Numeric Restaurant Names


There seems to be a rash of restaurant names that use numeric designations instead of honest names.

The 112 Eatery, Five, 20.21 & the 128 Cafe all come to mind.

I predict that he next great leap forward in restaurant naming will be to start using an IP address for the restaurant.

"Where are you going to eat tonight?"
"We're going out for a night on the town at 192.28.43.101 followed by dessert at 127.0.0.1."

P.S. I've had good meals at all the numbered restaurants listed above, so maybe I shouldn't kvetch about the naming convention so much.

The quality of the experience at La Belle Vie almost single-handedly wipes away the memories of the transgressions of the numerically-fixated establishments. That location was once known merely as 510 Groveland: if all the rest could make that transformation then we'd have nothing to worry about.

"Five" is exempted from all criticism until such time as they serve a bad meal.
