There are a shit-million of them.

They are pretty good.

The shakes especially.

Why do virii and bacteria and all this stuff make people sick?
Why isn't there a Potbelly's in the virus world. You know, something that makes you better?

"Hey Larry, how you be runnin' so fast?"
"Man, I got a brutal case of the scroptocilus..."

Wasn't there a Red Dwarf episode dealing with just that? Am I a dork?

I was about to post this. Thank you.

I ride past this on the 15 every morning on the way to work.

Jesus. That's some Sambo's shit right there.

Maybe even slightly more offensive than the laundromats I have seen called "Washee Washee"...


OK - now before anyone else says it, here I go: Dude, how'zabout "Hated Chinee Takee Outee"?

One of my favorite real awful names I spotted while in South Korea:

'Donkey Fried Chicken'

One of my favorite fictitious (I'm guessing?) awful names:

"The other night
I was walking down the street
I was gettin' kinda hungry,
I decided to get me something to eat
Now I passed up all the chain franchise joints on hamburger row
And stopped at a little greasy spoon where I always eat at called 'EAT, SIT, & GO'
Get you one of those greasy hamburgers all peppered up
Lay you up in the hospital for ten days"

I really don't remember seeing to many wierdly named restaurants, but for posterities sake here's:

Wok Inn / Take Out

Wifesaver, In Augusta GA, They had, (Still have?) really good Fried Chicken

Food Doobies ( They made Rollup sandwiches before they became popular)

Ho Toy ( Where I experienced my first, and hopefully last case of MSG poisoning from a plate of Tangerine 'Beef')

Kooper's Kuntry Kitchen ( Morbid curiousity did NOT get the better of me )


Restaurants/stores that I would like to see:

Pho Nguc

Meanchey Khouchaputtata (Meanchey is Khmer for Store/Market)

Manson's Family Restaurant

Dahmer's Bistro

In Istanbul a couple of weeks ago, I ate at Can Restaurant.

I also took a picture of Can Restaurant, and will probably post it soon.

I'm not sure if this means you should eat before going there, or is it Eat First...then shit yourself, projectile vomiting ensues, what??? I haven't been able to bring myself to try it out, yet.

Actually, the brilliance of this place is that it is called "Eat First #2"

I might screw this up, but I think that there is a place called Magic Burger Donut in San Francisco. From what I recall it has, "Open 25 hours" painted on the wall, or perhaps the sign. It's been a while, and I couldn't find it on Google.




Sher-a-punjab


There are a slew of jerk restaurants that could be taken the wrong way:

Uncle Joe's Jerk
Jerk Supreme
Daddy O Jerkpit

In Jamaica:
Ocho Rios Village Jerk Center
Nine Two Five Jerk (phone number is 925-Jerk)
Uncle B’s Miracle Jerk Center
