Why Bakersfield?

There are seven "Bakersfield" restaurants in seven U.S. cities. The one pictured above is in Pittsburgh, Penn. Nashville has one. Bakersfield, Calif., the city, developed a reputation as "The West Coast Capital of Country Music." I expected names such as Buck Owens and Merle Haggard to be found somewhere as part of their menu. Instead, there are salads named "Johnny," another called "Loretta," and a third one named "Willie." That's it. A restaurant can chose its menu and name as it likes, I realize. But, in this case, why Bakersfield? What's the draw? I could go for some Haggard Hash.  -- Bryce
