The Breastaurant: Newish Trend

Cadaverous Pallor · 01-27-2009, 04:14 PM

I'm of the (completely subjective and totally minority) opinion that this whole concept is dumb at best and creepy at worst.

I'd go to a strip club for someone else's benefit (bachelorette party etc, though I've never been asked), but I'd never go to one of my own accord, male or female. Even so, I'd vastly prefer an actual strip club to a supposed restaurant that's really about ogling people.

Blech and Ew.

I think it appeals to people's desire to be able to oogle women (in the case of Hooters) without the guilt of going to a "strip club": "hey; it's just a restaurant..."

See, it's the pretense that bugs me. The idea that someone would feel guilty for visiting a strip club but not feel guilty for pretending they showed up for the buffalo wings just baffles me.

Besides, if I did want to see big tits, I'd be pissed off that the tits brought me food and then left. Does anyone get drunk at a Hooters and suddenly start screaming "COME BACK AND SHOW ME YOUR FUKING BOOBS! WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GETTING PAID FOR? WHY THE FUK ELSE DID I COME HERE?!" Because that would be me.

I'm not trying to determine your position on the Kinsey Scale, I'm just curious if you eschew restaurants with food servers whose primary purpose is to be physically attractive.

It depends on the atmosphere, and how ostentatious the wait staff. Hooters has girls with big boobs, but they're pretty low-key about anything other than just serving food.

It would also depend on the food. I'd probably be less likely to go to a place that's showy about having muscle-bound guys, and more likely to go to a place that has hot girls, but it would come down to the food for anything more than a novelty visit.

People feel guilty about going to strip clubs? Huh.

Yeah, I don't know that I could pretend I "only" went for the food. But I've been called a perv before, so take that as you will. I don't mind the atmosphere at Hooters; the servers are all around for the looking, and then they bring food, and they don't go far away when they do leave. I don't go to Hooter's often, both because we don't have one here, and because I'm not all that thrilled with the food. Their beer's ok but that's about it. We usually go when we go to Vegas.

I'm not sure it is intentional pretense or just different levels of acceptability. Everyone has their limit as to where the line gets drawn.

If anything, I give a little props to Hooters for being blatant about it. I have been to many an establishment (I'm talking mainstream restaurants) where it is obvious that one is hired almost entirely based on looks: young cute females.

A neighboring town has a new breastaurant. My kids have been telling me that this and that person they went to school with works there.

Then I saw a photo of the waitstaff in the local paper. I look at those servers in their plaid pushup bras and low-rise mini kilts and I see second-graders from back in the day.

Ew.

I took my wife (new girlfriend at the time) to Hooters once.

It was the new restaurant on the block and it had this cute little Hoot Owl for a logo. I never made the connection as to the other meaning "hooters" can have. Well at least not until we were seated anyways....
