The Thai Restaurant Game

Alright, game time. Your goal is to come up with hypothetical Thai restaurant names based on puns. The inspirations for this are, of course, the spectacularly monikered Thai Tanic and Thaiphoon, two restaurants on the cusp of what we hope is a developing wave of comical restaurant names soon to sweep the District (The Grill From Ipanema being the current standard-bearer.)

The Thai Restaurant game is a favorite of ours; it’s particularly good for walks through boring parts of the city or longer Metro rides. And while it’s become clear that some people find our fascination with the game somewhat off-putting, a visit from Katie’s dad has sparked a new enthusiasm for the practice and inspired me to post it here for your consideration.

So here’s what we’ll do: I’ll start off with some examples, and then you post yours in the comments. The best entries will be featured in future posts on this very important topic, and maybe we’ll even try some voting if there’s interest.

The contenders:

• Coat and Thai
• My Way or the Thai Way
• Thai-rannosaurus rex*
• Eastern Thai’m Zone*
• Thai in the Sky
• Don’t Thai For Me Argentina
• Thai-ly Cyrus
• Thai’ll You Were Sleeping
• Thaisons Corner

Got the idea? Now get to it!
