Geocache Description:

Solving this urban puzzle will feed your cache count

Cache is not at the listed coordinates!

There is a chain of eating establishments that have two first names in the title, which always seemed a bit odd to me. I have decided to conduct a steakout in order to find out who's business it really is, and I need your help!

First, you must figure out which confusing titled business is being referred to...

Hint: Qba'g jnaqre gbb sne

Label the letters of the two names as follows:

N1L1, N1L2... letters of the first name
N2L1, N2L2... letters of the second name

Using the two names, figure out the cache's correct location using a simple alpha-number substitution (a=1...z=26) and making the following adjustments to the "given" coordinates hundredths place (N .497 & W .623)

497 + ( 1N2L - 1N1L ) - 1N4L = NNN

623 + 2N1L + 2N2L + 2N3L + 2N4L + 2N4L + 2N5L = WWW

The cache is located at N 38 34.NNN W 121 24.WWW
