  • Brother Jimmy's: After a long brainstorming session, the Brother Jimmy's team landed on this. Not great, but it's a whole lot better than "Put Some Meat on Yo' Feet," "Put Some Cue in Yo' Hairdo," and "Before You Floss, Ea
  • The Burger Garage: After some wear and tear, your appetite sometimes needs a tune up. Always a good idea to consult the Blue Book value before lunch. [link]
  • Ted's Montant Grill: Their original slogan was "Eat Great. Do Whatevs," but it didn't fit under the buffalo. [Link]
  • Gobo: Most restaurants let you smell, taste and look at your food. But at Gobo, you also get to listen to, and feel your meal. If you eat there enough, you also can experience the sixth sense, which is food ghosts. [
  • Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse: The Del Frisco's team got J.R.R. Tolkein to write their slogan for them. [Link]
