yeah but I'm sure the owner can tell you a decent story on how the name came about

so, owner of Table, how did you name your restaurant?

well...I saw this table sitting here...

But a reference to the idea of bringing "fresh from the farm to THE TABLE" doesnt work?


How does "Table" or even Table, Kitchen and Bar tell you the restaurant is farm to table? Where are you getting that? The answer is that you already knew that it's a farm to table restaurant. No way to get that from the name and especially not with just "Table". No possible way.

I'm not saying a restaurant has to convey it's cuisine in the name, but to suggest that the name of this restaurant does is wrong. It doesn't.

Call it The Farm to Table Restaurant and Bar. Then folks can say "I'm going to The Farm".

My point is I never thought people could have such an issue with the name of a restaurant. We have gone from foodies to namies

Oh, geez, it's not an issue. I don't care what the owner names his restaurant. It's a discussion on a slow day most of us are hoping will end soon, so the game will start soon.

It's a stupid name, though.
And, it's too long. It's interesting that you're tired of the one word names, but you keep calling the poor place "Table" which is really bad. Wonder if the owner thought of that when he selected the name.

Oh come on, Otis, you know that's already been used.

I think it should be Eat at Otis2's. You can't say "farm to table food", though, because you use rubber corn in your crawfish boils.

Gris Gris's Food Voodoo and Spirits. I like it. Gris's for short works fine.

You need to get your ears clean or maybe it's your accent. That does sound "gristle". It's pronounced "gree's" or "gri" for the singular. Have you been saying gris like priss? Tell me you haven't.

EAT has been used, already. You can't have it.

Looks like "Gristle" then...makes me shudder.


My joint will be EAT, with likely the street address attached. I'll have a special table for you, GG.

I'm a good cook. My corn is not rubbery, but I'll make it so for you...if you want it.

Because you can cook frozen corn?

No thanks. I'm going to pass on your corn and bay leaf gumbo. I have other things on my list. I'll try your shrimp diane.

Just don't use an apostrophe or any word that a dumbass might think has an apostrophe in it.

I often edit ads and such that have references to restaurants. Any with an apostrophe get flicked up more times than not.
