We had a place called Death By Chocolate a few years ago. It was insane (in a good way), everything was made of chocolate: chocolate butter on chocolate toast, etc.
The business didn’t last long – don’t know why.

During my junior year in high school a group of guys in my English class went to the Heart Attack Grill. One of them finished a quadruple bypass – plus fries – and with all the hubub of being wheeled out and whatnot he hadn’t noticed that he never paid! I still don’t understand how teenage boys can eat so much…

yes but the Carpathian Mountains, where the castle is, stretch over romania and the ukraine as well as a few other countries.

Dracula’s Castle, or Bran Castle, is in Romania, not Ukraine. Oh, and it’s worth noting that Dracula’s Castle was never a home for Dracula, or Vlad the Impaler. It was just where Bram Stoker’s book took place.

So long as the food is good, what difference does it make how the place looks? :-)
I’ve never been to one but I did eat in the Vampire Room at a restaurant in Los Angeles called The Stinking Rose. Everything’s made with garlic and tastes great.

I second that! I’m going to try to use it, too.

My favorite death themed establishment is Six Feet Under, in Atlanta, Ga (in historic Grant Park). You can get a cold beer, a dozen oysters and gaze across the street into beautiful Oakland Park Cemetery.

The Vortex Bar and Grill, also in Atlanta (in Midtown and Little 5 Points) has a burger called the “Coronary Bypass Burger” (sirloin burger w. a fried egg, 3 slices of cheese, and 4 slices of bacon) and the “Double Bypass Burger” – which is the “Coronary Bypass” – but substituting two grilled cheese sandwiches for the buns. Yummy. Oh!And you walk through the mouth of a giant skull to enter the restaurant.

I’ve been to the Heart Attack Grill, and it’s really only worth one visit for the novelty. The fries were bland, the burger was just ok, and they were both waaay overpriced for such mediocre food. The nurses are friggin’ hot though. The humorless PC police who tried to get the restaurants shut down just because they wore sexy nurse outfits need to get a life and learn to laugh.

While an interesting article, I am most impressed by your use of the word “kerfuffle”. Perfect. I think I will see if I can weave that into conversation today.

I came across a wonderful beer hall in Brussels, Belgium, named (IIRC) ‘a la Morte de Subite’ – Sublime Death.

And it was … what great beer!
