Not to get too off topic but on the Hooters comments:

2) Sitting there having scantily clad women serve me food is not my idea of a good time. Frankly that is disgusting and a health code violation. Put some clothes on.

Buffalo Wild Wings is going to be awesome!!

Haha. Oh you are serious.

I have only been to Hooters once in Austin snd once in RC but the way Hooters servers are dressed is NOT really that risque and certainly not a health issue as they have fully covered tops, shorts and nylons. They are tight fitting but not much different than many bars in town.

:rolleyes: LOL... ROFL!

Okay then, if you don't like the scantily clad women, you should ask for scantily clad men to be your servers instead!!!

I honestly don't get what all the hype's about. Haven't really enjoyed anything I've eaten there, going from way back when it was BW3's. Did love playing the trivia game some 15+ years ago though.

And for the record I meant to say to me should be a health code violation, was not trying to imply it is. :)

Why should short shorts and a tanktop for a waitress be a healthcode violation?

Science shows that germs are more prevalent on our hands and in our mouths and nose, so even dressed as prudish Amish woman with long sleeves tight to the wrist, completely covered from toes to the neck, she would still be just as much of a health hazard handling your food, breathing and sneezing on your food, etc.

Frankly to me it is disgusting (again my personal opinion). These new 'modern' restaurants where the hostesses are dressed like sluts and in some the waiters or waitresses look like they are right out a club (or in hooters case, like they were at a wet t-shirt contest) are beyond me or why people would want to eat there, no matter the food. I lose my appetite when I see that. Maybe its just me but it doesn't even seem sanitary. Just my opinion.

Do you have difficulties eating food at beach picnics? Or while out camping?

Do you scrub down your BBQ with bleach after every use? Do you wash a cast iron skillet with soap & water?

Me thinks your notion of what is & isn't sanitary doesn't come from logical considerations but instead is a very emotional based response. From having worked at 3 very different food service establishments, I can tell you that there is far more to worry about when dining out than what the staff is or isn't wearing.

I worked at a Smorgasbord for awhile and when I accidently dropped a pan of roast-beef on the slimy grimy kitchen floor, management told me to pick it up, pour more gravy over the meat and take it out on to the food line. We also would re-mix the jello on the salad line, heat it so it would go liquid, pour into new molds and let it set again to re-serve. Sometimes this Jello ended up with dead flies in it (or so I recall from one customer complaint about flies "inside" the jello). I have other horror stories I could tell as well, but bottom line, if I were you and was worried about what the waitresses wear, then I would never ever eat at another restaurant, even if my life depended upon it.

I also would never eat anything from a can as all canned goods have an authorized amount of dead bugs and stuff that is permitable by the FDA.

CINNAMON, GROUND Insect filth
(AOAC 968.38b) Average of 400 or more insect fragments per 50 gram

The above is the "action level" when the FDA feels something needs to be done, so 399 or fewer pieces of insects in 50 grams of ground cinnamon is acceptable.

And to think, you are worried about the length of some girls shorts?

As Tyra Banks said on her show the other day, what you can see isn't what you should be worried about. The stuff that needs to be worried about usually can't be seen. I'm just trying to get you to think logically about what is sanitary and what isn't. Did you know that urine is sterile and therefore safe to drink. If you were stranded on a desert isle and your only two sources of liquids was your urine and the sea water, you better get used to the idea of drinking your own pee if you want to survive, cuz the seawater can kill you.

Modern? This is nothing new! Sex has been used to sell everything from cars to cocktails since the beginning of advertising.

Back in the 70's the Peppermill, a popular family restaurant, featured waitresses in red min-skirts in the dining area and in white gowns slit up to the waste in the bar. They were told to sit down when taking orders, which of course revealed the thigh and increased sales and tips.

Gulliver's servers were known as 'serving wenches' and wore boob-popping blouses.

Then there was (still is) the Playboy Club.

We could go on...

All this talk about attractive servers (and not btw by Bill's smorgasbord stories), has made me hungry. The ribs, mash potatoes and fresh corn on the cob is calling.

Need some wings and a cold draft beer soon too... Let's get this wing place OPEN!

Man, I miss the Peppermill over on Sunrise.

I always felt like like I was at the Peppermill casino in Reno or Vegas when I dined there, but the cold reality is that I was still in California... and there were no slot machines or card tables to be found. :D:

I used to love Gulliver's when I was a kid! Prime rib, Yorkshire Pudding and creamed corn. YUM! I passed on the creamed spinach though, more for my dad :)

Ohhh that sounds good although I would go for fresh spinach, spinach with a bit of bacon (because bacon makes everything taste better), or with onion or mushrooms.
