Organic Milk, Schmorganic Milk: How Does It Taste?

Luther- thank you for the heads up on finding regularly-pasteurized organic milk. My eleven-year-old noticed the cooked taste of the brand I was buying. I figured that since all the labels in my market read "ultra-pasteurized" that was the culprit. I'll check out Trader Joe's. thx thx thx

In Chongqing. I recent ate at a hot pot restaurant called Zhu's Fagty Rot Hot-Tot. I have the napkin to prove it. What is this: a restaurant for gay pedophiles?

A friend of mine at Vassar told me about a place in Poughkipsee called the "Yeung Ho Chinese Restaurant"

My favorite is the chinese restaurant in Cooperstown, NY.

Foo Kin, as in "I want some of that Foo Kin Chinese Food!"

Singapore Bistro on 19th and L in Washington DC has the name right but if you look closely the sign below reads "Asian Cousin". Awesome!

And in Hilton Head, South Carolina somewhere I remember seeing a restaurant called Mexician Grill. We still laugh at that one!

There's a Chinese restaurant here in Portland, OR called Hung Far Low. I have no idea why.

There used to be a place called Takee Outee in the French Quarter. There was one right up the street from Pat O's. The eggrolls were huge, delicious and exactly what we needed after a few Hurricanes. Good times.

Around the corner from my house (in a neighborhood with a large Latino population) there is a restaurant called "Pupuseria My Family's" I'm dying to know how they managed to have a sign created without anyone pointing out the problematic grammar. thepictsie - There's a "Chinee Takee Outee" in Gainesville, FL too.

"The Oinkster" on Colorado in LA's Eagle Rock neighborhood is the best worst name I know. While the name is a total joke, the food is not!

I stopped in there in late December and got a generous serving of their belgian fries w/ garlic aioli. So damn good, I finished them all.

Oink, oink, baby.

"Meat and two veg" is also sometimes used to refer to a portion of the male anatomy.

In Jacksonville, FL, there is (or used to be) a place called Chinee Takee Outee, which I always found somewhat horrifying.

There is/was a "Mother Cluckers" in New Orleans.
When I was in London in '94, there was "Phuckets" which we pronounced with an "f" sound (we were in high school and thought it was hilarious)
And another place in London was called "The Crusty Loaf" which I thought was kinda cute.

I got the name wrong. The official name was
"Mo' Better Meatty [sic] Meat Burger"

Awesome.

There's a "Something's Fishy" in Malibu. Don't know if it's part of the South African chain rudbeckia mentions, but that one has definitely caught my attention as particularly unappetizing.

Also suspect in sunny LA-LA land: "Wacky Wok" and "Killer Shrimp," both on Washington Blvd, in Venice. Wackiness and lethality are just not attributes I like to associate with my food.

Honorable mention: the now defunct Mo' Meaty Meat Burgers on Pico and Fairfax Blvds. (They didn't specify what kind of meat, or what state of meatiness had existed prior to the onset of "Mo'.")

Pho King in San Diego and Taco Rosa (Pink Taco) in Orange County.

We saw a place in Houston called "Chewy Balls"--amusing and disturbing.

It doesn't get worse than a chain of fast food fish shops with the name "Something Fishy." It's a South African chain and when I saw my first one I swore that the name would never work in the U.S..

Years later we moved to Santa Barbara to find a sushi joint with the same name. Very appealing.

"Food Wall" in Jamaica Plain, Boston. Chinese, allegedly. Just... gross.

"What the Pho' " in Atlanta. I've also heard that there is a Vietnamese place somewhere called "Pho' King," but I've never actually seen that one.
