Greg Norton's restaurant!
 
http://www.thenortonsrestaurant.com/The%20Chefs.htm
He still has the moustache, but there's no mention of Husker Du. Wouldn't that attract customers?

sonicl 03.12.2007 06:04 AM

I think that Husker Du is something that he prefers to leave in the past.

ZEROpumpkins 03.12.2007 06:53 AM

Hmm yeah, but it's still worth mentioning.

sonicl 03.12.2007 06:58 AM

They seem keen to promote the restaurant for its food, rather than one of it's proprietor's past.

Pookie 03.12.2007 07:01 AM

He hasn't always been so keen to forget his past.

His many previous efforts at opening restaurants were complete failures:

The Flexibler Fryer
What's Going On (Inside My Oven)
Flip Your Fig
Too Much Spice
No Reservations

And his bars didn't do much better:

Whatcha Drinkin'
Drink Turns To Blue

Good luck this time Greg!

You're not taking this very seriously, are you, Pookie?

Pookie 03.12.2007 09:00 AM

Well, you say that, but I'm now feeling inspired to open a punk fish 'n' chip shop, and call it the Flexible Fryer. All staff will be fat, ugly, and wear flannel shirts.

Must.... resist... insult...

sonicl 03.12.2007 09:03 AM

Sorry, are they cheesecloth?

Pookie 03.12.2007 09:06 AM

I only buy 100% nylon.

sonicl 03.12.2007 09:07 AM

Are you sure? Your trousers look polyester to me.

Pookie 03.12.2007 09:09 AM

Sorry, I should have said 100% nylon shirts.

Of course polyester for the trousers. How else will you get the shiny look after ironing them?

He always reminded me (appearance-wise) of the chef guy from apocalypse now because of the moustache.but now the fact that hes actually a chef blends him even more with it.

king_buzzo 03.12.2007 12:54 PM

where is it?

CHOUT 03.12.2007 01:47 PM

It's on the Wisconsin Minnesota border near Redwing MN

Greg Norton is indeed in another band again, by the way.

CHOUT 03.12.2007 02:23 PM

Here's his new band, playing with some other excellent musicians from MN.

this thread got me thinking of restaurants he coulda named:

Something I Ate Today
Girl Who Eats on Hamburger Hill
How To Cook A Cat
Don't Wanna Know If You Are Hungry
Makes No Cents At All
Devour & Conquer
Could it be the bun?
Too Much Spice(that was too easy)

The Gang Font is pretty good. Good to see him still active & doing something interesting.
