The Hungry Frog in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

There’s something undeniably charming about a restaurant named after a hungry amphibian. The The Hungry Frog is a cozy, modest diner located in a less-than-ideal part of Oklahoma City. Despite its location, this dinette offers some of the best burgers around. You'll get a burger, fries, and salad with their homemade garlic dressing, all of which is an absolute delight. The dining room is decorated with shelves and framed photos of frogs, and each table features a ceramic frog mascot. Of course, the diner serves frog legs, a specialty that might not be for everyone but certainly sets it apart. Unfortunately, like many small businesses, The Hungry Frog was a casualty of the pandemic and no longer exists, leaving its loyal customers with fond memories.

Ram Bharose: The Really Meaningful North Indian Restaurant

When a restaurant’s name is as mysterious as "Ram Bharose," you have to wonder what the true meaning behind the name is. 'Ram Bharose' is not a working name, but the restaurant has gained popularity based on its delicious North Indian cuisine. Located in Malviya Nagar on Krishna temple lane, this eatery serves up mouthwatering dishes that people come to enjoy every day. It’s the kind of place where you can sit back, relax, and savor the flavors without thinking too much about the unusual name.

My Wife's Hotel in Thrissur, Kerala, to Coimbatore

During a trip from Kerala to Coimbatore, we stumbled upon a hotel that was just opening. The name of this hotel was 'My Wife’s Hotel.' This name alone was enough to make us laugh out loud. Can you imagine the stories behind this name? It’s easy to imagine a scenario where a couple decided to open a hotel named after their spouse, or perhaps a hotel was named this way due to a misunderstanding or inside joke. Either way, it’s a name that is sure to make a lasting impression on anyone who hears it.

Butt Sweet Shop in Abu Dhabi, UAE

While "My Wife’s Hotel" was already a riotous name, the Butt Sweet Shop in Abu Dhabi, UAE, takes it to a whole new level of absurdity. This Pakistani eatery in Electra St. could have been the result of a mix-up between 'bathroom' and 'sweet,' or perhaps a witty play on words. 'Butt' in English slang can mean the bottom, bum, or ass, which is quite a contrast to the sweetness of desserts or treats. Additionally, 'Bhatt' is a common Pakistani surname, adding a layer of complexity to the name. It’s a place that would likely provide a unique experience, making for an unforgettable culinary adventure.

These restaurants and the stories behind their names serve as a testament to the creative abilities of the people who run them. Whether it’s a playful nod to a favorite animal, a meaningful tribute, or a quirky nickname, these names add a touch of humor and character to the dining experience. As we continue to explore new places and taste new foods, let’s keep our sense of humor and enjoy the laughter these names bring.
