This is so funny because I love to cook and have talked about opening a restaurant named . . . get ready . . . "A Place to Eat." Is that weird or what? And just to be clear, I do NOT own a restaurant.
Maybe someone else has the same name as you and owns that restaurant. Have you googled your own name yourself, or the name of the restaurant?

There are a few other people with my name, and a couple of them are in professions similar enough to be confused with me.
My name is very unusual--enough that people call us asking if we are related. I think there may be 200 people in the country with my same last name. Furthermore, they put it with my credential following, and there definitely isn't more than one of those.
