Movie production peons spent the wee hours of Monday morning turning a Boston bistro into an “authentic Irish cantina” called “Pancho McDougal’s.” (Not for the hell of it, but for the sake of a Dane Cook project. We consider the former a better reason.) They wanted to conjure up the most unromantic place imaginable to take a date:
For one day only, the Beehive served up corned beef enchiladas and dressed the staff in black T-shirts with a shamrock/Mexican tricolor logo, with “Pancho’s” motto — “Where Every Day is St. Patrick’s Day of the Dead” — emblazoned on the back.
Sounds like they met their goal. And since Cook is to Irish folks what Carlos Mencia is to Mexicans, it’s a match made in shitty gag heaven.

guess what? there are real restaurants out there with similarly miscengenated names. examples i’ve seen with my own irish eyes: carlos o’ kelly’s (waterloo, ia) and jose o’shea’s (lakewood, co).
dunno if they serve corned beef enchiladas, though. shudder
