Been trying out some new food places during the holidays, which got me thinking: I'm sure Crepes Bonaparte serves great crepes and all, but... you have to admit, the name is pretty disappointing. I mean, you can't be a really good food truck unless you've got a good pun as your name, you know? Now, if they'd decided to sell ice cream instead and been Neapolitan Bonaparte, I would totally get behind that.

Lol! That's a good one! You should totally trademark that and open your own ice cream business.

And for the record, Crepes Bonaparte DOES have really good crepes. It's one of my go-to places when I'm in the mood for desserts.

[grumpei]

heh maybe
if this career doesnt work out ill have to go into the ice cream truck business

thats good to know though
i didnt actually try them out, just saw it in the area when getting lunch
maybe ill try it out later despite the name

[ladytakamaki]

Yeah? What's your current job?

And you should! Tell them Ann sent you! They basically know me by name now :P

[cornets]

What would be a good pun for crepes???
A crepe load of cream?

[tarotcards]

Agreed. I'd be more willing to eat out if the names were more creative.

Like a Chinese restaurant being called Wok and Roll.

[lastcomfort]

Or why not crepes and ice cream? Those are a great combination!

[grumpei]

police officer
hoping one day to be a detective but well see how things go

ill definitely have to let them know about the recommendation if i go by
let you get the credit

[grumpei]

thats not bad
i was thinking more along the lines of crepe-ing around or something

[ladytakamaki]

Oh hey! Maybe you know my boyfriend? His name's Mako. He's trying to be detective, too!

Yes! Sweet! They have a rewards program, so refer other people yourself if you like it, okay?

[grumpei]

thats a good one
id definitely have to try a chinese place with a name like that
or a mexican place called nacho business

[grumpei]

thats true, theyd probably be pretty good together
not sure if they offer that on their menu though

[grumpei]

yeah hes one of my fellow rookies
nice guy

good to know
ill let you know what i think of it after too

[cornets]

That only works if they don't announce locations...
I guess there's not much you can do with that

[grumpei]

yeah crepes only really have negative connotations pun-wise
theyd be better off switching to a different product

[cornets]

I think if the crepes are good enough the can get away with a bad name

[lastcomfort]

Maybe you can be the creator of Neapolitan Bonaparte and pioneer the dessert?

[grumpei]

theyre still sacrificing some potential customers though
not achieving their full success

[grumpei]

heh yeah
if i ever need a second career i'll have one lined up now

[lastcomfort]

Food trucks are very popular right now. And people already like it when ice cream comes to them!

[grumpei]

ice cream trucks have always been popular with kids at least
so thatll help drum up business

[tarotcards]

How about a seafood place called the Codfather?

[grumpei]

or an indian place called keep calm and curry on

[cornets]

You can't grow if you already hit your peak
I think it's a good thing!

[grumpei]

but theyve limited their peak to start with
if theyd had a broader appeal their peak could have been even higher

A pastry store called Pie Another Day
