Restaurants named after sports people

[littleitch1]

Does it steer you in just because a restaurant is named after a player or coach?

I ate at marinos back in the day, and Shulas too

They rarely came into the restaurant , so other than the names the food wasn’t that special

The reason I posted is I saw a billboard advertising spurrier restaurant in hog town

I’m sure all gators eat there, but I can’t eat in that town

Ooh, ooh that smell kills my appetite

No.

We have a Stoners Pizza here in Savannah. Does that count?

 

[GeddyLee09]

No. In fact that normally makes me not want to go there.

We used to go to Pete Rose's place in Boca when we lived in WPB. The kids loved it because there was a large arcade in the middle. He lived close by and was there all the time.

I’ve been to Pete Rose's restaurant many times!

I think he makes $1 million per year signing autographs in Vegas.

I used to go to Lee Roy Selmon's frequently;first time the name was part of what drew me in, but the food was quite good.
It was part bbq, part soul food/Southern-style comfort food. Co-owned by Selmon and the guys who started Outback Steakhouses. It was a small chain, I think all of the stores in the Tampa area.
Selmon and his brothers had originally come out with a bbq sauce that was sold on many stores; it was very good.

No. Not a draw for me,

Wasn’t there a thread a few years back about the ‘dishes’ served at that place? Like the Tebow ‘Holier Than Thou’ chicken wings?

It was changed into Wilt Chamberlains and is now gone.

I am here, just lurking more. And I actually have to work at work since being bought by corporate. Looking for my golden ticket out of here though...Fingers crossed, except when...well you know when.
