8 Restaurant Signs That Will Make You Lose Your Appetite (PHOTOS)

There are times you crack open a menu and find something that sounds a little unappetizing. More ambitious restaurants, like the ones in this photo collection, can turn "unappetizing" into an entire promotion. Here are a few signs you'd rather not see as you enter an eating establishment. To view more funny signs (or submit your own), check out www.signspotting.com. Those chosen to appear in the Signspotting books get $50 and there's a Round-The-World plane ticket for the photographer of the best sign on the year.

You have not tasted egg drop soup until you have tried My Dung egg drop soup.

Somewhere I have a photo of a Mexican restaurant in Redwood City, CA.
They had a sign in the window advertising "Flatus" instead of "Flautas"
I wish I could find that photo!

There's a Thai place in my neighborhood called Phuket. I'm sure they named it after the city, but....

That angus/anus joke is lazy. You just take the g and squeeze the rest. I'd like to see someone do some work and form a new sentence with the existing letters. Even that is easy, there's plenty of anagram generators on the internet.

Been a long time since I had a good anus burger. They have to be cooked just right.
