Point Break fans rejoice: Johnny Utah's is coming to Philly

Johnny Utah's, the mechanical bull-centric concept popular with urban cowboys in NYC, is coming to Philly, taking over the space most recently held by Buckhead Saloon (461 N. Third St.). The grand opening is set for April 26 and it looks like they're in the thick of hiring shot girls and waitstaff right now. What's being overlooked here, at least in our view: Johnny Utah happens to be the name of the greatest Big 10 quarterback-turned-fed in cinematic history. And we also happen to already have a coffee shop called Bodhi (410 S. Second St.). Ahhhhhhh! It begs the question: Will the Philly JU's serve a meatball sandwich? (Nothing on the New York menu.)  If so, we're definitely getting two. Vaya con dios.
