In the pits

I'm not, but I've been thinking about restaurants that contain the word "pit".


















It kind of disgusts me.
Remember "The Peach Pit" from 90210?
Why did they name it that?
A peach pit is not only ugly, but tastes disgusting.
Maybe the food was bad.
There are restaurants named "The Flaming Pit", "The Pita Pit", "The Pit" and "The Pit Stop".
There's even one called "Bono's Pit".
Yum!
Let's go eat in Bono's Pit!
I bet it's nice and warm!
...and hairy.
*shudder*
In my opinion, if the name is the same of an area on the body, you probably shouldn't name your restaurant that.
Especially if it's hairy.
And speaking of hairy restaurants, when I lived in Kansas, there was a place called "Furrs Cafeteria".
A buffet restaurant.
I called it "Cat furrs" because that's what I thought of every time I saw the sign.
(Are you singing "I Saw The Sign" yet?)
Did you know if visit Puerto Rico, you can eat at a place called "Belly Buttons"?
I wonder if they serve fuzzy navel drinks.
Maybe there's a restaurant called "Back Fat" or "Ear Canal".
I might just claim the name's if they're available.
This could be a trend in the future.
"Carrots Dandruff Diner".
I can see it now.

They just opened up a Dickey's BBQ Pit on the corner because that's the way true Texas BBQ should be eaten....out of Dickey's Pit.

We have a Furr's Cafeteria!
They opened a new buffet-style location as opposed to their old all-u-can-eat cafeteria style model.
They had these rounded salmon croquette thingies. I told Hector they should name them Furr Balls and it could be the specialty of the house.

Carrot's Dandruff Diner....where there's a light dusting of delicate flakes on everything we serve!

I am simultaneously laughing and disgusted. Only you can do that to me! ;)

I remember The Peach Pit, and always wondered why?

Let's just say I'm glad I ate lunch BEFORE I read this post. I'm never going to look at restaurant titles the same again.
