Eating at the Pink Taco
 
http://www.azcentral.com/ent/dining/...2pinktaco.html

Quote:

In a city aspiring to be defined by its good taste, a new Mexican restaurant, the Pink Taco, is opening with a name that some find offensive.

Scottsdale Mayor Mary Manross was so put off by the name, a slang term for vagina, that she asked its owner to change it.

"I don't appreciate anything that offends more than half the population," Manross said. "But he said no and heard my concern. I really didn't want to see a business with that name opening anywhere here."

Sounding more strip club than cantina, the restaurant isn't coy about the double entendre.

"(The name) came out of a dish (that's on the menu), but it's tongue-in-cheek. It was amusing, catchy," Pink Taco CEO Harry Morton said. "You've got to stand out from the rest of the crowd."


On a related note, I'm accepting franchisees for my new Dangling Nutsack Brewpubs chain.

My wife ate there in Vegas......she liked it so much she bought a pair of pant there that say pink taco across the ass.

I'm pro pink taco:)

the best part of Pink Tacos is all the meat curtains they have hanging up in the windows

I hate when i find hair on my pink taco.

It's funny reading some of the debates about this. We do have an Asian food place here called "Long Wongs" which nobody bitches about. Hell, many of the people commenting in the article didn't even know what the name meant. People need to relax a bit.......And Cam, I think we should go with a Coffee shop instead of Brewpub and call it the "Dangling Teabag" then put it right next to the Pink Taco......It could be a whole set of theme restaurants.

Holy crap, its weird to see Long Wongs mentioned. You ever hear of a band called Steppchild? They used to play there all the time. Thats one of my best friends band.

Eating the pink taco is murder on my complexion.

Reading the article, I think the last name "Manross" is more offensive than the Pink Taco.

Brilliant! And for the vegetarians, we can have the Tossed Salad Bar. :)

i can see why you'd want to mask the taste.

Eating at the Pink Taco sounds much more appealing than dining at the "Y".

And I guess they soon forget about Hooters as well.

I drove past Walgreens t'other day and the marquee read:

"Chicken Poop Lip Balm sold here!"

I'd try some just for the name, but unless its special in other ways it's going to have trouble replacing Burts Bees in my pocket.

JimboJ 04-23-2006 11:39 PM

How does she know the name offends half the population? Did they do a survey? Or is she just assuming there are no women in town with a sense of humor?

Maybe its just the fact that I'm a guy, but I find so many things in the world to be be way more offensive than a restaurant named after a part of the female anatomy.

Swaggs 04-23-2006 11:49 PM

Subtle.

This reminds me of the Big Johnson T-shirts, with their "clever" innuendos, that we used to wear to high school. I remember one kid had a generic-type shirt that was something like "Big Dick's Beaver Hunting Shotguns."

Sorry sir, Joe is in the Pink Taco at the moment....

Haha. I wonder if that was on purpose. :)

Shkspr 04-24-2006 09:35 AM

Hell, I'll go there:

The worst thing about the pink tacos on the menu is that every few weeks the chefs just start slathering them in salsa, making the dish damn near inedible.

We? I always wondered who those people were.

WSUCougar 04-24-2006 10:42 AM

I used to have a t-shirt from Big Peckers in Ocean City, MD

Wow, that brings back memories. Always wanted one of those, but never could get one....

"E. Normous Johnson for President...After Bush in '92."

"Big Johnson's Bar and Casino...Liquor up front, poker in the rear."

Heh.

Am I the only one disappointed this was not an instructional?

My only reason I come to FOFC now is the faint hope of a "Oral Sex: The Cam Edwards Way" thread.

Lorena 04-24-2006 11:45 AM

If they're asking to have the name changed, they should do the same for "Hooters"... how ridiculous.

Pick your favorite snarky answer:

a) Well, you could always end the suspense and ask Mrs. Samdari.

b) That book will be published by Regnery in mid-2007.

c) do it 'til your tongue cramps.

She's 7 months pregnant. The strain on your neck would be killer.

Subby 04-24-2006 11:49 AM

That's awesome. I just had an empanada from The Puckered Scrotum and it was first rate. I would imagine TPT is just as good.

Most people stop reading once the find out they key is having a completely shaved head. Most people aren't willing to make that much of a sacrifice.
