not even Hooters & it's been around forever. If I go out to a restaurant, on the rare occasions I do, I'm in search of good food, not boobage. I think I'll pass on the others also.

If they had pretty ladies in skimpy outfits, but the food was bad, I'd never go there again.

Never again.

Client took me there because it was close to the hotel. Food wasn't even average. Fried industrial crap.

As for the "atmosphere"... meh.

6. I can't stand Hooters but I went to the Tilted Kilt and liked it.

It's funny I saw an ad for the Tilted Kilt in a Southwest magazine and it said "as seen on Undercover Boss". I'm thinking "I'm not sure I'd be too proud of that."

But I don't go to those places. The element of exploitation makes me uncomfortable.

What's worse is the pressure from friends to act like the ogling, leering buffoons they act like.

9. Better would be to forego the chains like that and find a local restaurant

that hosts belly dance in the evenings. At least that's an artform instead of being simply eye-candy.

Here's one dancer I know and have seen at a local Greek restaurant:

10. IMO if you want to people watch and look at attractive women go hang out...

Go hand out along your cities trendy night streets where all the bars and clubs are. Go to restaurants where the sexy girls are the customers. Go to the beach.

If you feel like going to Hooters go watch some porn instead.
