Try my hot dog
WEST HOLLYWOOD – The restaurant enterprise Hooters is a big success. There are now 346 Hooters restaurants in several countries and there are more on the way. Al Jensen, a former Denny’s manager, figured there was room for another anatomy themed restaurant – Hooters is more about breasts than it is about owls – and so last year he took out a loan and opened Peckers. The restaurant, which uses a cute woodpecker logo, serves over fifty varieties of hot dogs in various shapes and sizes. The waiters at Peckers wear anatomy revealing tight shorts and their conversations with customers often include innuendo laced questions like: Do you like your hot dog in a bun? Do you want mayonnaise smothered on your hot dog? What size hot dog do you want?
But Jensen insists that it’s all on the up and up; it’s about the food. “Sure, we probably have some people who come in to look at the guys,” says the rotund Jensen,”but if the hot dogs sucked I’d be out of business.” And if you have the necessary equipment and you need a job, you’d be wise to head on down to Peckers because Jensen is looking for a few good men to help him open his second restaurant this fall. “Just remember”, added Jensen, “no stuffing socks down there. We’re an all natural restaurant.”
