How about what should be FT's favorite fast food chain in Amsterdam: FEBO! Proof it doesn't really matter where you sit... :D

There were some nice ones in Asia:

"Yu Khee Seafood" in Singapore.
"Ah Choo Noodle House" in Hong Kong.
"Mr. Thong from Bangkok" in Yokohama.

And a bar called "Wasted Time" in Tokyo's Shibuya District.

Plus, in northern New Jersey, a trophy shop run by a guy called Mr. Apo. It was called Apo's Trophies.

Already mentioned the FUK MI sushi in New Zeland? I wonder how they would answer the phone....

There used to be a restaurant on the highway just outside
Whitefish, Montana on the way north to Canada called
"La Dump". We actually ate there one time on the way back from Skiing at Big Mountain. It was pretty good!
Don't know if its still there or not-it was on the corner of the sideroad to the dump, I think. On the sign under the name it said "nip & nibble" and had a picture of a couple of crows picking on a pile of something!!

:p

We like "Hippopotame" or Hippopotamus en anglais. Actually this is a chain of French restaurants. We've also noticed at French cafes, there is a brand of coffee called "Choky." :D

At least when I was a kid (may no longer exist), at the northeast corner of IN-39 and US-20 north of LaPorte, IN (where I grew up), perhaps not unusual or funny, but efficiently concise:
Eat

A restaurant/gas station on US-31 just north of Kokomo, IN:
Eat Here
and
Get Gas
