This sign resides just outside the quaint and beautiful downtown of Aiken, SC. Um, yeah, I had to snap a pic. And cursed if "off da chain" is not back in my lexicon!
Besides snickering, this sign got me thinking about the naming of restaurants. I'm actually fond of this more descriptive moniker than, say, some of the one-word descriptors that merely allude to the food and drink being served, or, worse, just sound pretentious.Ansill, Supper, Bindi, Kanella, Xochitl, Tinto, Fork, James, Meme? Tell me what you really serve. For instance, Monk could be more accurately named More Beer Than You Can Shake A Stick At. Amada could be renamed Tapas So Good You'll Stain Your Drawers. And Moaz should be called Bangin' Euro Fast Food Falafel. Just a thought.

HA!!
There's a restaurant in my neighborhood called Eastside Fish. Their slogan is "Crunkest Fish in Town." Gotta love!!
The only way I could love that name more is if there were an expletive between "da" and "chain."
My favorite sign in Memphis is for Chitlins-n-thangs. Great sign and you know exactly what you're in for (if you go, which I don't).
