Nitro Grill seemed like standard casual dining stuff, like a wrestling-themed TGI Fridays.

Pastamania's menu is too vague and emphasizes building your own over specific entrees. Food court eating midwesterners who try to mix and match their own pasta are mostly going to get the blandest poo poo. And what, exactly, are those veggies? They needed a list of fully-described entrees like Hulk's Power Pasta first and the mix and match second.



At the time, the FDA were pushing carbs and starches as the major component to healthy eating. Then it turns out not everyone processes gluten the same way. OOPS.

I don't think that failing to offer gluten-free menu items would be in Bleacher Report's Top 10 Reasons Hulk Hogan's Pastamania Closed in Less than a Year. Really, the Hulkster was just ahead of his time. These days you can't throw a brick without hitting a chain restaurant offering huge portions of lousy pasta.

At the time, Pastamania only lasted a few months. Today Noodles & Company is succeeding with fast casual pasta. Restaurants just have to pretend to be healthy by the current trends but Pastamania couldn't even put out a competent menu.

I wish a hall of fame/restaurant would happen and it's so frustrating to think they blew the one chance on an expensive location and management that stole from the company.

The only way a side of pasta works is if were called Brutus "The Barber" Beefaroni.

You have to admire them for going all-in on the pasta. Everything except the bread and salad is pasta. No chicken nuggets and french fries on the kids' menu, even. What, little Hulkamaniac, you don't like pasta? Too bad, say your prayers and eat your vitamins Hulkaroni.

For that matter, I don't know why they took the nWo name out of the cheesecake. Why? Kevin Nash already had two menu items. Is it possible that even for the dessert menu, the nWo was just...too...sweeeet?

It really does feel like they just settled for whatever people threw out during a one-off, five minute brain storming session. A few of them are kind of cute--I'd definitely have ordered the DDB while getting drunk on WOOOO! cocktails.

I doubt Nelson's Famous Ribs - half or full - would have made it past a five minute brain storming session (which wrestler is Nelson?) and it's my favorite thing on the menu.

And they don't even have a Tequila Sunrise!
