Chicagoland / Food Chain / Food & Drink The Money Shot: Rhymes With Yum
Posted by Whet Moser on 02.09.10 at 04:33 PM
You can retire the "bad restaurant name" contest forever:
Money Shot Chicago features a "full service" bar and "house-made desserts." Says a colleague: "dressing on the side, please."
The house special is a sandwich with an over-easy egg. Mmm! (In the PG sense.)
Update: Perhaps I spoke too soon; I had no idea the competition was so intense (I'm partial to "Crapitto's.")

No. This contest was won years ago. By a place near my old house in Houston called Backdoor Sushi.
So, is the logo supposed to look like someone jacked all over Charlie Brown's face?
I'm going with 'Toe Bang' for the dirty category and 'Hitler's Cross' for overall awfulness. But Money Shot is unbelievably terrible all the same
In keeping with the intimate vibe of the joint, the chef/owner only gives out his first name and poses in an unbuttoned flannel shirt, in front of a buncha bottles of booze, which, it appears, he's sampled for quality control no doubt...
I can't to stuff my face full at the Money Shot! For some reason, I think I will feel right at home.
Crapitto's already exists in Houston. Nice try. And MikeTan, your comment makes no sense. The fact that Roger Ebert tweeted that he would never patronize this place guarantees I'll make an appearance every time I'm in Chicago!
Screw the name, this place is really chill and kthey play great music, and the food is good and you can get drunk and not leave broke....my kind of place
