The Food Hospital

I saw a new, well new to me anyway, resturant in my neighborhood. It’s called the “Food Hospital.”

It looks like a small version of a sandwich and soup shop.

I was just thinking about the name. “The Food Hospital?” I don’t think that is a very good name for a resturant. Do you?

No. It is a terrible name for a restaurant. The word “hospital” does not make me think of a pleasant eating experience.

Makes me picture sandwiches limping around on little crutches.

It’s a bad name. I voted “no” but I’d still be as likely to eat there as a restaurant with the greatest name ever.

My first image was a new show on the Food Network themed around fixing kitchen disasters.

But as a restaurant? Nope.

There was a sketch on The New Show featuring Paul Simon called “Roy’s Food Repair.” That’s what it made me think of.

It’s not as if I wouldn’t eat there if I was hungry, but it is not a great name.

I imagine nearly rotten apples with the one good square inch cut out and dropped in a fruit salad, or half rotted lettuce being rehab-ed with a sodium chloride rinse. . . yech!

Yeah, that’s what I thought about also. Someone could go around people’s houses and teach them the proper way to cook dishes they keep messing up every time they attempt to cook them. For example, someone could be standing over me while I make hollandaise sauce and teach me how to keep it from curdling.

It makes me picture a place where all of the ‘sick’ food gets taken…I think I’d much rather eat ‘healthy’ food…

what do the waitresses wear?

It would make me think of the food served in hospitals, which is generally not held in high regard.

(Although the food at Fletcher Allen Hospital in Burlington, Vermont is first rate.)
