“Famous”

Last weekend, while visiting San Diego, I passed a place called Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern. From this, I can only infer the following:

  1. Jimmy started a restaurant called Jimmy’s American Tavern
  2. Many people came to it, and started talking about it
  3. When people came to the Jimmy’s they were unsure if it was the Jimmy’s they had heard about
  4. In order to stem confusion, Jimmy renamed his establishment in order to reflect its newfound fame
  5. Everything was much clearer

Otherwise, how else would Jimmy know it was going to become famous?
