A restaurant in TLV called "CoffeeBar", which is actually a 5* amazing restaurant.

one of my friends told me he wanted us to go there, and I was like... "coffeebar?" I was very glad we went.

There's a local chain in Richmond, Virginia named "Nacho Mama's". And, in Detroit, there's an Irish pub named "O'Blivion's".

Richmond, Virginia has "Comfort", a wonderful restaurant that serves great southern comfort food.... chicken, meat loaf, greens. Love to go there when I'm in town.

We were in Panama, NY (near the NY/PA border in Chautauqua County - Jamestown area) and ate at a place called the Slurp and Burp because it was the only thing open.

Food was not memorable, but the place name was.

Dirty Dick's Crabhouse...

I waitressed there for 1 summer and if I did not say "Welcome to Dirty Dick's Crabhouse"... hence leaving out the word 'Crabhouse' I would have been fired because the word 'crabhouse' made it a family restaurant ...

One of my favorite Hong Kong style cafes in the Los Angeles region is the Tasty House in the City of Industry.

I was passing through Tracy, CA about 15 years ago and passed a place called Paco's Chop Suey - Mexican/Chinese food. I did not stop.

I'm in Brentwood, just 15 minutes from Tracy and I visit there often, I'm gonna check into it and see if its still there...LOL

I also remember seeing a restaurant on Haight Street in San Francisco named Squat and Gobble.
I have a friend who delivers the food to the Squat and Gobble and he was telling me about it last year. Up until then I'd never heard of it and I think its a great name for a gay bar..lol
