Everything You Always Wanted to Know About "Breastaurants" But Were Afraid to Ask

[Stay abreast with industry news at Restaurant SmartBrief.]

Question.  OK, I'll bite, what the hell is a "breastaurant"?

Answer.  It's restaurant industry analyst-speak for a sports bar that features scantily clad female servers.

Question.  So what's the big deal then?

Answer.  "Breastaurants" are growing faster than the overall restaurant industry.

Question.  Are you kidding me?

Answer.  Nope.  And it's all a rebellion against political correctness, according to those smut-talkin' analysts.

Question.  You're talkin' Hooters, right?

Answer.  Hooters is a one of a number of chains.  The other two noted by SmartBrief are Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery and Twin Peaks, although some folks walking into Twin Peaks for the first time, unawares, might be expecting a different theme.

Question.  Where can I find one of these "breastaurants"?

Answer.  That depends.  Generally speaking, you'll have a better chance finding a Hooters if you live east of the Mississippi.  And from the map of locations on the restaurant's website, it appears that you can drive from Norfolk, Virginia, to Boston, Massachusetts, and never be more than an exit away.

As for Tilted Kilt, you'll also want to stay east of the Mississippi.

For a Twin Peaks experience, you're best off being from Texas.
