There used to be a restaurant here when I was a kid named "Sambo's". I remember that the kids menu was made so that you could punch out eye and mouth holes to turn it into a mask of a tiger.

k Jowct- certainly that is truly a horrible name. The worst (funny) bad name I ever encountered was the "Squat and Gooble". A small restaurant that was briefly in business here in our small town in Iowa. I guess it would have been worse if the sign panter had gotten the words out of order... Dave

There's a place off Michigan Ave near Hillsdale, Michigan that's called "Jus Bad Food"
I want to stop there sometime...

Matthew Yglesias pointed out that while we consider Nazi stuff taboo, Stalinist/Communist stuff is practically kitsch now: "When I lived in the Boston area, I used to go to People's Republic in Central Square. When I'm in New York City I've been known to frequent KGB Bar and while I think it may have closed, Nikita on MacDougal Street was definitely more Nikita Khruschev than La Femme Nikita."
If I opened a restaurant here in Ventura, I know where it would go, and what we'd sell, and even what we'd call it: Ernesto's Beach Pizza. Not offensive, but certainly an awful name, no?

They were forced to change the name.
Now known as "Mel's."

There was a restaurant in Ithaca called Billy Bob Jack's Outhouse. I did a Google search and it looks like it is still there.

Once in Rockford. Il for a buddy's wedding, we past a place called "Tub o' Tips"
I guess it was Beef tips.
We also had a great burger stand nearby that was called "Murder Burger" it was decided that that was not PC so they had a contest for a new name--now it is REDRUM BURGER. Redrum-Murder selled backwards from the great thriller movie.
