OK, this is kind of funny/interesting.
For work, I'm researching a chain of restaurants that do tableside grilled meats and stone pot dishes. It's got restaurants in Hawaii and Japan.
The Hawaiian locations call themselves "Korean BBQ." But the Japanese locations call themselves "Hawaiian BBQ." And as far as I can tell, their menus are exactly the same.
It reminds me pleasantly of the bit in James D. McCawley's Eater's Guide To Chinese Characters about how common it is to find Chinese-American restaurants whose English signs called them "Chinese food" and whose Chinese signs call them "Western food."
