OP they’re apparently building one in Charlotte.

Auburn actually has some intelligence as that’s where the university is located.

Brilliant.

I must be stupid… I don't get the irritable bao

Irritable Bowel.

Believe it not OP, but plenty of native born Alabamians are exceedingly clever. And people from all over the US & the world live in Alabama.

[quote]The Irritable Bao in Alabama is owned by Whitley Dykes and his wife, Kunyu Li. They opened the restaurant in Auburn, Alabama, after returning from living abroad in China, where they met and married. The restaurant has quickly become a popular spot in the community, known for its unique bao and dumpling offerings.

Whitley is kind of cute.

Clever--because it sounds like "irritable bowel"? Why would you want to suggest that in a restaurant name? What am I missing.

A sense of humor?

Alabama is not Mississippi or Louisiana. It has universities and some industry.

No, R11, it's not clever, not funny and very gross. Let's call a menu Prixe Feces.

I agree with R10

My town had “Thai’d Up.”

Well, good for you, R13. Apparently, the customers don't think like you do, because the business is very good.

Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville doesn't.

I don’t see how reminding potential customers of explosive diarrhea would entice them into your restaurant.

R11 is correct

R13 I hope you start feeling better about life

That's the dumbest goddamn restaurant name I've seen year. Leave it to fucking Alabama to think that's clever.

In the South NO ONE says "bao" for bowel!

I still love that when I visited Phoenix, I saw a lesbian bar named "Boycott."

Best name ever!

There was a yarn store called "Crewel and Unusual."

It's a clever name but kind of disgusting for a restaurant.
