Golden Corral. I feel like you should name your restaurant something that doesn't sound too much like "gilded cage"

It's a gas station not a restaurant but we need to acknowledge The Kum 'n' Go.

I think Kum 'n' Go sprang into existence when some company bought up a bunch of 7-11 franchises? Some 25 year-old PR rep probably floated the name as a joke and none of the old dudes in the boardroom caught it. Kum? Really?

Olive Garden, since it sounds like what white people think an Italian place is called and I hate it.resistentialism posted:"Ruth's Chris Steak House" This is probably a far more embarrassing option than Olive Garden, so Ruth's Chris wins.

Shipley Do-Nuts or Wienerschnitzel, since you can't even get a schnitzel there wtf. Come to think of it America could really use a schnitzel chain, it's literally just patties of fried meat, we'd eat that poo poo up.

Burgerim was a pyramid scheme and the owner ghosted on everyone before many of their stores even opened.

Cough Drop The Beat posted:This is probably a far more embarrassing option than Olive Garden, so Ruth's Chris wins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth's_Chris_Steak_House Originally called and purchased as Chris Steak House from Chris Matulich... quote:In early 1976, shortly after (Ruth) Fertel signed a new ten-year lease on the restaurant, a fire destroyed the building. Fertel had recently acquired a second property nearby to rent out as a party space. Within seven days, she had relocated the restaurant to its new location a few blocks away at 711 North Broad Street and re-opened it, expanding to 160 seats in the process. The sales agreement with Matulich prevented her from using the original name at any other address, so she named the new restaurant Ruth's Chris Steak House in order to keep some continuity with the previous location. She admitted later to Fortune Magazine that "I've always hated the name, but we've always managed to work around it."

Yeah it's very dumb, but it's dumb for understandable reasons instead of some dipshit coming up with a dumb name out of the blue and going "yeah, this is what I want attached to my business."

There's a chain called Carlos O'Kelly's, which always seemed a weird combination of names. Not sure if it is still around though.

You left out the best part quote:Chris Steak House was founded on February 27, 1927 by New Orleans entrepreneur Chris Matulich.[5] It was located at 1100 North Broad Street near the Fair Grounds Race Course, seated 60 people, and had no parking lot.

I see fries in that bin too. Thats a hell of a meal. Its probably stationed at the corner strategically, to bog you down with low dollar greasy protein and breading while you take scoop after scoop of it while waiting in line to get in front of the more expensive steamer trays.
