And, for reasons I can't explain, our accountant suggests this route for tax purposes. None the less, our restaurant is a high end quick service style, featuring artisanal pizzas and salads, using organic, and local produce, meats and ingredients. The corp. name doesn't necessarily have to have any relation to the restaurant. Our first corp is called Simon6toes, INC. This is in reference to our cat of 16 years that passed years ago, his name was Simon and yes, he had six toes.
Was the cat orange and white? I had an orange/white cat who had six toes.

High Heat - clever use of bb and food

Eat'em where they ain't - nice twist

You guys are great, can't wait to share all of these with the wife. The winning name should get a free meal if/when that person is ever in Denver.

Actually I spelled it wrong. Its an old E90-3 joke from this longtome net54 lurker. It should have read hofnlan:

The corporate name is just used for legal documents and the general public will not be privy unless they really want to pry.

SO, i would love to hear what you got. If I use your name, you will win... Nothing! But, you can have the satisfaction of knowing you are one clever person. ;)
Jeff,
The name of your Corporation could be " One Man In". I have always believed Shoeless Joe was not involved in the Black Sox scandal during the 1919 World series. (Based off his performance, which was stellar) We are all familiar with the baseball words "Eight Men Out", so why not swing the other way, put your support behind Joe in a clever, and a bit ironic way!? Would be especially a good idea if your Corporation is only you. (One Man...) Anyway... I came up with this idea while trying to figure out what to call my Fantasy team. I imagine a few in my fantasy league will get the play on words, and many gloss right over it, but that is ok. That's the point. Baseball, Shoeless Joe, One Man In. ;) --- Joe should be in the Hall!

Wow!!
 
What an awesome response!!! You guys are great, thank you for all the great suggestions. The only problem now is which one to choose. I'm leaning towards the baseball/food choices. A decision will be made on Sunday night. This is to much fun to read, we have to keep it going through the weekend.

Not related to baseball, but I had a case years ago against a company called Pitard Holdings Ltd. unfortunately we settled, because I was looking forward to my submissions (after a no doubt brilliant cross examination by me) to show that the witness had been hoisted by his own pitard in his testimony

in 1999, a partner and I organized a very small real estate company which had only really one purpose which was to own the property our business operated in while allow us to own the property independently of the business. Because of this, we named it Ground Zero Development. After 2001, it was not such a clever name.

Patrick
After much contemplation, I have finally selected a winner. I wanted to wait and announce the new corporate name, after it was officially registered. (I was actually surprised that it was available). Congratulations to Patrick, HIGH HEAT INC is the podium winner.

There were so many awesome suggestions, thank you to everyone that participated. Patrick, if you are ever in Denver, please allow me to treat you to a free meal.

Thanks again to everyone, your ideas and cleverness had me laughing and always in anticipation on the next post.
