I Like ItI Don’t Like It

Good restaurateurs know how to sell the sizzle, and few chains have done a better job of hustling the stuff over the past 2½ decades than Hooters.

But now, inspired by the success of Hooters' wings-toting female staff, restaurants such as Twin Peaks, Bone Daddy's and other local operators with cute waitresses, cold beer and a male clientele are, well, busting out all over. And Texas, where the sole Hooters' franchisee is both the chain's sales leader and No. 1 in locations nationally, is a prime market for the "breastaurant" concept.

Read the whole story here.

RACECAR FANS LOVE THESE PLACES.

They love to watch things they know they will never touch.

Men are pigs, no doubt about it. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Men are men. Pigs is a subjective application of cultural values. The same traits in the 50's were lauded.

Not very "free" of you to be so smug.

wowo, so many prudes, women have mammaries, men (and a percentage of women) enjoy them, not one dammed thing wrong or "perverted" about that. the ONLY perverse action in history is to be celibate, which is completely un-natural.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HOOKER AND A HOOTER'S WORKER? THE HOOKER HAS BRAINS.

P.S. I WENT ONLY ONCE to Hooters with a friend...THE FOOD IS HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE...the only reason men go is because of the stupid illusion....gosh it is a sexist, and pimpish kind of thing

While I imagine the view will be great, I doubt that the quality of the food will be the breast - err, best

"Breastaurants" BWAHAHAAHAAHAAHA. That's a funny word. Now having said that, if women are willing to be ogled by horny men in order to get a slightly bigger tip, and if men are willing to pay more for food because it's served to them by a busty 22 year old, well then that's just capitalism.

It appears that Hooters is going to face stiff competition...

They must nip the competition in the bud.

Gee. Whuda figured. Texas is #1 for Hooters locations, and the "prime demographic" for the "breastaraunt" genre, yet full of all those Bible thumping conservatives. Anyone else notice that's a bit of a contradiction?

Nailed it. Conservatives are people who can't get it.

I think conservatives are outbreeding liberals if you exclude hispania.

As often as I consider American restaurants and businesses to be disposed to use sex to sell - I consider Italy, where they have refined it to an art form.
