If I were to ever start my own restaurant that served only crepes, I'd have a hard time picking between two names: "Planet of the Crepes" and "So Crepezy It Just Might Work". They both seem to say, "Yes, we dedicate ourselves to our craft, but we're also going to have a little bit of fun with this thing." Planet of the Crepes is probably a little bit better, because then you'd have a good excuse to chain up the customers when they arrived. The monkey waiters could harrass and oppress the patrons until there was a massive uprising and all of the customers escaped out into the parking lot. Way better then Chuck E Cheese, plus free appetizers for whoever squeals to the waiters about the planned escape.
Any there any more good crepe puns I'm missing out on here? I was tempted to also list "The Great Escrepe", which could be sort of an escape-from-POW-camp themed place. Could there really be two crepe restaurants dealing with imprisonment, though? Not only that, but Great Escrepe would also have the whole Nazi thing associated with it. That's kind of intense for Sunday brunch. The only people who'd be interested in that would be Michigan militia types, and I'm pretty sure they only eat Vienna sausages and deer blood. Collectively, they are not a fan of the crepes. It's cool though, because I was just brainstorming with that one.
Austin has a big pun-off every year in the Spring, and I'd be tempted to enter if I thought that "Names of Crepe Restaurants" stood a chance of coming up. Also, do you really think the Establishment would let me enter after reading the skills I busted out today? Keep propping up your paper champ, Austin Pun Society; we know who the choice of the people is.
