Is It Better To Work At Hooters Or Twin Peaks?

Hooters may have pioneered the concept, but competing chains like Twin Peaks have pushed the concept of “attentive service” restaurants (or, as they’re more casually known, “breastraunts”) so far that they almost make the orange-short-and-tank-top wearing Hooters girls seem downright wholesome by comparison.

The lawsuit was settled out of court in 2012, with neither company acknowledging wrongdoing, and no financial compensation paid; Twin Peaks pinky-swore not to use the information they had obtained, and assured Hooters that no further use of “misappropriated information” would take place.

On the surface, Twin Peaks was a simple show about the investigation of the disappearance of the local homecoming queen, but the numerous Lynchian twists and turns, which incorporated elements of horror, surrealism, the supernatural, and boatloads of soap opera-style campiness, propelled the series to cult classic status after only two seasons.

In 2018, two former servers at Twin Peaks filed a complaint alleging that they were harassed at a Chicago area location of the restaurant, claiming that working there was tantamount to “work at a strip cub.”
