OK, so your assignment is to come up with a fictitious restaurant and design a menu around it. Themed restaurants aren't new. When we lived near Nashville(mid 80s), my wife and I (before children) used to joke about going to the "trendy-restaurant-of-the-week" as new ones, it seemed, popped up like toadstools after a rain. It has become so prevalent, that the Onion (satirical "news" site), posted a story that indicated that the last unthemed restaurant in the U. S. had become themed.
Digging around on the web this morning, I found an article (http://tinyurl.com/6erlt5) about the 15 most unusual themed restaurants in the world. Some of these are so bizarre, that I sincerely hope that they are the most unusual in the world. Some of them are such that I think simply thinking of going there would cause you to lose your appetite.
On the more serious side, here's an article (http://tinyurl.com/58kqdc) that talks about why themed restaurants fail (spoiler alert: it's about the food! Duh.).
And, finally, here's a short article (with links to restaurants) with a list of themed restaurants and which have failed and which are still open.
