has anyone tried the food at Twin Peaks?
Im sure the scenery is good, but what about the food.

Hasn't opened yet as far as I'm aware of.

Actually, I've heard it's open today.  I'm expecting a more redneck Hooters.

I hope the concept doesn't fall flat on it's chest.

That's like saying a more Redneck Trans-Am.

I hope they aren't a bust.

As opposed to the fancy dress-up Hooters we have now. 

"I like that new Twin Peaks eatin place.  They don't have all that fancy-pants silverware and stuff.  Just good down-home cookin like Mamas."

Interesting aside.

Twin Peaks is an old gay bar in SF located where Castro meetings Market.

Sorry, I know this doesn't feed the current fantasy you guys have having.

Back to Las Montanas ....

Morbid curiosity got the better of me and my fiancee, so we went down this weekend.

My initial impression of the chain as a more redneck Hooters turned out to be correct.  The cuisine is less fried wings and more fried pork products, with things like ribs and country fried steak and ham and such.  Though it still leans heavily toward your average bar food.  The food wasn't awful, though the burger I ate contained more pepper than I ate in the last six months.  I'm guessing that's to encourage you to drink more.

The servers were cut from a different cloth than Hooters girls... they tended to have painful-looking fake bake tans and protruding pelvis bones.  Our server even had a little white nub where her right incisor should have been.  They didn't seem as flirty as Hooters, either.  Other than the girls, the decor and atmosphere was very Bass Pro lite, with little of the playful, over-the-top goofiness a restaurant named after boobs needs to have. 

I can't recommend it.

The real question, did she (and the other servers) have impressive 'peaks'?? 

My thoughts exactly.

Haha, no.  In fact there was only one that night that could be considered larger than average, and that's only if you're being generous (if that's the standard you're looking for).  Most were on the small side.

Then again, most Hooters girls are pretty average-sized.

Erm, not that I notice such things.  It's about the food!  I swear!

So what's up with the big block of frozen beer in my beer?

Here's a vid from Tulsa World:

Ha! It was like a commercial, but free.

Totally original concept according to the manager:

Cold Beer- check
Rustic, ecclectic Look- check
Waitresses with large breasticles- check
Skimpy Uniforms- check
Lots of TVs w/ Sports- check
Man food- check

Sounds familiar...

Is there anyone else kind of grossed out by the beer iceberg?

There's an establishment I make a quarterly or so trip to at about the 3800 block of S Sheridan where that list could be duplicated.

 ;D

The California car wash, right?

I usually have to go there afterwards to power-wash the glitte....oh, never mind.

 ;D

That's boomerang and I always thought the two businesses should cross-promote.

There's actually one across the street and one right next door.  I think the one across the street is the California.

i was thinking the same thing. i'm not a beer drinker, but my friends that are all say that anything below 40 degrees is too cold as it basically freezes your tongue to the point taste is hindered. then again, i guess it doesn't matter if it a typical macrobrew.

Yeah I guess the less I can taste something like a Coors or Budweiser the better.

The one across the street is ClearWater or CleanWater.. something along that line.
