Hoodsie History
Good to see some love for the Hoodsie. I would add Hood Coffee Milk to that.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
PuPu Hot Pot in Cambridge MA is an unfortunate name. There also used to be a "Ducky Wok" in Allston MA.
And of course there's the famous and actually high-quality "No-Name Restaurant" on the Boston fish pier.

I used to live next door - in that brick building you can see in the picture.
I am going to stick up for their fries, big time. Despite being basically wedges, they are never overdone on the outside, and never underdone on the inside. They are also exceptionally good at hanging on to salt - and I like my fries salty.
Their entrees are a mixed bag, but their tips and cajun items are pretty good and a pretty good value (for the area). Plus, you can get a pie afterwards at Petsi Pies across the street,
On the down side, they charge you a quarter if you want lettuce on your burger...jerks.

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?

The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
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!
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
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.

Don't get me wrong Lauren..I would rather spend my cash at Sully's over the big chains and a host of well known lameburgers here in Las Vegas. The 'thang is, a joint like Sully's can adapt and improve while most if not all others will remain the same. I don't like alot of lettuce on my burger anyhow...
Cheers, TB.

TB, many places in NY charge for "deluxe" burgers, which usually means lettuce, tomato, and fries. Sully's gives you the fries and one free cheese but charges for lettuce and tomato. Whatcha gonna do?
I stand by my assertion that this place deserves a try. The burger is unique and most of the time quite delicious. Then again, it's a small joint, and I don't mind having it to myself.

The joint in the pic sure has that bluesy cool burger joint vibe goin' on. Sounds like the burger doesn't stand up to the vibe though. Charging for lettuce on a burger? They must really care about thier customers.
Cheers, TB.
Hoodsie History
I once, yes, just once, had a vanilla-flavored popsicle. It was blue and absolutely wonderful. I have never seen one since.
In the 1950s, Hoodsies had pictures of actors and actresses on th einside of the top lid, For some reason, they were printed in blue ink.
At Fenway Park, vendors sold 3 flavored Hood ice cream cups.

Chester Bars from New Hampshire, though I'll be damned if I can find the first bit of information about them online!
Hoodsie History
My mom used to by a "brick" of neapolitan ice cream (a quarton gallon? I don't know the official size but it was the size of a brick, hence the name). She'd then make 2 waffles and put a slice of the neapolitan ice cream between the waffles.
And "strawberry shortcake" ice cream bars. These ones are still around.

In Bellevue, Washington, there is "What the Pho?"

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.

"Cabbages and Condoms" in Bangkok.

"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.
The Best Worst Restaurant Names Ever
I got the name wrong. The official name was
"Mo' Better Meatty [sic] Meat Burger"
Awesome.
