Why in the world would somebody name an ugly, one story bungalow that looks like it was built in a day Akropolis?
Think about it, three guys, maybe Greek, maybe not, maybe women too, maybe not, are sitting around a table at another Greek restaurant, drinking ouzo while discussing the business plan and name of a soon to be opened Greek restaurant in the middle of nowhere. Nowhere east. The next „city“ to get the proper picture is Gumtow. Google it!
GREEK 1
Why don´t we just call it Taverna?
GREEK 2
Because this is not a name, „Taverna“! We can´t call a restaurant „restaurant“
GREEK 1
We could call it „Taverna Number One“ then.
GREEK 2
That sounds cheap, numbers always sound cheap, like 7/11, you go to 7/11?
GREEK 3
I love 7/11, how about we call it „Taverna 7/12“, it is simple and it would tell the people that we are open everyday for 12 hours, let´s say from 12 to 12, lunch and dinner, no breakfast!
GREEK 1
Nobody has a Greek breakfast.
GREEK 3
„Taverna 7/12“ is perfect.
GREEK 2
It is bullshit. Numbers always sound cheap.
GREEK 1
You said that before.
GREEK 2
Still true.
GREEK 1
It should be more romantic, like what people think if they think of Greece, something like „Taverna...“
GREEK 3
Not Taverna again.
GREEK 1
„Taverna Dionysos“
GREEK 2
We don´t want „Taverna“.
GREEK 1
„Dionysos´ Temple“, temple sounds like...
GREEK 3
„Akropolis“!
