That's what Bone Daddy's has done. Owner Mike Leatherwood
(honest-to-God real name) is a middle-aged guy with gray hair,
surrounded by teenagers in tights. "What we're
doing is putting on two shows a day," he says. "We got a show called lunch and we
got a show called dinner and I'm the producer and the manager on the
floor is the director and we have this amazing ensemble cast that comes
in and performs every single day." I wonder what type of movie
Leatherwood's talking about.
Another restaurant, Twin Peaks, might as well be a topless bar the
girls have so much cleavage hanging out. (Plaid has never looked so
sexy.) Like Hooter's and Bone Daddy's, Nightline finds it's doing great.
It's not surprising and it's certainly not a trend. Sex always sells! As the Daily News notes, prostitution hasn't suffered and you can add strip-clubs to health care and government as the only industries hiring.
But
it's not just sex. Almost
nothing on the menus at these places costs more than $10. They're cheap
places to hang out, and the waitresses make you feel like somebody.
The
message is clear: Sell average food at below-average prices served by above-average
women. Add some coverage from a respected national news
organization and you've got a hit.

It's not a shame. That means the name is all yours for the restaurant you one day open and you'll have at least one customer- me.
Unfortunately that's a typo. The restaurant is called Twin Peaks and yes the sign features two mountains next to eachother.
I just moved to Austin and there is a Twin Peaks on one side of I-35, and a place called the Tilted Kilt that seems to be just about the same restaurant, plaid cleavage and all, except they also wear mini kilts on the other side of the highway.
BTW I was hoping Twin Peaks was a Twin Peaks theme restaurant with Damn Good Coffee and Pies... sigh.
