A pair of San Francisco Bay Area restaurateurs were all set to open their macaroni and cheese specialty restaurant with the name Little Mac when a phone conversation with legal counsel for McDonalds derailed their plans. It seems the burger giant doesnt take kindly to restaurants that use Mac or Mc in their names, citing brand infringement.
Rather than fight, the mac and cheese entrepreneurs, Erin Wade and Alison Arevalo, have put a call out for help in finding a new name.

I have tried the BK knockoff of the McDonalds Egg McMuffin.
Not bad. The sausage is tasty. The egg is some awful looking pre-formed strip, but I never eat the egg anyway, and BK’s is easier to remove than McD’s. So it works for me.
Not sure about their muffin though. It looks like an English Muffin, kinda tastes like an English Muffin, but it has a spongy texture, closer to a bun. Jury is still out on that part.
Mickey Cheese
Noodler’s Cheese
Cheese’s Noodle
Noodles & Cheese
Noodles R Us (well, maybe not...)
Pasta the Cheese Please
Cheedles & Noose
Chac & Meeze
Wow so if you have a mac or Mc name you can’t use it under Mc D’s rules? I don’t think they can trademark that?
Tuna, salmon, hot dogs, italian sausage, meatballs and even chicken (or something that tastes like chicken) are some other things to add. Yum.
I got a letter from a former employer hinting at taking action because I used “Multi” in the name of my business. I trashed the letter and I never heard another word. I was still using the name when they went out of business.
