2008_04_11_hooters.jpgCertain folks in the UK–you know, that land of such eminent feminist institutions as Page 3 girls and Nuts Magazine–aren’t too happy about the prospect of Hooters expanding into their market: “Hooters is and intends to be more like a lap-dance club than a family restaurant … Without the sexualised waiters and the soft porn and sport on display, what would men go for? They can get better and cheaper chicken wings in KFC.” Just one minute there, old chap–everyone knows Hooters’ wings totally kick KFC’s ass. (And wait, people are getting lap dances at Hooters these days too? Why would men eat anywhere else?) (guardian.co.uk)

    Families go to Hooters?

    [???].

    I was thinking the same thing, Prof. From what I understand ( I don’t eat there) they do have good wings.

    I didn’t know anyone EXCEPT families went to Hooters anymore, they’ve cleaned up their image so much. I think the one closest to me as a “Kids Eat Free” night kind of thing.

    @Marsupial: I have eaten at Hooters twice or thrice over the last six years, & my last visit — about two years ago — I saw a Latino man take in a meal with his son & grandson. I suppose that counts as family, but neither abuela nor mama was anywhere to be seen.

    … &, oh, I would have liked to have been the kid. He was all of six or eight, but the waitress was just fawning over him. I’m sure he’ll end up with a complex, of course. A sexy complex….
