Finally! A real wing restaurant is coming to the Bay Area.
Okay, so it’s a super-hyped chain, but at least it’s somewhat close. The Bay Area is generally lacking in good buffalo wings/sports/beer places of this style. In Florida we had BW3, Beef o’ Brady’s, Bobby Bowden’s Wings, Buffalos, the Wing Stop, etc. This area, for all the supposed diversity, seems to have very little, safe for the generic “All American” wings at Applebees.
I’m a bit confused about the article though. What is the significance of the Krispy Kreme reference? I got the impression that KK wasn’t that big here in Starbucks’ territory. What gives?
I don’t see any reference to Krispy Kreme in the story you linked to, although I remember seeing it referenced in the story in the SF Chronicle. I think it had something to do with the relative buzz generated by a restaurant opening in new territory. When Krispy Kremes first opened in the Bay Area, people went seriously apeshit in anticipation. But this Hooters isn’t going to be quite as eagerly welcomed.
Screw that, man. Strip clubs are too loud and I can’t focus on the wrasslin’ PPV’s or NASCAR race on TV. And also, Hooters girls are more classy (I even got to date one for a couple months once).
IMHO, Hooters is nothing to get excited about if you’re looking for good hot wings. They’re as blah as the “generic ‘All American’ wings at Applebees.” And they are definitely overpriced.

Why doesn’t Hooters serve milk? The subliminal advertising opportunity seems too good to pass up.

Hooters isn’t a REAL wing restaurant, but it’s the clostest that can be found in CA. This is the greasy, unhealthy yet wonderful food void of the universe.
When Krispy Kreme and In N Out opened up shop on the same block in Daly City (about six inches south of SF proper) everyone shit their pants in antici-pation. Me included. (Even though IN N Out already existed at Fisherman’s Wharf.)
Hooter’s, incidentally, will be located right next to the Fisherman’s Wharf In N Out, and nobody here will care. The area is cheesy as it is, a Hooter’s won’t make much of a difference.
I might pop in, because a friend of mine bartends across the street at the Grotto. Probably not, though.
