Because zebras should never be mild

If I had a lot more money and a lot more patience, it would be fun to open my own restaurant.  Sometimes, just for the fun of it, I like to draw up floor plans for a place, and make up my own unique menu.

I wonder what my restaurant would be called?  I’d like it to be something slightly bizarre, but not so freaky that people run screaming in horror.  For example, “The Salmonella Outbreak” might be a poor choice, as would “The Questionable Ingredient”.

Here’s a place that calls itself the “Bounty Hunter.”

It sounds like a good place; here’s a restaurant review of it.

I like the idea of delicious savory sandwiches.  And hey, we carnivorous folks are always ready for a good dose of pulled pork.  It’s juicy and delicious, plus it’s fun to say “pulled pork” over and over again.
Notice that the review also says they serve wild boar.

Perhaps my restaurant can involve hot and spicy versions of animals we wouldn’t usually eat.

Fiery Kangaroo Poppers!
Sizzling Zebra Fajitas!
Scorching Rattlesnake Nuggets!
Burning Ass!  (No, wait…)
Habanero Turtle Pockets!
Flaming Flamingo Wings!

The animal rights activists would be on my doorstep before the lunch hour was even finished.

Hopefully the complimentary basket of Red Hot Rhino Rolls will change their minds.

    The restaurant on the Beverly Hillbillies was called The Happy Gizzard. The show was cancelled long ago, so I’m sure no one would mind if you borrowed that name.
    And it is just swelling with possibilities. Or something.

    LOL at Mary.

    If they can call chicken wings, buffalo wings, and get away with it, then I think you could call spicy chicken gizzards Red Hot Rhino Rolls.

    CWM: I look forward to serving you!

    MaryT: Moose parts? I guess with the right marinade, anything is possible….

    Marilyn: I hate chicken gizzards. Maybe I could use bacon instead….

    Mik: Good choice! :)
