Eponymous restaurants that do not serve their namesake

Popeyes does not offer spinach.

Actually there’s a franchise in Bakersfield that - oh never mind.

Long John Silver’s does not serve Long Johns.

Chili’s has chili but it’s buried DEEP in the menu like they are contractually obligated to keep it around.

But they have salt beef, pork, and hardtack… right?

I thought Papaya King did sell a tropical fruit drink that has papaya in it.

What do you think they fry the chicken wings in? :smiley:

Scanning their menu, the only apples I see are in the apple sauce they offer as a side item on kid’s meals. They don’t even offer an apple-based dessert at this time.

As with Jolibee, there is a distinct lack of bees on the Applebee’s menu, too. :wink:

Never been there, but I always assumed it specialised in braised buccaneers. And now you’re telling me that’s not so?!?

A quick perusal of the Olive Garden menu reveals no olives in anything on either the appetizer or entree menu. At most, there might be a few black olives in one of their salads.

It’s not obvious that anything on the Chipotle menu actually has chipotle in it.

McDonalds doesn’t even have haggis on the menu.

Maybe the corn there is a buck an ear?

You need to mention the secret menu.

They do claim to use chipotle peppers in some food items.*

*but not their special Noro sauce.

“Joe’s”

I’m pretty sure Shakey’s didn’t sell shakes.

For that matter, The Halal Guys doesn’t even sell any men who observe Muslim dietary restrictions!

Years ago, in Toronto, there was a corner place that called itself “Lick’n Chick’n,” in painted-on signs on its windows. If you went in, expecting fried chicken, you found yourself in a coffee shop.

Why? Well, it seems that the building owner, who had run the fried chicken place called Lick’n Chick’n, decided to retire, and lease the place to whoever wanted it. But one of the provisions in the lease stated that the “Lick’n Chick’n” signs painted on the windows remain, despite whatever business subsequently occupied it.

So a coffee shop guy rented it. He kept to the terms of the lease; and so, if you wanted a good cup of coffee in Toronto’s Annex neighbourhood, you headed for Lick’n Chick’n. But if you wanted fried chicken, you were out of luck.

I think they only have the one salad on the menu.

And why is it Olive Garden, anyway? Most olive suppliers have orchards.

Buffalo Wild Wings serves chicken wings, not buffalo wings.
