Intro

A new restaurant concept taken shape in the mid to late millennium called 'Breastaurants' has taken form.  Pretty much everyone is familiar now with Hooters which started in the early 80s and was one of its kind at the time.  With a mix of sexual innuendo bar type atmosphere but mixed with a benign friendly bright light family atmosphere made the restaurant thrive for almost 3 decades.  In the last millennium other entrepreneurs took a hold of this model to produce new restaurants that embraced this concept especially in these harsh financial times and produced such places at Tilted Kilt, Bone Daddy’s, Twin Peaks, Wing House, etc etc.  How are they different that Hooters?  Well each restaurant has its own theme and of course mission statement that establishes each other differently.  But who are we kidding? It’s like comparing Applebee’s to Chili’s.  Sure they are different, they have a different name and menu but when you think American style chain restaurant that has greasy hearty portions, great appetizers, full bar with happy hour and a place for kids and the elderly to enjoy alike, well then those types of restaurants are really the same now aren’t they?    Here it’s young girls in skimpy attire flirting with their tables, being social and serving greasy filling good food.  Same thing different outfit.  So on my quest to find out what makes these restaurant tick I secured a job at the newly opened Tilted Kilt.  This is my experience.
