Hooter's

Hooters is one of the “chain” wing joints available to us in the Indyucki area.  Although Wingazette® once mounted a “just say no to Hooters” campaign, we have since learned how to enjoy the Hooters experience.  Just order your wings “naked”, with no breading and have them bring the 911 sauce on the side for dipping.  Although you’ll find these wings to be over-priced, the quality is usually up to par for a decent wing meal.  You may find yourself a little uncomfortable with the ambiance, as there is way too much NASCAR material in the joint.

Here’s the Hooters Saga:

Several years ago while playing Parcheesi at "The Home for the Visually Offensive," several semi-intellectual Clearwater businessmen had a sudden urge for the smell of rough sawn lumber and/or the taste of Buffalo style chicken wings. Knowing full well that they couldn't agree on anything as a group, nor could they get a weekend pass from the "home" to go to Buffalo, they decided to embark upon a major undertaking. They would open a place in Clearwater where other people of their caliber could gather and quench their thirst for the finer things in life.

Their venture, however, got off to a slow start. After announcing their plans, the "Hooters Six" (as they are now called) were promptly arrested for impersonating restaurateurs. There were no indictments, but the stigma lingers on.

There were many obstacles ahead, not the least of which was procuring a suitable location. After months of negotiations and a heated bidding war with "Wells Brothers Disposal," who wanted to use the building for a giant walk-in Dumpster, terms were agreed to and 2800 Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, Clearwater, Florida was theirs.

Now the dilemma...what to name the place. Simple. What else brings a gleam to men's eyes everywhere besides beer, chicken wings and an occasional winning football season? Hence the name Hooters. Supposedly they were into owls. Strange group.

Anyway, the end product is what you see around you. So please sit back and enjoy yourself. If there is anything special you require please ask...within reason, of course.
