Anticipating kushibo's response I went in and asked the guy behind the counter what the name meant. He asked me if I knew what homebred food was---I said yes but I lied---and he said it's like that for coffee. Whatever. The cafe itself is all right, and the guy working the counter was friendly. I was going to take some pictures of the interior, but when I got my camera out a couple chose, out of all chairs in the empty shop, the table right the hell in front of me.

It didn't hit me until the second time I read this post; but what the hell kind of question is, "Do you know what homebred food is?" That's a classic; and kudos to Brian for having the presence of mind to lie and say (I'm imagining David Letterman's voice:) uh, yes.
I vote for "Homeboy Coffee."
"Cream an' sugar wid dat, ma nigga?"
This is the funniest thing I've seen all day.
I wonder how it'll do. It's in a decent enough area---two blocks from Home Plus one way, two blocks from the "New Downtown" the other way. But, nothing seems to last long in that neighborhood. "Home Bred" replaced a hof last month. The bar above it was once a "Samba Samba" family restaurant. The nightclub across the street closed and became a pool hall. And the next-nearest coffee shop, one block north, closed today.
The widespread use of a language they don't understand is something I'll never, ever come to terms with. I mean---to quote a recent episode of South Park---. . . the fuck?
