“TAHOE JOE’S FAMOUS STEAKHOUSE”
Just when I thought my dream job coming up with ridiculous names for inconsequential things was pure fantasy, I learn that something called “Tahoe Joe’s Famous Steakhouse” exists. Though, its parent company is going bankrupt so perhaps absurd business names aren’t all they are cracked up to be (by me).

A close competitor that also has Minnesota roots is Baja Joe’s. A burger concept opened in an old Don Pablo’s in Columbus, Ohio but the Baja Sol restaurant chain. That didn’t work out either.
