Oddly named restaurant

[Hershmeister]

I was recommend this restaurant for a business dinner in Chicago. Somehow not sure they see the name quite the same way as I do.....

Zed's dead.

I'm going for the zed burger of course!

With extra maggots and black juices!

Not what I had in mind with the name but looks good.

I have to wonder to what the 'zed' in the name refers.  Of course, I believe that Canadians and some, other nationalities refer to the letter 'z' as 'zed' as in w, x, y, zed - which is probably where the idea of calling 'zombies' by the appelation 'zeds' came from in the first place, if I had to guess.  So the name of the restaurant could simply be Z451 - whatever in the heck that means.

'zed' does refer to the last letter of the alphabet and 451 is the temperature at which fire starts.

Ah, as in 'Fahrenheit 451' which refers to burning books.  Didn't think of that.

Or maybe that's the proper cooking temp of a zombie t-bone
