I don’t know what was going on with my eyes and brain the other day, but as I drove past a sign that said “Thai Cuisine” I read it as “Tom Cruisine.” There were a lot of other things on the sign, because it was one of those they put up at strip malls listing all the establishments within, but still, kind of a weird trick played on the conscious me by the subconscious me.
Anyway, here’s a list of potential restaurant names if you’re going for a Tom Cruise or Tom Cruise-adjacent theme:
- Tom Cruisine
- Mission: Impastable
- You Had Me At Jello
- Risky Fizzness
- Born on the Fourth of Ju-Lunch
- Knead for Speed
- Tropic Thunder*
- Vanilla Sky**
- Cocktail***
- Dairy Maguire
- Minory Re-Torte
- Charlie Babbitt Ganoush
- You Can’t Handle the Fruit
- Bar and Away
- Pies Wide Shut
- The Last Samu-Rice
- Mission: Impastable 2
- All the Right Brews
- Top Bun
*Don’t even have to change the name here from the movie.
**Ditto the last one.
***You might want to ask your lawyers about all of these.
