baurant

bar + restaurant = baurant
(pronounced "bar" "aunt")

This term is applicable to any of the dozens of interchangeable bar + unspecific cuisine establishments that now pepper the American landscape: Applebee's, Bennigan's, Chili's, Houlihan's, TGI Friday's, etc. Note that a true baurant ends in "'s".

"What are you in the mood for?"
"I could really go for a chicken sandwich with honey mustard, bacon, and cheese."
"Baurant it is."
