    My mom got me to eat broccoli by telling me to pretend I was a dinosaur and they were tiny trees. I freaking LOVE broccoli thanks to that woman.

    I worked up at Universal every day and could still only tolerate eating in this place 3 or 4 times. After-work drinks were fun, though. IIRC, the bathroom mirrors had projection gags that turned your image into the Hulk (or She-Hulk, presumably). That could be my imagination, though.

    BTW some of the old Marvel theming is still on the walls behind the haunted maze that's now in that location.

    @Magicant: There was a lot of booze involved and this was the days before Digital Cameras where every shot had to count and for some reason have a person it it. Oh also, Iron Man doesn't have boobs.
    But yeah. I probably could've gotten much better photos.

    I'll have an order of Defender's Tenders, please.

    I remember when this started, and I was so sad it was in LA instead of NY. I wanted to eat there so badly!

    Is it weird that i've had a fantasy about a mortal kombat themed family restaurant for years? Scorpion's "Get Over Here!" With Scorpion holding a Pizza Pie and a Chef's hat, winking? And every thirty minutes two of the servers (all dressed like Mortal Kombat Characters) start fighting to the death. There's an arcade with all theMortal Kombat games. Subzero's Brain Freeze Margaritas, and Goro's Hand Tossed Pizza. It's been in a couple of sci fi stories I've written, whenever the characters are having lunch or a really dramatic conversation.

    @Byronotron: I used to work at a place called the Corvette Diner in San Diego, that was 50's-60's themed rock and roll diner, where the servers and bussers would dance (I only danced when it was reaaaally slow). Think of Jack Rabbit Slims from Pulp Fiction. When it was slow I would dream about how ridiculous this restauratn was, and I would dream up even more ridiculous ideas for family restaurants. Nothing beats Quarks bar at Star Trek The Experience though. RIP. That new Star Trek The Experience better have quarks or I'll fucking riot!

    @Byronotron: You actually..... wrote more than one story with dramatic lunches set in a Mortal Kombat restaurant?

    I don't even know what to say. I guess... maybe "keep away. Keep far away."?

    If after years of sub-standard toys, crappy cartoons and questionable Underoos from the House of Ideas, a place this awesome is considered a sell-out, I may have to fine tune my definition.

    Alright, stay tuned you guys. I'll put a couple pics from this place online. I'll scan them now if I can find them.
    It was the best I still have my Marvel Mania Plate and Beaker Shot Glass from it. So much fun.

    I'd like the Captain Hamerica Club sandwich. My friend will have the Scarlet-Wich with extra Vision sauce.

    Dr. Octopasta? Luke Cajun Catfish? Multiple Manicotti?

    The list is endless.
