Re: Durban's Buny Chow

SurfnSpear,
I don't see that as an insurmounable problem. Have they trademarked Bunichow, Bunnichau, Bunichau, Bunnychau, etc.? I'll bet they haven't. Personally, I'd start up a kiosk called something like Durban's Own, the Kurry Kings and use one of the bunnychow varients to describe the dish but keep it all in lower case to avoid bringing unfriendly attention from solicitors.

Years ago, I encountered a small storefront restaurant, about kiosk size, called the Chili Shack. It had everything going for it except its location and we all know that can be the most important part of all. He served either three or four chili conconctions in increasing levels of spice, had sawdust on the floor, bar stool and tables and served his chili in either paper bowls or, similar to the bunnychow, in tortillas fried into cones. If the silly fellow had placed his business near a large college campus, he'd have made buck! If he had then franchised his operation and put one next to every college in the state, he'd have been the next Ray Kroc. Think about this, think very, very hard.
