From a Texas newspaper comes this story about Twin Peaks.

No, not the TV show.

God Bless the Republic of Texas.

I'm pretty sure I'm not breaking any NDAs by saying that I used to work for a secret shopping company that was employed by Hooters. No, I never went to one, but I did edit the evaluations. Hooters required several things: no mentions of the looks of the waitress (although they did have a question about whether she looked "all-american" whatever the heck that means), no mention of male staff, and of course, they had a list of items you had to order. The most hilarious thing was that our shoppers were (unsurprisingly) mostly elderly ladies. I'm sure they stood out like a sore thumb in Hooters, but it sounds like the stores didn't exactly go out of their way to get good evals, either.

Do you know if they are franchising in Canada?

I guess I'm a charmed man... My wife LOVES Hooters wings.

They do have great wings. The other white meat is great too.

If Twin Peaks can acutally make some decent food, they'll put Hooters out of business.

That's the impression I got from reading all of those reviews... food's not so great.
