How about some guy named Bubba opening a joint called
Lord of the Chicken Wings?

How about Alphaville Cafe?

Doctor Zhivago flower shop.

I remember watching Tokyo-ga by Wim Wenders and there's a cafe in
Japan called Le Jette and guess who was sitting there? Chris Marker.

There is a Bubba Gump Shrimp Company that has a chain of seafood
restaurants:
www.bubbagump.com

Here in Atlanta, there used to be a little restaurant called the Atomic
Cafe, no doubt
named after the documentary of the same name.

We have one so obvious here in Atlanta, I'm surprised it hasn't come up
already: Babbette's, named after "Babbette's Feast".

Well, I was wondering if somebody was going to come up with Bubbette's
Feast. Around here, a "bubbette" is the female version of a bubba (a
hopeless redneck).

On one of the city's oldest and most charming brick streets,
we have a local restaurant named "Rick's on the Bricks" which
has a "Casablanca" theme. Appropriately enough, it's a
popular hangout for local politicians, as well as state legislators
who are visiting from the Capitol.

And on a years-ago business trip to Atlanta, GA, my hosts
treated me to dinner at Aunt Pittpat's Porch located in
Underground Atlanta ... don't know if it's still open, but the
food was excellent.
