Hooters

Steve G asks a very important question:


I don't get Hooters. What are they selling? You look at the name, the way they write the o's, the marketing, and you figure it's about breasts. But in reality, it's just a regular restaurant. A bunch of guys watching NASCAR, eating wings. WINGS! Even when Hooters serves chicken, they don't let you see a breast. So, my sense is that it is a topless bar for people who don't want to go to a bar and don't want to see anyone topless.

The whole thing seems to be a bit like Confederate Civil War re-enactors. I haven't joined the real Army to go to an actual war in Iraq, but I just want to say I'm a rebel who has sympathy with the non-politically correct side of things...just not that much of a rebel.
Someone please explain Hooters to me.

I also need Hooters explained to me. Moreover, does anyone else remember the short-lived Hooters Air? That also could use an explanation. I've never actually been to a Hooters, but it just seems like a place to engage in low-level sexual harassment and eat bad food. I can't say this is particularly appealing to me in any conceivable way. No doubt I lack the testosterone and ability to bond in manly ways to ever understand.
