Not Only Bad Taste But Tastes Bad, Too

Pabst and Hooters

Scraping the archives here. Everyone in the US knows this restaurant chain, known for its young waitresses in tight, low-cut tank tops. Only been once. It was this one downtown. One Saturday a colleague of mine and I (working too many weekends) met for lunch. This place was having a "soft opening," a final shake-down where people are invited to eat for free. Someone on the street invited us to come in. Free lunch? Sure.

It was awful. The whole concept was embarrassing. It seemed like everything on offer was fried and left our fingers slimy. And now they advertise Pabst Blue Ribbon, a beer known for being cheap and mediocre. Drinking it out of a can developed hipster cachet and they jacked up the price. McDonalds would have been better.
