Ken-Taco-Hut

Ken-Taco-Hut
 n.— «It was called All ’n One because Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and KFC restaurants were all under one roof. But the official name didn’t last long with teen-agers. They soon nicknamed it the Ken-Taco-Hut and still call it that.» —“Its name doesn’t fly, but eatery stays” by Steve Everly Kansas City Star (Mo.) July 4, 1992. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
