I might just have to go to try the "Shrimp Dijon".

Kenny, I sometimes disagree with your posts, but this prurient comment is a different thing altogether. Well played.

I think at this point you need to be VERY CLEAR about what you're asking us to do.

My turn to almost lose a keyboard.

OK, this one got me to go to their website and look at the menu. Surely there would be some mustard in the sauce. Nope, description was pure "de jonghe."

de Jonghe ideed...but it must have some kind of "secret sauce"

The name kind of jumps out at you and hits you in the face.

I'm just glad it's not a Japanese Restaurant.

A dead horse dismembered.

I keep wanting to put each of the preceding posts in quotation marks, followed by: he ejaculated.

This thread is funny and all, but I just don't see many LTHers coming, err, going there.

The location is in the official community of West Ridge (see map). Bryn Mawr (5600 north) is the dividing line between Lincoln Square and West Ridge west of Rosehill Cemetary. While West Rogers Park is often sloppily applied to West Ridge, the area south of Devon seems more often to be called Northtown although parts use the more localized term Peterson Park. Real estate people would probably try stretching Lincoln Square to where this restaurant is if they thought they could get away with it.

I don't suspect there's any point to asking whether we've beaten this to death?

Can't stop this thread - I'm just getting my creative juices flowing.

Enough already with all the one-liners! My head's about to explode!

LMFAO!!! Funniest thread EVER!!!

Enjoy it while it lasts, soon as someone posts an actual review of the food at TMS the majority of the thread will disappear.

Enjoy,

After reading this Yelp review, it appears that the restaurant's name is no accident:

"One mishap at the bar: I ordered a Cincinnati Bow Tie and the waitress gave me a Donkey Punch."

Don't recommend that the faint of heart look either of those drinks up on urbandictionary...

Dammit, now my husband wants to go.

As the thread starter, I think I can safely say we've ribbed them enough (for our pleasure). I don't like the name and its connotation, but wish any new small business good luck.

The wife just asked if this is perhaps located next to Plan B.... now the second worse named restaurant in the city.

Cheers,

Bourbon

Please, don't anyone report an actual review. Don't spoil the fun!

The locked L2O thread used to be my favorite but now I think this one is. Do they serve a Cincinatti Hot Plate Special?

On the face of it, this place seemed to be ignorable, just another irreverent marketing ploy. But after the shill post, and reading about the "Cob salad," "shrimp dijon," and "cheese cake," I simply cannot contain myself. Invite me for misspelled and mispunctated menu items, will you? Boo, cake!

I cannot fathom why a shill would come here and attempt to disavow the frat-boyness of the Money Shot, when the drink menu clearly shows that is exactly the audience they are attempting to court.

Which brings me to wonder why West Rogers Park, and not, say, Wrigleyville?

Maybe because "there's no such thing as bad PR".

Perhaps they gave the restaurant an outrageous name for the same reason. And look, it worked - we're all talking about it!

Yup, we're all talking about it. But more in derision than anything else; how many folks who've posted to this thread do you think will actually stop by? The crowd they seem to be targeting, as a previous posted noted, seem to be more Wrigleyville than Rogers Park.

Are restaurants like The Money Shot succeeding in Wrigleyville? Semi-non-rhetorical question--there might be some, but I'm not aware of any.

Given the next sentence in the "review", I have to believe it was a joke, and not necessarily reflective of the actual menu: "Probably just working the kinks out. In sum, I was blown away and will certainly come again." Seems like Yelpers are just as eager to make the obvious jokes as LTHers..

Love that this thread is currently following the one on "Guilty Pleasures"...
