    You know they JUST opened one up in Wethersfield, right?! Though if I recall you aren't in CT Chin... Is that right?

    Edit: I too can vouch for the burgers and beer. And the scenery.

    I've enjoyed the burger, the cold beer, and the scenery there before. Quality!

    You are correct. I'm down in Florida and am fortunate enough to scope out the UCF area of Orlando about every other month. Watching the students run and bike along the streets in February is encouraging.

    And the bartender at the bar was up to speed on civics (we discussed what trips jury duty selections), urban planning (should she move closer to downtown to save money on cab rides), economics (Thursday night is ladies night from 9-11 and girls drink free and like to get trashed and leave cruddy tips), relationships (something about a boyfriend) and social graces (should I get sweet potato french fries or garlic fries).

    Ah, the benefits of Florida. Bill Simmons coined the term "Halter-Top Day"... when it's finally warm enough for girls to put away the hibernation clothes and "come out" en masse for the spring... that was one of my favorite days at UConn, just hanging out by the Co-Op... but in Florida, that's every day! :)

    There was one right down the street from me when I lived in Atlanta. Had my wife convinced it was simply an "Irish Pub" until she saw some of the waitresses serving the patio.

    Yes, the burgers are good.

    Is it as good as Beef O'Brady's?

    Well, there is a Beef O'Brady's Bowl and there isn't a Tilted Kilt Bowl.

    But there is always hope.

    I'm just like...wow, this exists? A chain restaurant with a wait staff dressed entirely in schoolgirl outfits makes Hooters look dignified and refined.

    You are right and wrong.

    You are wrong because they're not dressed as school girls. They're dressed as Scots. Expand your cultural awareness.

    And you are right, because Hooter's girls are dignified and refined.

    I thought Scots were infamous for going commando under the kilts. Just sayin'.

    If the pics that were taken off the extra shine on my shoe tips and were reflected upward are correct, then yes, you are correct about commando.

    UCF was well represented in those Winghouse pictures. Well represented.
    I've also had the pleasure of dining and drinking at Winghouse. I don't remember if the wings are good or not.

    Only eaten at Beef O'Brady's once, a very long time ago (a friend of mine bought in to a franchise in the Altamonte Springs / Longwood area back in the mid-late 90's. Didn't love the burger, wings were decent though.
