name, wasn't about to.

There are many awesome food-related puns in this thread, but the above is probably my favourite.

In Glasgow there is also a 'Thai Me Up'

At Glastonbury last year there was a Chinese food stall called 'Wok The Phuk'. Two puns for the price of one!

There's a kebab shop somewhere in the UK called 'Kebabadabbadoo'. It doesn't matter where, and I haven't seen it. I just know that it exists.

In Waterloo, there is the Fishcotheque. Disappointingly the food there is substandard crap. Fish and chips done well is awesome. Fishcotheque does not do fish and chips well. One of my friends had his 21st birthday party in this restaurant.

I would not eat at a restaurant called 'Botulism'

I'm 99.99% sure I've seen a custard stand called Custard's Last Stand...but I can't remember when or where.

Fishcotheque is waaay scary. But it's 'prolly better than fish and chips in the US.

I've yet to find fish and chips done properly in the US. There's a place in NYC's East Village that's pretty close...and overpriced by a factor of 2.

Not a restaurant but there is a butchers near where i live owned by a C Manson.

The sign above the shop reads 'C. Manson - Family Butcher'

I kid you not.

That's pretty bad! Or good! You know what I mean...

I should have mentioned the name of the fish and chips shop in NYC.

A Salt and Battery

Apparently the East Village branch has closed.

Hmm, maybe 7 posts ago?

There used to be a resturant in London called Chicago Meat Packers. Great innuendo.

Does anyone remember this place? It closed right? I think I went there a couple of times between '90-93?

Maybe I am reading this wrong...but it sounds like they were both speaking about hypothetical places. I piped up to say I've seen a real one out there...somewhere...
