Theres a Yoshi Steakhouse and Sushi bar near where I live (down here in Florida). Place always cracks me up since the o in Yoshi is a giant picture of Yoshi and an egg.

I have no idea how they get away with this or if they have Nintendo's approval or whatever. Cracks me up everytime I drive by though.

I just looked it up in Arabic and I found the one in Egypt instead. Named after Half-Life too.

This is it from the inside:

Garry, you magnificent son of a bitch. Valve is clearly having a global ARG, and the first clue is in Saudi Arabia. This is definitely a clue that HL3 is going to have Middle Eastern aesthetics. Think about it. HL2 was greatly inspired by eastern European aesthetics.
