Did you like them? iirc though hooters business is way down from their heydey in the early 2000s or something like that.

No.

I wanna go at some point, just to have experienced it, but I don't want to go alone either. >.>

Yeah, uh.....alone....maybe that would apply to strip clubs too

Are the outfits like more provocative at twin peaks?

Hooters, yes. Their wings are better than BWW imo. I don't think we have a Twin Peaks here in SoCal.

hooters

food was okay, but you don't go for the food

its low cut flannel tops and short shorts. I mean its good eye candy I guess but Im in my 40s and feel uneasy ogling 20 year olds

Yes since friends wanted to go out and other restaurants were too busy. Food was decent and the women were attractive.

Oh is that like twin peaks official uniform? What they don't hire women in their 30s?

I did try "to-go" from Hooters regarding their wings and it's legit pretty good.

What is sweet chariots?

Hooters spicy garlic sauce is the real deal, one of the GOATs of wing sauces imo.

Not me brother, the ogling is almost as good as the spicy garlic sauce, definitely the 2nd best part of Hooters.

I know it is a running joke that people go to Hooters for the wings, but when we were teens my friends and I really DID go for that. At that time at least the wings were great and wonderfully spicy.

I cant speak to the wings now. I am a married man and no longer allowed to patronize the local Hooters. :) But decades ago the wings were actually really good.

Went to Hooters
The food wasn't good and I was uncomfortable the whole time
Wasn't a fan at all

When I lived in MontCo, Maryland, I went a few times.

why were you uncomfortable the whole time though? idk aren't most guys comfortable there, i guess

I applied as a cook at a nearby twin peaks a few years ago thinking it was a restaurant themed after the TV show.
went for my interview and I was way wrong. I technically did get hired, but was so disappointed that I didn't go in for my first shift.

why isn't there a david lynch themed diner?

yeah i guess i kinda thought that too. The signage is kinda vague. Who knew, the tv show, they are talking about those twin peaks?

Never heard of Twin Peaks, the restaurant that is. There's actually one close to me.

Hooters, yes, plenty of times before the one in my town closed (the manager was a friend of a friend and he told us once their rent was $30K/month). That was where me and my friends would go to watch UFC cards.

Never been to a Twin Peaks, because I have no interest in strip clubs.

Went to Hooter's a couple of times. It was so-so.

so like twin peaks is much more provocative though? i heard like mcd's and stuff their rent is really high too. 30k per month?

My first job out of college there was a hooters right around the corner from the office. We usually went there at least once per week, usually led by my coworker who loved the place.

One of the waitresses there was probably the most attractive woman I'll ever see in my life.

The place itself is fine for beer and the food is good enough but not great. Good place for watching sports as there's like 100 TVs and you can see well from every table.

It's a sports bar chain not a strip club.

I've been up since 9 last night and completely brain farted. I was thinking of a place called Uptown Cabaret, which is a "gentleman's club/restaurant", not Twin Peaks.

Doesn't help their commercials are usually aired pretty close together on the radio.

Yeah, I remembered that after the fact. :/

The closest Hooters to me is my favorite but I have only been a few times with an older friend. The patio area sits on the edge of a lake. So nice hanging out there on a nice day.

Their wings are too dry most of the time so I stopped trying them though.

Oh yeah he was a perv and liked that the staff were friendly. He was a bit older with a wife and kids though he wasn't trying to do anything, he just liked to look and talk to them.

Honestly he was their perfect target customer, came in often, spent a lot of money on drinks and food while not causing any trouble.

LOL, I saw the opposite one night. Guy was drunk and he got handsy with one of the waitresses. She went from "cheerful and bubbly" to "enraged" in a split second, and said "Okay, this guy needs to leave RIGHT NOW!" in that really loud 'waitstaff voice' a lot of servers have mastered.

Manager pops his head out of the back, couple regular patrons stood up from tables nearby and faced this dude, and he realized he'd fucked up, slunk out of there with his tail between his legs.

No.

I'd never attempt to eat at a Hooters alone; Invite only.

No, its an extremely cringey concept to me.

It was ok, some mild drama. I think it was the CEO but cant remember if he was the founder as well.

I've been to hooters, never heard of twin peaks restaurant. Is it based on the show or something?

Easily. Their fries are also decent.

My Twin Peaks has some menu items (like pulled pork tacos) that hit home every time. Also their proprietary beers aren't bad either (especially in a frosted mug)

I've been to the midwest equivalent, Show-Me's. Good food, hot chicks
