There was a 1994 movie called "Silence of the Hams" with Dom Delouise.

take a hint from Slows. The most popular bbq joint in the area. (I am from the Det area too) very simple name. Dont go for a gimmicky name Motor City Smoke is ok, but it might get confused with Memphis Smoke in the Royal Oak area |

If you a Google search for any names you are considering you may find they are taken elsewhere and may be trademarked. Pig 'n Out comes up with several hits and may fall into that category.

I'm sure everyone "gets" the association, it's just not a pleasant one when thinking of food. It would certainly turn me away, especially if you were thinking of serving Fava Beans.
If you are having this big of a disagreement over the name, I would question the partnership choice.

The silencing of the lambs was her over coming deep mental trauma caused by the death of her parents and subsequently the lambs that were being slaughtered (the death of her innocence).
Are you willing to play "slaughter house music" and put "tuck-meat" on the menu? If you are willing to go that far... then it is a good name. A lot of people will already associate the joint with these things. |

I absolutely would NOT refer to that movie. I'd not want it associated in any way to a restaurant. A cannibal? Disgusting. Bad, bad idea. You asked for opinions.......

My first thought as well before I even read the post. It would not tempt me to go there.

My vote is Motor City Smoke. You may even want to consider adding BBQ to further define what the name represents.

I like Pig N Out. A great way to convey a carry out business.
As for any reference to Silence of the Lambs...stay very far away from that. As others have said it would make a funny comp team name, but for s business you want to avoid any and all controversy. I'm a very easy going and hard to offend person, and I wouldn't eat at Silence of the Hams.

Restaurant names (even the carry-out kind) should have names that are short, sweet, descriptive, and roll off the tongue for word-of-mouth transfer. The Hams name, while somewhat witty, should only be used as a competition group name...not a restaurant. The only name that really fits the mold is Pig N' Out (I would leave off the 'BBQ', but that's just me). It's short, sweet, very descriptive of what's inside, and rolls off the tongue like so much honey. A great name that shouldn't be messed with.

The movie reference is a bad idea...... Keep it simple and don't get too cute is how would roll.
