Restaurant Chain Heading for Holy Land… and, given my industry and geographic location, mentally sorted to a certain local tourist attraction. After all, Disney serves McDonald's in its parks, and Universal has a Starbucks. So I just about choked when I saw the first phrase:
"US restaurant chain Hooters …"HUH? I mean, granted, I remember noticing more strip bars and "gentlemen's clubs" and billboards for same once I entered the Bible Belt on my move here, but this seemed more than just a mild stretch of the imagination.
Seems I missed some key words in the byline and remainder of that sentence: The article was from Jerusalem, talked about this being their first venture in Israel and is about the location being in "the Mediterranean seaside city of Tel Aviv." Oh.
No kidding, I had the same thoughts when I saw the story.
ReplyDeleteThen I thought about the employees that they'll have to hire, and figured, "Finally, one I'll go to!"
Hey, if the straight guys get Hooters, when do we gay guys get our own restaurant? We could call it Schlongs or Bulges.
ReplyDeleteI love the names. I volunteer to do the hiring. Personally.
ReplyDeleteI read that story the other day and and shook my head. Talk about two very different cultures clashing. Should be interesting to see if they make it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see them in their tiny tees and orange short shorts, with their faces completely covered.
ReplyDeleteI think we could just call the gay guy restaurant "Peter's" ...
or we could head on down to "The Banana Hammock."
