NCAA, Dick Vitale and Hooters: American institutions

dick.jpgAn interesting item, and a valid excuse to post a picture of Hooters waitress.

A win-win post.

(Speaking of which, I've been telling people for years that I went to an early Hooters in the Tampa area in 1981. But the chain is only celebrating its 25th anniversary. Is it possible I'm confusing it with some other sports-themed bar/restaurant featuring scantily clad waitresses that predates Hooters? Help, please.)

I dont know, but their official history says they opened October 4, 1983.

But a franchisee says the company started April 1, 1983.

so who knows what the real truth is. Maybe you're right. Maybe you're old.

Agree, Neil, this is silly. I applaud Hooters for standing by their ad and their employee (and a nice PR boost for them by doing so!)
