A chain of restaurants with very special style. Each store is designed as a series of rectilinear buildings with doors in the centre. The left side of the building is a half croissant, the right side is a fishhead.

Inside, the tables nestle against curved bench seats: either croissants or fish, at random.

Menus are based on the posted ideas: e.g., surpies with battenberg icecream for dessert, accompanied by a suitable beverage... (there are loads of food combos on the menu, most of them truly disgusting. They are all available on the fishhead side of the complex).

Meals are served on special plates (all designed by Gianni Verfarmquist). The toilets are located through special doors: the ladies' is shaped like a po <groan>. Each room has twelve cubicles, set out in the shape of a clock.

The check comes on a tray molded in 2 halves: one shaped like a spoonful of custard, the other shaped like a rat's ass. When you pay your bill, if the service/food was good and you want to tip, you custard; if it wasn't and you don't, you rat's ass.

Once a week, there is an open mic session, where bakers can read poems or sing their parodies of popular songs in Bakeoki style, or Vogon poetry. At all other times, the background music is white noise.

There are also bonuses: any baker who posts an idea that hits 2.5 croissants that month gets a voucher for a free entree or dessert.

Soon to be opened: Halfbakery merchandise chain. "Gifts For People Who Think They Know Everything."

       Looks like you've got yourself an autoboner fools. Ah, the price of success!   

       Can we have the food skitter around the tables on motorised plates?   

       I'd also like to see my Giant Robot Chicken Soda Vending Machines installed at your establishments. Give me a call and I'll do you a deal. I've got a warehouseful of the bloody things.

       [Sleepygrass] Sausage inna Bun with Wow-Wow sauce ?

       Ah Gianni, my trouble-making cousin, twice removed.

       // twice removed. //   

       But each time has sneaked back in through the unlocked fire escape door in the kitchen.

       I was led to believe we were going to share our darkest, innermost secrets.
I cut Jay Leno off by mere inches as he drove a very, very, very rare, dare I say - *irreplaceable* car - and I did it on porpoise. Letterman's the man.

       [FJ] - //Ah Gianni, my trouble-making cousin// - does he have his own checkout in supermarkets?

       "Meals are served on special plates (all designed by Gianni Verfarmquist)."
Pah! Everyone knows the plates were invented by the French.

       With that title I thought it was going to be hb themed lingerie...

       A restaurant, surrounded by a fishbone, wrapped up in half a croissant!   

       UB, I think motorised plates would be cool, especially if they used the Flocking Road Cone AI. That way they'd all take their elves to the dishwasher when you were finished your meal. (Philosophical HB question: Do objects have elves or is that honour reserved just for people?)   

       Could I give half a tip for half-fast service?   

       And, BTW fools, I personally don't think I know everything, just half of it!

       Hah!
