Around 20 years ago there were a couple of official Beach Boys restaurants in Southern California. My recollection is that they were called The Beach Boys Cafe. I think the first one was in Hermosa Beach. The second was right on the beach in San Diego, but it closed before I got around to checking it out.

You mean "before I round round, get around, I got around, to checking it out" ?

I really like Cheeseburger in Paradise because of its beachyness, and I don't even like Jimmy Buffet's music that much, so I welcome a Beach Boys restaurant. But they got it wrong in the press release, it's not "cars, surf, women", it's "cars, surf, girls[".

Were there not plans for a chain of Brian Wilson restaurants at one time, just in the past few years? I vaguely recall plans to open a Brian Wilson restaurant in the Orange County or LA area, with a few locations to follow after that. It don't remember what the name was supposed to be, though. I assume it never happened.

Right, I was gonna mention that. Brian Wilson's Surfin' Beach Party Restaurant. it was to be at the totally dire "GardenWalk" development in Anaheim, across from Disneyland. It was supposed to be the flagship location for a proposed chain but the whole thing seems to have fallen through. Not to play into tired stereotypes, but it's just such a Mike Love idea, it was weird seeing it attached to Brian.

Weren't there some Mike Love restauarants proposed at one time? I seem to remember something, but can't remember ever seeing anything about them actually opening.

It was going to be club Kokomo.
