Durham has restaurants with multiple dishes.
Well aren't you just fancy.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
In London my BiL took us to a restaurant that only served hummus
Hummus Brothers? My other half is in love with that place. (I am anticpating a fight over whether all the catering for whatever kind of party ends up being our wedding can come from there.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
In Culver City, there is a grilled cheese restaurant called Meltdown that I really need visit.
I had no idea. Now I need to visit too.
We also have a restaurant that serves nothing but macaroni & cheese:
Oh dear. Now I need to go to New York. I love mac & cheese.
Speaking of, my son has a friend over & they had TJs mac & cheese for lunch. They split 1 container and asked for more! That's like 500 calories each for lunch. I have no idea what my son is doing with all that food he eats. I mean, he's growing, sure, but he isn't growing that fast.

In Huntington Beach many moons ago there use to be a place that served everything over baked Potato. That is you started with your baked potato and the poured Mac N Cheese over it. Over meatloaf over it. Or just about about any standard cafeteria dish. I guess they just took the idea of covering baked potatoes with stuff and extrapolated to an insane degree.
I also remember a place that specialized specialized in Mexican food and Sushi. NOt fusion, just offered combinations with both. Not a success. (The potato place was still in business when I left SoCal, but I have trouble believing it lasted. Baked Potato bar is one thing - just pouring any old thing over baked potato, my guess is the market for that is limited.)
Anyone else have any weird eatery concept fail stories?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Decades ago, I used to eat at a place like that called One Potato Two in a mall in Green Bay. They were (are?) a chain, but I don't know how widespread.

When I was a kid there was a local sandwich shop whose slogan was "The sandwich is YOURS." I never did grok what they meant by that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Dude, we have Butter.
Sweet Lord.
I've enjoyed my excursions to Buca di Beppo. I had some really good chicken marsala there.

Maybe it was a riff on Captain Planet's "The power is YOURS"?

“Not dead yet!”
Miami has Cuban/Chinese/fried chicken restaurants.

Hey. New board.
Now I need to go to New York. I love mac & cheese.
S'Mac is awesome, too. Even more awesome is the "Pinch and S'Mac" on the Upper West Side, which combines the mac and cheese menu of S'Mac with the no-longer-available-elsewhere gourmet pizza of Pizza By The Inch (ordered in 4", 6", 8", 12", etc. up to 36" strips), with extra sexual suggestion in the name.

Our wings are not tired.
So I decided to Google the phrase that my son and his friends have on their t-shirts to see if it is anything I should know about. The first 3 links of 5500+ are videos of my son and friends in school taken from cell phone cameras. Hope none of them plan political careers.
