Toxic Smell & Booger Fling
I had a girlfriend (a long while ago) who insisted on referring to McDonald’s as Corporate Death Burger.
There are also restaurants out there with legitimate off-puttingnames: Schlotski’s Deli - a Schmutz-atorium; Fudruckers - great burgers, questionable name; and who in the hell was responsible for naming Spunkmeyer’s cookies?
There used to be a scuzzy little restaurant in Libertyville, Illinois called the Hot Spur.
Late one night, someone climbed up on their big sign and spray-painted an “M” on the end.
Anyone here remember Burger Death…I mean Burger Chef?
In and Out - An Out an Out an Out’s.
Sarovar (Indian Cuisene)- Sucha-bore.
Togos - Don’t Go’s.
Like I originally said, sometimes you just don’t need to re-name a restaurant in order to be derogatory…
Just up Ventura Avenue is a restaurant called Fat Burger.
Up where I live, there’s this ‘family-style’ (read: mediocre with cheap breakfast served all day, popular with truckers and rather dirty families) restaurant called 4B’s. It’s an old Montana chain that’s extended a good ways through the Northwest. Anyway, I call it More Fleas. (Told you it wasn’t always the cleanest. At least it doesn’t have a Keno game running in the dining area.) Most of the rest of the eateries are actually pretty good, if you can stand the constant gambling going on around you.

The worst pizza I’ve ever had was at a Berkeley place officially called Fat Slice, but known to many locals as Rat Lice.
In both DC and San Francisco there are Thai restaurants called Phuket.
And Narile, I do indeed remember Burger Chef. There is (or at least as of a few years ago, was) a perfectly preserved Burger Chef somewhere near Hagerstown, Maryland. All I can remember about eating there is they had great toys.
Taco Bell is always called “Run For The Bathroom”.
I work two blocks from a place called the “Cat and Cleaver.”
(No, it’s not a Chinese restaurant.)

Howard Johnson’s is Hard-on Johnson around the card club.
Hmmmmm, well, all mine are taken, but I am posting anyway because of the chain of convenience stores in the Midwest called Kum-n-Go. Spelled just like that. I nearly caused an accident pulling over to take a photo of the sign, first time I saw it.
