Food Please Explain the Name of this Restaurant to Me
Posted by Ned Lannamann on Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 9:37 AM
Spotted at 32nd and Hawthorne, in the old house that once was Chef Tucker's Patisserie, and before that, Calendula:
Belly Timber
"Belly Timber"? What kind of name for a restaurant is that? Is that a term loggers use for food? Someone enlighten me. I'm not from Oregon. Is it actually a common, everyday phrase that I have avoided coming into contact with until now?
I'm sure the restaurant's food will be very delicious. It just sounds strange, and splintery.
