In food and mammary news, the Hooters in Fishermen's Wharf will close its doors for good this month. They're slated to put away the boobage on December 21, the store manager explained to SFist. For a taste as to what Hooters has/had to offer, local writer Beth Spotswood visited the chain restaurant earlier this year. In part, she writes: "What I don’t understand is why you’d ever want to go to Hooters in the first place. Are boobs really that much of a novelty for the patrons of Hooters? Is proximity to hot chicks and gross food that much of a rarity? The sweet girls working there, lovely as they are, walk around in an incredibly unappealing uniform, like a sexed up version of the Hot Dog on a Stick ensemble. Of all the places on Fisherman’s Wharf to dine, why would anyone go to Hooters?"

Calif. Women's Group Files Complaints Against Hooters for Sexual Entertainment of Minors
California NOW (National Organization of Women) plans to file complaints today against local Hooters venues for violations of state and local laws covering sexual entertainment and minor children." For those of you not in the know, Hooters is a popular chain restaurant famous for employing waitresses who must wear tight t-shirts that show off their supple, perky, full breasts; hence the popular mammary gland sobriquet used as their brand name. California NOW will file complaints in San Francisco, Sacramento, Orange County, and San Bruno with police departments, District Attorneys, and the California Attorney General.
Hooters Waitresses Claim Bosses Swiped Tips
Hooters, the restaurant chain famous for employing waitresses with visibly erotic bustlines, is in hot water this morning. It seems eight former Hooters employees filed a class-action lawsuit against the boobs-and-food eatery, claiming that "management systematically stole their tips at four Bay Area restaurants." (Which, if you know anyone in the service industry, is rumored to be a practice not as uncommon as it should be.) And this wasn't some scant change either; the ex-Hooter employees say that the management theft "amounted to about $40 per day per restaurant over the past four years."
