A Dining@Large contest
Over on Midnight Sun, Erik Maza has the goods on a new project going into the old Canton Arts and Entertainment space.
The space will be divvied up, apparently, into an Irish pub and a BBQ restaurant; the folks behind this project are involved with Delia Foley's over in South Baltimore.
Someone there must have a jones for James Joyce - the Irish pub is set to open on Bloomsday, June 16, will be named Finnegan's Lake.
The BBQ restaurant, though, doesn't have a name yet.
So, a contest:
Come up with a literary name for the complementary BBQ restaurant.
The winner will receive a copy of Weber's Time to Grill.
Deadline is Midnight Tuesday.

Some unique BBQ was ultimately served at the Whistle Stop Cafe in "Fried Green Tomatoes".

I would call it "Yes". Of course you have to know the significance of that word coming from Molly Bloom.

As a complete tangent - really?
This city is in need of another Irish pub? Well color me green.
It seems you can't swing a filleted leprechaun carcass anywhere on the east side without hitting a Guinness tap.
Those are just my two pingins, natch.
Go on about your barbecue-related alliteracy.

Publiners
(But would people pronounce it correctly, as Pub-lih-ners, or incorrectly, as Pub-lye-ners? Also, the name has already been used by a Norwegian folk-rock group, according to Wikipedia.)

Really? Those are your mispronunciations (of a made-up word)? I would immediately call it Pube-Liners. Ew.
Eat ,Pray, Love our fall off the bone BBQ
Makes no sense at all. Points off for uttering the name of that execrable piece of dung book/movie.

MC, I tried to make that same sort of fryed green tomaters BBQ at Finnegans Wake but it didn't go well. At first he disappeared, and then later when we added a splash of whiskey he woke up. Now that was a wake!
