Radio M**Bun
The first Mac Bun restaurant opened in Tivoli, Italy in 2009. They specialize in hamburgers using 100% locally-sourced beef and other products derived from the area to make up their menu of "slow fast food." Inevitably, a burger joint with the word "Mac" in its name soon received a trademark infringement warning from McDonald's which resulted in Mac Bun changing their name to M**Bun. Radio M**Bun is an online station promoting "the most interesting artists and professionals of the moment" especially those from Tivoli, Turin and other locations in the Piedmont region of northwest Italy.
