I am on the J-List e-mail mailing list and this was the topic of my most recent e-mail.

[relevant parts of the] e-mail.

Monday, October 25, 2010

Japan's first Hooters opens today, though I'm more a Maid Cafe man; I'm a big fan of beautiful tatami rooms.

Japan's first Hooters location opens today in Tokyo, and the Japanese Internets are buzzing about the new restaurant, where food and drinks are served by voluptuous waitresses and the slogan is (as one Japanese news site quipped) "The meat pie and oppai are both very large." ... 40 girls have been hired to work as waitresses, ten foreign women and thirty Japanese ones, although if they're requiring the foreign waitresses to be Japanese bilingual that might make things a bit more interesting for customers. I expect it will feel pretty much like Hard Rock Cafe, which has been a fixture in Tokyo since 19 83, existing as an ethereal bridge between East and West that's sometimes enjoyable to visit.

{Secretist, there was no need to post the whole e-mail when only one paragraph was at all relevant to the topic and you had already quoted that. —Madrugada}

I can't be bothered to read what looks like an entire press release, so I'll just assume this is some kind of fanboy thing and move on.

I find it amusing that Nornagest has posted in this thread.

Hooters? In Japan? I bet that will be more disappointing than the one near my house. I kid you not, there was no chick bigger than a B cup there. I promptly turned around, left, and went to Applebee's instead.

If I'm going to Hooter's I expect some goddamned hooters.

Amazingly, I have never been in a Hooters.

But anyway, good for Japan.

no one will notice that I changed this

I've never frequented a Hooters but from what I hear, Mark's case isn't unique. You disappoint me, Hooters.

I saw a Hooters with an area for To-Go orders, which implies there are people who go there for the food. I am confuse.

sad I want a cosplay cafe! It would have been the perfect place to get a summer job in high school!

There's apparently exactly one maid café in the United States of America.

And it's on the opposite side of the country from where I live! D:

As I understand it, Hooters has good burgers. Being too poor to go out and run the experiment myself, I will have to take this on the word of my grandmother.

If I had the start-up funds, I would make a magic school maid cafe! Less about Fanservice and more about the fun of pretending you're being served by novice wizards whose school uniform looks oddly like a maid costume. Or a butler costume, because we're an equal-oppertunity employer! You don't even have to be pretty/handsome! And if you're older, you can be a teacher instead of a student!

Now there is officially a way for a hipster to visit Hoooters and gain scene cred for it. Come on, a "Hooters Tokyo" t-shirt? T Hat's like, three vintage beer t-shirts and a hat from a country you've never heard of put together.

I dislike Hooters anyway, because I'm not a perv. I go in and I'm all like "I'm going to hell for being here" and then I get served food and feel nervous that I'm about to fart in front of a girl, and then I try the food and realize it's not good.

^ I've not been in one, myself, but some whose opinions I listen to (if not always agree with) have, and nothing of what I've heard from them makes me think the poor man's peep show (very poor... we're talking homeless crackhead here, at best tongue ) is enough to justify the quality of the food they're selling at those prices.
