muse


delightfully tacky yet unrefined
In 1983, six fun-loving businessmen, with no experience in the restaurant industry, opened a joint with girls in orange shorts, chicken wings as the feature item, and an owl in the logo. The casual, beach-theme restaurant known for the surfer girls next door has since morphed into a chain with over 330 locations in locations as diverse as Singapore, Switzerland and yes, Seattle!

The atmosphere in Hooters typically includes an open kitchen with boisterous cooks; rock and roll playing from the jukebox; sports on television and Hooters Girls hula-hooping and singing. Interestingly - they've had to explain to the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission on their hiring practices that discriminate against men!

Finished the evening with loads of sangria - a delightful mix of wine, fruit juices and soda, and a photograph that'll get me killed if the other guys in it find it on the internet!
