Fairytales and Chinese Food

There is a new-ish restaurant on 22nd street that is driving me nuts. It’s called “Seven Dwarf’s Chinese Buffet” or something like that. The main problem with this is that they put the singular form of the word dwarf instead of the plural dwarves. So it seem like it’s a chinese buffet belonging to a single dwarf named Seven. Some weird combination of the Borg from start trek and a blatantly European fairytale. It just seems a bit weird. Why would a restaurant with a primarily asian menu use the Seven Dwarves as their name. I do not associate this fairytale with Asian culture and food in any way and it is just confusing and annoying. I am really anal.
