"holy smokes" is a rib joint here in town. i think it's a chain. "holy chain smokes" woulda been an even better name, but i guess nobody wants anybody to know they're part of a chain.......smoking, restaurant, or otherwise.
another good name for a restaurant is "bill's." you just can't go wrong with a place like that. you know before you even walk in that you're gonna get the burger with everything and a bud light.
there's a restaurant right outside my window, and it is arguably the finest restaurant in columbus. it's owned by one of this city's premier chefs and it's called, simply enough, "M." i have never been there and i probably never will. i mean, it scares me, ok? "M" could stand for any number of things. i need more transparency than that, thank you.
but probably the very best name of all for a restaurant is "nancy's." there's a friendly neighborhood restaurant here in town with that name and they were in business for years and years and years and then they shut down because supposedly nobody wanted to eat greasy diner-style food anymore and then they opened back up because it turned out, everybody wanted to eat greasy diner-style food. and they had solidarity picketers and lots of friendly petitions to prove it, and so, after much hoopla and celebration and media coverage, nancy's is back in business.
the point is, nobody in their right mind would ever name a restaurant "N."
