Scottsdale, AZ has a new restaurant, with a deliciously "hilarious" name (via Seadogs and the AZ Tribune, though I can't find a direct link):
The name of a new restaurant in Scottsdale is stirring up some trouble. The Las Vegas-based Pink Taco Mexican Restaurant is scheduled to open its second location in downtown Scottsdale in June.
Nearly half a dozen people in the upscale city recently expressed their objection to the name, claiming it's a derogatory slang term for a portion of the female anatomy.
In late April, the city received four e-mails, three of which bore no names, objecting to the restaurant's name.
One of those e-mails stated: "The City of Scottsdale has a very fine reputation around the world. Let's keep the standards high. Let's let what plays in Vegas stay in Vegas."
Scottsdale's reputation, like that of most affluent suburban communities, suffers from its embrace of white-boy gangster wannabes and excessive materialism (c.f. the works of Jim Mahfood and the recently released R.V.). The New York Times described it as "The Beverly Hills of the Desert," which I guess was intended as a compliment.
If Houstonians have to put up with similarly droll names for bars and restaurants (the inimitable "Fumducks" and "Richard Head's" being the only ones I can recall right now) Scottsdale can survive The Pink Taco.
And "I Survived the Pink Taco" would make a great t-shirt.

I'd buy one.
Always nice to see Chuck D. make a title appearance.
I just have to ask, any idea what the decor is like?
Well, basshole, as long as the drapes match.....

Has everyone finally forgotten Bob Crane's murder, and all the salacious details around that?
I would definitely spring for the t-shirt, though....
