What kind of place would it be and what would you call it?

I would call mine "Chad's Chicken Chamber" and have the whole restaurant shaped like a giant chicken. We would serve fried chicken, BBQed chicken, roasted chickens, chicken fingers, chicken nuggets, eggs (since they come from chickens), chicken soup, and other forms of delightful chicken dishes. Movies like "Chicken Little" and "Rock-A-Doodle" will be shown all day, and at night we'll have chicken fights held out back and place bets. Our waiters will also dress like chickens.

Great question! I've never really thought much about it before 'cause there's no way I could work near food service, but:

I love those '50's dives where you drove up to a box, ordered your food, and the "waitress" skated out to you, etc. So maybe something along those lines...I guss I could call it like "Retro" or "The Good Days." Not very original, though, I'm afraid.

Me and a friend we joking around about this idea for a rock/metal themed resturant,and we were coming up with all kinds of names for food items and stuff and like name them after rock bands or groups, personalities, like for example : Motley Stew, David Lee Broth, Fleetwood Mac and Cheese, Judas Feast, Korn on the cob, and countless others

My restaurant would be called MexItaliano, and obviously, I would sell my two favorites, Mexican, and Italian food. The place would have sound proof booths, so a guy and girl could go there for a nice romantic time, without having to listen to a bunch of drunken loud mouths, and screaming kids. It would totally revolutionize the restaurant industry!!

Oh, and all my S.O. friends would have a lifetime pass to eat there for free!!

I'd do the same thing! We used to have a place around here called Johnny Rockets that was along the same lines, but it got closed down

I think places like that are so cool and fun to have.

Anyways, my place would be pretty standard of a 50's dive--you could order hamburgers/cheeseburgers, fries, onion rings, chicken fingers/sandwiches, shakes, sodas, ice cream, etc. I'd like to have the option of having a waitress come out to you on skates (say if you wanted to be lazy and eat in your car), or you could go inside to one of the booths with jukeboxes

Hrmm, as to what to call it? Umm, 'Happy Days'

I would call mine: "The Alchohol, Tobacco and Firearms Bar and Grill."

At each entrance and exit, there would be two trained guard-pigs. Recent studies show guard-pigs reduce the odds of a terrorist attack by 1200%.

The menu would be simple: Meat in all the colors of the rainbow, every legal tobacco product known to man and any kind of hard or soft liquor you can imagine.

Steak, chicken, turkey, lamb, pork, aligator, shark, snake, camel... Just about any kind of meat there is. The motto of my restaurant will be "If you can kill it, we grill it."

No non-meat food products will be allowed. This will be a strictly meatatarian restaurant. Get caught with a vegetable of any kind and we'll kick you out.

Smoking would be encouraged, second-hand smoking more so.

The house drink will be the Napalm Canister. A 16oz mug of raw 180-proof ethyl-alcohol with some bright red food coloring and a drop of unleaded gasoline. Any unfinished mugs will be set on fire and allowed to burn themselves out.

A collection of recently captured Al-Qaeda, Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists in cages will be kept in one corner of the restaurant. For a small fee patrons will be allowed to antagonize them with the guard-pigs, shock them with cattle-prods and spray them with paintball guns. The guy in the black suit in the corner is from the CIA, he's taking notes in case they say anything.

The open carrying of firearms will be encouraged, both short-arm and long-arm. An indoor shooting range will also be provided. Anyone who can manage a three-inch fifty-yard ten shot group after consuming an entire Napalm Canister will get their meal, drinks, ammo and fees on the house.

The restaurant will be located in the middle of a highly-valued rainforest. No less than one hundred acres will be leveled in the process of construction... preferably by carpet bombing.

Sounds pretty good.

I would like to make a reservation for Friday night at 7:00 PM.

Myself, I would pick one of two...
- 1950s style restaurant. I really love the '50s style restaurants (and everything else '50s) with the stainless steel counters and bright colors.

- A "Hallowed Haunting Grounds"-type restaurant. Yes, Halloween somehow got into my post. It would be traditional American restaurant with a Halloween theme and spooky figures like below to spook the customers.

Already Gone · 12-05-2006, 06:24 PM

I would call mine A Garden Place. It would have two sun rooms. One would be for fall and winter that would be heated and large thermal windows. Another for Spring and Summer -- A screened sunroom or maybe outside dining. The restaurant would be side in the middle of a huge garden, there would be alot of trees around too.

We'd serve Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. I'd have menus for each. I'd also have a vegetarian menu.

Kay Scarpetta · 12-05-2006, 07:15 PM

Mine would be called "The Cedar Tree Cafe" and it would be a Lebanese cuisine.

thats i very novel idea for a resturant even though i really dont care for that type of music i would proably drop in just to check it out

Yooch · 12-05-2006, 09:25 PM

I would have a small diner, like one of those stainless steel railroad car-type deals. Clean and well-lit inside with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It would be open 24/7, and have the freshest, best coffee in town. It would be called something like, 'Gino's Diner'--with friendly, competent waitresses. I would have reasonable prices for great food, fresh and delicious--mostly standard American fare, like the best burgers in town--or fresh fish n' chips. I would also have a few specialties, like southern fried chicken--and a couple of Italian standards like homemade spaghetti and meatballs, and spaghetti aglio e olio (spaghetti with garlic and olive oil sauce). For breakfast, I'd offer grits and hush puppies as side dishes, not just hash browns.

I love the name of your restaurant; it's like the Lebanese flag. That's what I think of.

Oh yeah, good point. For SO members, there's no charge. It's on the house!
