pulp-fiction-diner

I’m sure at some point in your life, you’ve desperately tried to recall the fried chicken restaurant in Rocko’s Modern Life (”Chokey Chicken”), or the bizarro version of the Seinfeld coffee shop (”Reggie’s”), to no avail. Now you have a resource to turn to in those moments of desperation. The statistical database site StateMaster has a freakishly comprehensive list of fictional restaurants, which covers everything from old Nickelodeon cartoons to film.

Step off that ledge, dear reader. That drive-in place in the Wonder Years was called “Fatso’s”. You’re welcome.
