I heard that last night. It sounds like an interesting restaurant but I really hate the name! It makes it sound like a kid's place. :roll:

I think it reflects Kevin's sense of humor pretty well (but I don't disagree with you!).

If he's thinking along those lines for a name he's better off going with "La Vache" which means "The Cow." Or perhaps even "Oh la Vache" which is a play on words meaning soemthing like "OMG" or "Holy Cow."

I actually thought of "La Vache" myself but actually really love the idea of "Oh la Vache", the matter how you translate it it's a great expression and much more interesting than what the name presently is!

I kinda hate the name too, but the guy's apparently a marketing genius, so maybe it'll grow on me.

Remember that Kevin earned his name in PR (and, I assume, a fortune) for, among other things, "Got Milk?" :lol:

Nothing works quite like a French word (even 'Le') in a restaurant's name to keep away the hoi polloi.

Sounds like it will be a good concept, but Le Moo really rubs me the wrong way. I know it is meant to be funny, but my visceral reaction was, " woah, that is so stupid, I might not even go."

I don't care what they decide to name it as long as it's good. OTOH,I kinda like "Grumpy Cow", but that might lead to some legal issues.

Come on guys! Really? Le Moo is cheeky enough to become HOT, and what I'm seeing about it, it's going to have the guns to fire for it! Kevin is known for taking something plain & bland and turning it into awesome! You can't get into the Anchor for Sunday Brunch without a reservation, and usually on most evening either. That kind of 'infusion' in that neck of the woods would be a welcome change, so cut him some slack!

All I'm sayin' is give the guy a chance and don't let cheeky scare you away without trying!

Cheers!
