Dirty Dick's Crab House
(a small chain with a couple locations in the Outer Banks in North Carolina)
Their slogan is "I Got My Crabs from Dirty Dick's"
I'm telling you, people, this is a family restaurant, with kids menus and such. You can also buy baby clothes (among other things) bearing said slogan. I went there with my parents a few years back. Odd.8/1/2006 -
