MARKETING: What’s My Tagline?--Memorable Restaurant Slogans

By Christine LaFave, Associate Editor -- Restaurants and Institutions, 12/2/2008 11:17:00 AM

Any discussion of catchy restaurant slogans would be remiss without a mention of Atlanta-based Hooters’ timeless "Delightfully tacky, yet unrefined” and even the more-recent classic “Life is short. Stay awake for it,” from Minneapolis-based Caribou Coffee. But strokes of marketing genius, of course, aren’t limited to national chains. Here, a collection of lesser-known greats.
