When it comes to Chinese food, I\u2019m not particularly picky.\u00a0 I mean, let\u2019s be honest here, Chinese food in America is about as American as McDonald\u2019s is, so going to Royal China in Atlanta isn\u2019t going to be terribly different from Lucky Golden Buddha in Seattle or China King 3 in Oklahoma.\u00a0 Furthermore, I usually favor my Chinese food either delivered to my house so I can be lazy, or going to a buffet where I can stuff my face like a miserable fat fuck and regret it terribly later on in the day.\u00a0 There\u2019s almost no appeal at all when it comes to going to a Chinese restaurant where the food is not unlimited.<\/span><\/p>\n

Until I discovered the existence of this place<\/a>.\u00a0 Where the name of the restaurant alone is enough to elicit an opinion of \u201cno fucking way,\u201d and eventually \u201cI want to try this place out if they\u2019re so audacious to have such an iconic name that triggers so much nostalgia.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean seriously, when you\u2019re going to name your restaurant Double Dragon<\/em><\/strong>, you have to know you\u2019re going to be putting a bullseye on yourself from snarky gamers that are 30-years old and older at this point.\u00a0 You also have to know that you\u2019re seriously not trying hard to hide the fact that you\u2019re seriously infringing on some copyrights, from the name itself, to the logo they\u2019re using, but then again, it\u2019s hard to really nail down who owns the rights to the franchise these days; so maybe there\u2019s no concerns that Technos or Atlus or whomever develops and publishes the game is going to bother coming after them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seriously, the logo could be slapped onto an NES cart and look like a legit edition to the series, it\u2019s so blatantly based on the video game franchise.\u00a0 The dragons are even the fucking colors of Billy and Jimmy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless, a Chinese restaurant in Atlanta named Double Dragon<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 I think that might be kind of racist, but the game is a Japanese development featuring white guys named Lee, and dragons are so very prominent in Chinese culture, so it too is hard to really nail down.\u00a0 But I am most definitely piqued, and it\u2019s now on my list of places that I would like to try.\u00a0 If anything at all, this is kind of the closest thing I might ever see to restaurants named after video games, like I often hope to find an Indian restaurant called Yoga Fire.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
