An alternative to the butter-flavoring cineplex lounge.

With the announcement that Mark Wahlberg and his brothers are opening a burger joint called Wahlburgers, I’m having visions of a new trend in cineplexes around the world.

Why not clear the theater lobby air of that yellowish haze that wafts from the popcorn machine and create a comfortable cafe atmosphere where people can relax while they wait for seating to begin, and then they can return there after the film to discuss what they’ve seen?

Inspired by Wahlberg’s idea, I asked some Facebook friends to suggest some other actor-cuisine cafe names. So here are their ideas, free of charge, to any enterprising entrepreneurs who want to seize the day… or the danish…

• Hamm and Cheese
• Susan Lucci and Stanley Tucci could open a distillery together: Lucci Tucci Hoochie

• Christoper Walk-In/Drive-Thru
• Renee Zellburger
• Katie Holmestead Restaurant and Grill.
• Stephen’s Spielburgers
• Bacon Fried Chicken
• Whoopi’s Goldburgers.
• Hallie’s Berry Pies.
