People Are Dying to Eat Here (Hah!)

Perhaps taking a page from the Pringles inventor who was recently buried in a can of said dehydrated chips, a Ukranian restaurant is shaped like a coffin on the outside, and boasts a coffin theme inside.

The coffin restaurant, called Eternity, is the work of a funeral parlour in the town of Truskavets, in the west of the country near the Polish border.

The undertakers hope that their restaurant will be confirmed as the world’s biggest coffin, attracting tourists to a region best known for its mineral-rich bathing waters.

“Thirty cubic metres of pine have been used for the construction,” said Andri, one of those behind the new enterprise, ahead of its recent opening.

“It’s our director Stepan Pyrianyk who had the idea. He loves his work and reckons the project will bring tourists to Truskavets.”

I reckon it might, if anything could. More here.

Good Yelp thread on bad restaurant names here. Nigeria apparently boasts a Mama Cass Restaurant–scroll to “eating out”–which might be even more morbid (enjoy your ham sandwich!) than the Ukranian hot spot.
