I don't have any.  It appears they are done until someone agrees to lease or purchase space from them.

Seriously, "Tapa That"...

Yeah, what's up with the rash of bad restaurant names lately, Tapa That, Alphadog Grill, Goozlepipe & Guttyworks ...

Ok, what would you name your new restaurant specializing in hotdogs, tapas place, and Belgian beer restaurant???

What's wrong with putting a little humor or fun into your name?? Let's back off these business owners and just be glad they're here.

+1. Lord, some people are so negative.

I don't own a restaurant so I don't have a dog in the fight but I do work in marketing so I see the potential a good name and branding can bring to an establishment. I also wouldn't just randomly come up with some names, I would want to talk to the owners and get an idea of their personalities, how they want their business perceived, yada, yada, yada....

I'm all for new restaurants and bars in the area and I actually want more, but I've seen many come and go without so much as a whimper. The ones that have resonance seem to have branded themselves well and created a personality, Burrito Gallery, Dos Gatos, Chew, Peles, and Town come to mind.

Or maybe I've been looking at the restaurants on Cool Hunter too long. http://www.thecoolhunter.net/food
