"I wasn't exactly sure what to expect when I decided earlier this week that the "Day Without a Woman" would be a good time to give Hooter's new smoked wings a try.
...Hooters, which famously sports an exclusively female wait staff budding with mounds of talent, is undoubtedly more susceptible to a women's strike than any other restaurant.
Despite the unknown, I ventured to Hooters on Wednesday afternoon. It was open and had quite a few cars in the parking lot.I got a table by the bar and told my waitress that I was happy to see that Hooters was serving customers, given that it was the "Day Without a Woman."
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
She was not alone in her confusion, given that I also didn't know exactly what the day entailed.
I explained what I was talking about and, given a bit of a push, she remembered seeing something about the protest...
"Oh, that thing with the girls?" she said. "That's not going down here. I wish I was still in school though, so I could get the day off."
...That was the last we spoke about protests.
Then, as if my waitress knew exactly why I came, she let me know that the new Smoked Wings were all the rage lately. I ordered a large plate with the Texas BBQ dry rub.
...Largely thanks to the smoked wings, it was my best eating experience at a Hooters.
The rest of the experience was great, too. I sat under a sign that said "Man cannot live on Hooters alone, but we won't stop you from trying," which made me laugh.
It also made me laugh that the men's bathroom is labeled "Standing Proud" and the women's is labeled "Sitting Pretty."
All in all, whether the day is with or without women, I shall return.
