MSNBC News: By Candace Choi: 6.24.12

The waitresses at Twin Peaks wear skimpy plaid tops that accentuate their chests. In case you didn't catch the joke, the chain's logo is an image of two pointy, snow-capped mountains. And the sports bar doesn't stop there: It promises "scenic views."

Twin Peaks owner Randy DeWitt downplays all of that and insists that the appeal of the restaurant goes beyond the obvious. Hearty meals and a focus on making customers feel special, he says, are what really keeps them coming back.

"We believe in feeding the ego before feeding the stomach," he says. Or as the website of the mountain lodge-themed restaurant states, "Twin Peaks is about you, 'cause you're the man!"

1 Peter Chapter 2

11. Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

[Rose Dimov is a waitress at Tilted Kilt in Tempe, Ariz. The resaurant is part of a booming niche in the beleaguered industry of sports bars that feature scantily clad waitresses.]


Jeremiah Chapter 17

9. The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?


Mark Chapter 7

21. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22. Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

23. All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.


Jeremiah Chapter 17

10. I the LORD search the heart, try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings.

That's gross. Like we need anymore of this nonsense. I wonder what the men that support these places would think if there were places for woman to go eat with men in Speedos or some such thing. Somehow we're supposed to be okay with it. Disgusting. I'm so thankful for Christianity saving me so I wouldn't think things like this were "no big deal"

Sounds like someone's overactive imagination is playing right into all the hype.

If this hadn't been posted I probably would have never even heard of Twin Peaks.

You're right~now I'm enlightened

Ever hear of Chippendale's?

I'm not in favor of both. Objectifying a man or a woman is sinful behavior. But women aren't exempt from it.

I'm think I'm glad I lead a sheltered life. I have no idea what chippendale's is and I think I'd rather not.

You're probably right. But in case you can't stand the suspense, it's a strip club for women. As spectators, that is.

Chippendale's is a touring group of male strippers that can be hired to perform at clubs or private parties. It is not a club.

Again, no knowledge.

Las Vegas Show Detail | Chippendales

The Rio All-Suites is essentially the permanent club site for the dancers. My ex-wife married one of these guys. If you don't know, don't speak.

My pastor had caught a church member leaving Hooters as he was driving into the parking lot of a supermarket. He indirectly chastised him during a Sunday’s Service about 4yrs ago.

I don’t know who it was but his guilt & embarrassment had to been off the Richter-Scale. Totally not worth it.

I went to a Hooter's once and was unimpressed with both the food and the wait staff. I see hotter girls in the Sunday morning service.

I've heard of it, but it just seems like there's way more places that objectify woman. I know it's played on both sides. Just saying.

plenty of girls dress sexy in the summer, everywhere, it's just they are trained to be especially nice, which isn't really that bad. Girls at the pool in bikinis are dressed way sexier than girls at hooters.

That's precisely why I've never had a problem with Hooters. I can go out on the street during the spring and summer and see girls dressed far more immodestly than Hooters' girls.

Incidentally, at least three Hooters in our area have closed recently. I don't know what that means for the company, but given their great commercial location, that doesn't speak very well for their future.

As long as the food taste well, the restaurant is in a floorishing location, & the servers have a positive attitude, it will make a profit.

Promoting and persuading their employees to dress without discretion speaks volumes of what is in that CEO's heart.

Restaurant profit grows exponentially when men bring their famlies to eat with.

Can a loving man feel comfortable & be happy taking his wife/lover/girlfriend to that restaurant along with his daughter(s)?

Would he be proud telling his wife at home,"I'll pass on dinner tonight because I already ate at a Breastaurant"?

You are absolutely right. Men do objectify women far more often that women do the same for men. It does happen, but I believe the men who point it out are maybe trying to validate their own "guilty pleasures". I mean after all two wrongs certainly make a right doesn't it?

It's sad that so many young women feel it is acceptable to allow their bodies to be the measure of their worth. And to a much lesser degree, young men doing the same.

I've been hearing all this hype about the new movie Magic Mike and even heard some of my friends, men of course, saying it looks disgusting. I personally would not want to see it, being a heterosexual male, but I don't think it's anymore degrading than 75% of what Hollywood is putting out today. It's just that the table is turned and NOW it's uncomfortable for some men. It's actually kind of funny actually.

Anyways, got completely off topic. I have been to a Hooters before. Actually it was a manager's meeting for a company I used to work for. Looking back on it, I'm surprised someone didn't raise an objection to the location, but I remember it being pretty lame. Still not the kind of place I would take my family. But I guess if you have no respect for the opposite sex, you're probably going to like it.
