I had wondered at the odd name. We have a gift card, and hope to go soon. Thanks. I’m glad to know a little of the history. I had wondered at the odd name. We have a gift card, and hope to go soon.

Ruth clearly did not hire a marketing consultant and just "went with it" back in the day, so I would say the sign follows in that tradition. She must have been a cool gal to have known. She threw spaghetti against the wall..but it stuck. Well, as far as the sign, I think the Ellen/Mike/Harold/Penelope format makes just as much sense as the varying font sizes and neon of reality.

It's like the most random shape of neon surrounding the letters. I guess the food must be good if people can overlook things like that-! Thanks for getting to the bottom of this, for those of us who also can't be bothered to read the company histories!
