When I was in Platteville, WI several years ago there was a restaurant with a rather unique name:
Pancho Steinberg's Mexi-Deli
Pancho's deli side was pretty good, but I don't recall ever having tried any of the Mexican cuisine. I don't know if the place is still there by that name, but I doubt it. A web search doesn't yield any hits, which means nobody is even talking about it.
Any oddly named restaurants you know, or knew, of?
Clark: Herbert Clark Hoover
David: Dwight David Eisenhower
Earl: James Earl Carter
Gamaliel: Warren Gamaliel Harding
Herbert: George Herbert Walker Bush
Howard: William Howard Taft
Jefferson: William Jefferson Clinton
Rudolph: Gerald Rudolph Ford, Jr.
Trick question: no middle name: Theodore Roosevelt, William McKinley
Sidney, Sigmund, Stephen, Steven: Included to provide distraction from Sidney.
Orvan, Valentine: Included to fill things out and avoid obvious Presidential middle name such as Delano (FDR), Fitzgerald (JFK), and Baines (LBJ) and simply S. (Harry S. Truman). I also left out Walker (George Herbert Walker Bush), Wilson (Thomas Woodrow Wilson and Ronald Wilson Reagan) and avoided any earlier than McKinley.
The bit about "Joe the Plumber" not really being named Joe as that was merely his middle name is quite silly. Consider Thomas Woodrow Wilson and John Calvin Coolidge.

For those who didn't know it and and didn't bother to look it up: John Sidney McCain.
John Who? McCain

Chances are you know Barack Obama's middle name as it has come up during the campaign. But never mind that. Without looking it up, do you know John McCain's middle name?
