Poll question: Most nonsensical pseudo-ethnic restaurant chain name?

1. Re: Taco Bell - the founder's last name was "Bell"

So at least there's a reason for it.

9. OK he gets a pass

with a respected Mexican surname like "Bell" who could argue?

[Nye Bevan]

18. I can't argue.

Just as the "Meximelt" is a very traditional, genuine, authentic Mexican dish.

3. The Magic Wok n/t

4. Mesopotamian California cuisine

Saw it on my trip to San Francisco.Gimme a break!

5. Cucina Cucina

Italian for "Kitchen kitchen."

I've been told that in Spanish it sounds like something else, forget what they said though.

6. Inspired by Little Caesar's Pizza Pizza

7. Sambos

They even had orange butter. The food was okay but that name, well, it kind of doomed them when they tried to go national. There is still one left in Santa Barbara.

8. Fudruckers.

The name sounds like some sort of obscure sexual act or behavior ("SBM, enjoys movies, classical music, massages and Fudrucking").

Bugaboo Creek is another one. Sounds like the name of a county someone would visit if they were into the movie "Deliverance".

12. Well, it's weird.

Don't know if it's "nonsensical pseudo-ethnic" though.

But the burgers are pretty good.

19. Neither did I.

"Don't know if it's "nonsensical pseudo-ethnic" though."

But as long as Olive Garden, Pizza Hut, IHOP and Outback Steakhouse pass muster I figured what the hell. :shrug:

15. god that would fucking rock

on the other side of roosevelt and austin blvd on the chicago/cicero border, there is a store called "fo' shizzle: i got 99 problems store."

i believe it is a low-rent dollar store (if there could be such a thing)
