Bait 'n Switch Dining, LLC: a series of restaurants with outrageously stereotypical names that serve a completely different style of cuisine than the name implies. (self.shitty_million_dollar_ideas)

For example:

La Fiesta (Thai)

Mamma Mia's (ramen and poke bowls)

Golden Dragon (BBQ pit)

Kyoto Express (hand-tossed pizzas)

Café Blanc (shitty Subway knockoff)

Bonus points to have multiples of the same restaurant name in the same cities with wildly different menus

Or multiple with the same/similar names where one is actually really amazing and the other is using cheap ingredients and putting them together poorly.

mamma mia's isn't mislabeled, ramen is just wet spaghetti

This is such a shitty idea. I wish I had a million dollars to help get it off the ground. I would be eating at these places weekly.
