Title: Restaurants 'named after' Video Game Characters
Post by: Sunbun on January 18, 2006, 08:33:23 PM
There's Sonic Burger and Mario and Luigi's Pizza... what other eateries in your area have names 'borrowed' from game characters?

(obviously, most of them are purely coincidence, else Nintendo would be onto them like a cat on mice)

Paratroopa's Seafood Galore

I'll show you a pic next time I drive by there. It has paratroopa on the sign. Their food actually is HORRIBLE!(Bleck)

There's a Japanese restaurant (I assume) around here called "Yoshi's" or "Yoshi" or something. Never been there, but it always makes me smile whenever I see it.

I keep staring at that picture, but i can't figure out what Yoshi is holding there, or why he'd want to eat it.

Is Yoshi using a unicycle on each foot?

I think Yoshi is holding sausage.

But, why is his(/her) tongue white?

 You can't get everything right all the time, I guess.

Where I live, there's an obligatory Mario's Pizza, but there was also Luigi's Cafe and Eatery. I haven't seen any more than that.

I thought it was a plate of weird red stuff. Perhape they're "kebaps", of maybe it is some sort of pizza.

Recently I went to Fredo the Italian Plumber's Stereotypical Italian Pizza Parlor, and noticed that Fredo the Italian Plumber is just Mario with different clothes! When I inquired Fat Luey the Italian Plumber, the manager, about this, I remember being knocked out from behind and then being dumped off the side of some Nevada road.

Luckily, there was a Sonic the Hedgehog's Fast Food Place nearby, and right beside it was a Duke Nukem's Incredibly Macho Pizza Castle.

This isn't a restaurant, but I saw a street in my town called BOWSER PL

The most original of them all. When I went to Florida, I saw the restaurant Sonic.

Around the Bronx, there's a Cafe called Mario's World. It owns. The Pizza is first class, there's free Wifi, even better, there's Lan play Double Dash!!

I'm being serious people, the manager is a Nintendo Fan. A big one.

More about Mario's World.

There's a Soda named 1-up that's 7-Up. Moo Moo Milk from Zelda. Many other good food. I'll go there today again and write more about the food. (Actually, we're ordering. Unfortunately, It's not that big of a hit because it's surrounded by many other bigger restaurants.

Dang, if I lived around that place and could drive, I'd go there all the time.
Title: Re: Restaurants 'named after' Video Game Characters
Post by: Kojinka on February 16, 2006, 08:54:21 AM
So would I.  Well, I can drive, but I live in the midwest.

Hmm, the only restraunt I can think of right at the moment is that Italian restraunt on the Simpsons called Luigi's.  But that's on a cartoon, so I don't know if that would count.

(Strangly enough, I had a dream where Mario and Luigi owned a pizza parlor.)

For the 1-up=7up,  I did that once on a Mario fanfic

I thought Moo Moo Milk was from Pokemon.  On G/S/C, there's a Militank(a dairy cow Pokemon) named MooMoo whom you have to give berries to in order to cure its sickness.  Lon Lon Milk is from Zelda.

There's a restaraunt in a neighboring town called Misty's.

Misty is a real name, though. ;)

There is a place in my area called Toad's Turnpike, which is called that way because fog's haunt the road every night.

Mario's a real name too.

So is Zelda.

Yes, Misty is a real name, but it's also the name of a Pokemon gym leader.

I've yet to meet a person named Peach.

I'm guessing he's holding a pizza.

BTW there's kid in my junior class named Kirby.

Actually, I think that's how Yoshi's name is spelled in those sections of Europe.

Yeah, that picture is from Switzerland, where people speak chiefly German, in which the "J" is pronounce as "Y".  I guess that's how they spell it, but I wonder if that old member "Yoshizu" from Germany spelled his name according to his country or to America.
