To be fair, the last time I was there, the beer was cold and refreshing, the tits were adequately plump and on display, the waitress owning them was punctual and friendly, the order was accurate and the wings were pretty darn tasty.

But I’d much rather go to my local brewery or small restaurant down the street, support local and small business owners, and enjoy a smaller and cozier setting. There’s just so many other options, picking a chain like Hooters isn’t really something that happens often.

I dont know if it my local sports bar scene, but hooters is not the sluttiest sports bar nor has the best food. I feel like it has all this sexy reputation, it’s weird to bring kids too, but at the same time if you want to go to a bar for boobs there are better options.

Why set the bar so low when you could be searching for your future ex-wife?

They started a door-to-door service called Knockers.

I’m thinking Fluffy could do some good work with a joke in that area.

If they ever file for Chapter 7, I will be deeply disappointed if the headline doesn't read, "Hooters Goes Tits Up".

They could have easily turned things around had they listened to demand and created a Femboy Hooters spin-off.

Oh My God! Prepare for a Tsunami of third-rate jokes by second-rate comedians!

I can vividly see before my mind's eye a stand-up guy walking up and down the tiny stage, speaking into his mic: "BTW, have y'all heard that Hooters went bankrupt? [Insert punchline objectifying women]"

Hummm. No boob jokes. This might be legitimate.

If you want the Hooters experience, go to Twin Peaks. The guy who originally ran Hooters runs it.

Time to go stroll around the Hooters parking lots to find a new babysitter =D
