80's Cafe

[captain_slinky]

Okay everyone... Help Me! I want to open an 80's-themed restaurant. Lots of bright pastel colors, vintage arcade games, 80's music, and TV's showing reruns of everything from Diff'rent Strokes to Growing Pains 24-hours a day.

But what the hell type of food do you serve there that's 80's themed? In a 50's diner, you serve the only food that was available in the 1950's - Hamburgers. But what foods define the 80's?

bghsmith has been kind enough to suggest Crystal Clear Pepsi, Taco Pizza, and BBQ Chicken Pizza. All I have been able to come up with on my own is the Hostess "Choc-O-Licious" snack cake, washed down with a 16-ounce can of New Coke (C-c-c-c-catch the wave!)... there was to be *SOMETHING ELSE* that was specifically 80's, right?

Wasn't The 80's when the whole "Kraft CHEESE and Macaroni" war started?

Anyway... any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

dammit, i thought of something else last night, but now i've totally forgotten what it is. (pregna-brain!)

also, promise that at your restaurant, you'll have tv's everywhere, playing those 'don't drown your food' and 'watch out for the munchies' commercials .. and, of course, 'one to grow on'?

There will be 3 TV's going at all times in different parts of the restaurant. One will play Sitcoms and commercials, one playing Music Videos from that era, and one playing cartoons (which will be where you will find Schoolhouse Rock, The Munchies, and Don't Drown Your Food).
