Chain Restaurant Food or Band Name?

March 18, 2008

I was talking to a friend of mine and she mentioned how the dishes in chain restaurants always have ridiculous names. She thought that a breakfast dish at Baker's Square — called Chorizo Skillet — sounded a bit like a bad band name. Can't you see it now? Hey guys we're going to go see Chorizo Skillet this weekend! I suppose it could be worse; it could be Jimmy Eat World — real band name — or G Love and the Special Sauce — another real band name.

So now tell me, can you identify the real band names from the chain restaurant dishes? If you think you can, then take the quiz!

Damn I'm good, and I guessed half of them. Yay me, I should take quizzes more often late at night.

Midway through the quiz I forgot whether I was choosing band names or actually names of chain restaurants not dishes at the restaurant. But except for archers of loaf and string cheese incident I guessed. 7/10.

9 out of 10. Not too bad.

My friends and I are always coming up with crazy band names. This quiz was too ironic!

I agree bluesarahlou, I need to pay more attention. Only got 4 correct.

Wow I did really well (8/10) and would have only changed 1 (making it 9/10).

I've heard of String Cheese Incident and Jimmie's Chicken Shack...so I got those right. And the Quesadilla Explosion (only cause a coworker LOVES it...it's a salad BTW...but not a very healthy one ;) ) But I kinda misunderstood the quiz...I thought the names were of the actual restaurant, not a dish found in a restaurant. That's my excuse for my 50% score! :)

I totally thought Dorset Inn was an early-90s emo band. I guess I got them confused with Amber Inn.

I really thought I would ace this, but I guess 8 out of 10 isn't bad. Now I know what chain restaurant food to use for my next band name.
