I never thought "Acme" was a good name for anything upscale, let alone a restaurant. I always just picture vats of simmering coyote parts, and sticks of dynOmite.

I always thought that it would contain lots of wooden crates and dust.

I know you nerds know NOTHING about the real game of baseball, or any other athletic endeavor requiring teamwork under physical stress.

The Wile E. Coyote connection ignored, it also sounds too much like “acne”, which just isn’t a very appetizing thought.

Warm pus is a delicacy in some cultures…

Too pricey!!!

reasonably priced food + cheap alcohol = more people

It has been hard to fill 330 seats in the off season.

Gee, who could have predicted that in a restaurant situated directly in a ballyard?

Utter frustration and futility.

Harder in this economy, anyway.

OT and as a PSA: the Build A Bear Workshop also isn’t coming back next year.

If you can get 3:2 on a headline of "Giants Pitcher Assaults General Manager" at some point this year, take it.

Hopefully there will be more room for drinking beer before games. Bar area is so packed in there

I always found the Chophouse to be overrated and overpriced anyway. The bar is dismal, as well.

I’ll check out what comes in next but I’m not expecting anything great.

I went in the door but only to use to entrance to the ball park.

I actually thought the food was great. It was pricey, but fab. Actually my second favorite restaurant in the City (high price segment) next to Farallon.

I had a duck gnocci there that was really lackluster. I didn’t care much for the other foods I had there.

Just call it Baked

and set it up as a ritzy nightclub with velvet rope and skinny ho’s from Zito’s collection of pictures

Us too

Had a couple of mediocre meals there, but overall we really enjoyed it. Best Manhattans I’ve had were from there.

No, really, I have updated my blog this year: http://skaldheim.livejournal.com/tag/baseball

Best Manhattans I’ve ever had were at Perilla, restaurant founded by Top Chef winner Harold Dieterle… brandy-soaked dried cherries, none of this maraschino stuff.. mmmmm

Utter frustration and futility.

Of course, that was in Manhattan…

The first place there, 24, wasn’t bad. I heard nothing but bad things about ACME (and not from Wile E. Coyote).

LOL SFGate commenter, Part Eleventy
Turn the place into a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant and/or a MacDonalds and you will have a gold mind. It’s a no brainer.

Forget the “gold mind” part…seriously, how hard is it to correctly spell the name of the world’s biggest fast-food chain? It’s the little things like this that make me lose my will to live.

Forgetting the misspelling, there is a McDonald’s one block away unless that poster means a different “MacDonalds”.

Coming to America

They actually filmed that in a Wendy’s in Elmhurst, Queens, a few blocks from my house. Never got a glimpse of Eddie or Arsenio, although pictures of them are on the wall there to this day.

No Edgar, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the idiot that plays you

We went there a ton early on but when they couldn’t keep it open until after the games,
we kind of gave up on them.
