    Really now, they could have at least switched the order of the lettersโ€ฆthen it could be OUR place. David & Val!!!

    I donโ€™t know, I hear itโ€™s pretty good.

    Order the crab salad.

    One place in the States that I canโ€™t understand the appeal of is the Cheesecake Factory. Why anyone would want to patronize a restaurant thatโ€™s equating its food to mass produced assembly line crap is beyond me, but maybe I donโ€™t understand because Iโ€™m not that crazy about cheesecake in the first place.

    Mmmโ€ฆ the many flavors of venereal disease. You wouldโ€™ve thought theyโ€™d think or something more appetizing.

    I burst out laughing when I saw this, it may be that if a French person saw a restaurant named M&V in the US, theyโ€™d have the same reaction. ;)

    • kevin

    I have a burning desire to go there.

    There used to be a Chinese restaurant by my parents house called South Wind, the source of endless amusement to my 7-year old, and hell, who are we kidding, current self.

    • Alisa

    the picture made me giggle.
    Mattโ€™s comment got a laugh. :)

    • Veronica

    Iโ€™ve read interesting things about this restaurant. Iโ€™m itching to try it.

    • Ellen

    If that restaurant was in Chinatown, it would be called โ€œNumber One VDโ€ or โ€œVD A-OK!โ€ or โ€œVD 2000.โ€

    (Iโ€™m Chinese so perhaps I get a pass at making fun of own my race?)

    FUNNYโ€ฆespecially Kevinโ€™s โ€œburning desireโ€ to go there. :0)

    • Sarie

    There used to be a mom-and-pop restaurant in my hometown called โ€œRalphโ€™s.โ€ It didnโ€™t last long.

    And I never understood the naming of that now closed cafeteria-style restaurant Furrโ€™s.

    Anything furry would make me ralph, for sure.

    VDโ€ฆthe gift that keeps on giving.

    • Jessica

    Mmm, cheeeeeesy.

    • Steamy Kitchen

    And they play this song in the lobby:

    • kayenne
    • krysalia

    would you please explain what is VD for your non native english speakers ? :)

    I understand from the comments that this is some kind of disease, but thats all.

    • Elizabeth

    krysalia,
    VD stands for venereal disease, i.e. sexually transmitted diseases.

    How proud I am that this ends up being my first comment.

    • micha

    try the hot dogโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ..;)

    • Jennifer

    ah, the other comments beat me to both an โ€œitchingโ€ and a burning reference.

    Darn.

    Maybe the name STD was already taken?

    • Lesley

    Oh that is precious.

    • krysalia

    Elizabeth> oh thanks ! i see perfectly then :)

    • Deborah Dowd

    Do you thinnk it has a shot of being good?

    • David

    Well, thanks to you guys, I no longer having a burning desires to go thereโ€ฆ

    • Fabrice

    Well David, you would be wrong to let these shameful jokes deter you and sully this establishmentโ€™s good name. In fact i hear itโ€™s a pretty good seafood restaurant and the clams there leave quite an impression !

    Sorry, couldnt resist.
