Hooters Wing Party

Last night we had another wing party in Round Rock. Needless to say...my tummy no feel good this morning.

Nunnrey, have you had your party yet? The deadline is counting down.

Erik, do you have a report on your party yet?

Hooters Wing Parties

We knocked out our first of two Round Rock wing parties last night. Let this serve as a reminder to schedule in San Antonio and Dallas.

We ordered a batch of their hottest last night, and I guess we caught them on an off night--they weren't all that hot. We challenged them to make them hotter, but to no avail. Don't get the inconsistency on the heat. I've had them pretty darn hot before.

Tales From The Road Part I

It's that time of year again. Time for my yearly FL vacation. We left TX on Monday morn. Stefanie found these at a gas station in Louisiana.



Longtime readers know that I'll eat boiled peanuts shell and all, but I agree that frying them makes it easier.

Checked out the Hooters in Denham Springs, LA (right next to Bass Pro Shops).

We stayed a couple nights in Biloxi, but we didn't get into much fun. I did get to check out the Urgent Care place in B-town. I had an ingrown hair on my neck that got infected. I got a shot in the @ss, and then they cut out the offender. So, I'm now walking around with a big bandaid on my neck and instructions to:

1) Stay out of the sand
2) Stay out of the water
3) Don't drink

Now, 1 isn't a big deal to me. I can live with 2, but 3?

Anyway, we got to the condo this evening and it's pretty cool.



After some minor research I've also decided to test #3. I figure I'll drink until I feel bad. Then I'll know the limit, and can back off of it by 1.

What's Better Than One Hooters?

Thirteen Hooters

As John pointed out in Back from the big D, and I mean Dallas we decided to take on the challenge yesterday:

• ~9:00 AM - John makes the call and asks if we are going to do this today. I reluctantly agree.
• ~9:45 AM - Depart to run some errands and head to DFW
• 11:45 AM - Arrive at the Czech Stop for some kolaches
• 1:25 PM - #1 Hooters of South Arlington
• 1:43 PM - #2 Hooters of Ft. Worth; we go ahead and eat lunch here; John shows his philanthropic side and donate to charity to have his truck washed by the bikini team in the parking lot; we also saw some dummy hit the one nice (parked) vehicle in the parking lot...a Porsche
• 3:14 PM - #3 Hooters of North Richland
• 3:34 PM - #4 Hooters of Arlington
• 3:55 PM - #5 Hooters of Irving
• 4:18 PM - #6 Hooters of Grapevine; on the way to this one saw some chick throw her car in reverse on a ramp for a toll road...not a good idea
• 4:49 PM - #7 Hooters of Lewisville; this location had the best layout
• 5:23 PM - #8 Hooters of Addison; independently told by two sources (Tarkus and Erik) that this location has one of the best talent pools...we weren't too impressed
• 5:49 PM - #9 Hooters of Plano; on our way out John does his good deed for the day and changes a tire of some girl in the parking lot
• 6:34 PM - #10 Hooters of Mesquite; leaving this location we see a grass fire on the North side of I-30
• 6:59 PM - #11 Hooters of Dallas; the largest Hooters in the world; met Jeff, Kristin and Erik here for dinner
• 10:20 PM - Stop at the Czech Stop for round two of kolaches
• 10:43 PM - #12 Hooters of Waco
• 11:39 PM - #13 Hooters of Killeen
• 12:45 AM - Finally get home

If you are wondering how to take the fun out of Hooters...follow the above recipe. Anybody want to try and beat that single day record?

Back from the big D, and I mean Dallas

Ever been to 13 Hooters in one day? James will be posting a summary of our trip later. Just two more passport stamps here in Austin, and they'll be finished. I'm spent.

Hooters Girl Barstool Beer Trick

As someone that has been to a lot of Hooters in my time I don't think I can ever remember seeing this trick.

What are your plans, Jeff?

Today I see the Ding special for Southwest is $38 one-way from Austin to Dallas. And as John pointed out in How many wings can we eat??? there is some work to be done to hit 20 Hooters in Texas.

The proposal:

Jeff, how would you feel about picking us up at the airport and driving us around for a Hooters marathon in the DFW area? By my count it looks like there are 14 locations in the region. My guess is we would not be able to hit them all, but I would like to put down a challenge to drink one pitcher of beer at each location and see how far we can get. Are you up for the challenge?

And happy b-day, Aaron H....when do you want to host us for the Houston marathon?

How many wings can we eat???

Hooters is having another passport contest, but this time we can't lean on JT. It's Texas only. Can we get all the stamps in time? Will Nunnrey skip the reward again? These questions and more will be answered over the summer.

Nunnrey is a Bia - Reason #24

Remember back in March when John mentioned the beginning of chicken wing madness?  No...here's a refresher:

• Feb 2008 - JT, John, Nunnrey, me embark on the 2008 challenge to visit 25 of the restaurants so we can have the wing parties.  Can read the details in my original post from June.
• Nov 2008 - I receive completed passports in mail from JT as documented here.
• Nov 2008 continued - I fill out the required forms and go submit the completed passports via certified mail for John, Nunnrey and myself.
• Dec 2008 - Everyone receives certificates for their wing parties which must be completed by March 31, 2009 (this is key)
• Mar 2009 - JT kicks off chicken wing madness with the first party in Minnesota (although he didn't report it to any of us).  John has his party the following week.  I have mine two weeks after that.

Which brings us to now.  

Backtoms: But James...looks like you missed listing when Nunnrey had his party.  

James: Oh, I didn't miss anything...Nunnrey conveniently waited until the last day of the promotion and was unable to have a party.

Backtoms: But why would anyone give up a party for free chicken wings.

James: That is a good question.

So if you needed another reason about why Nunnrey is a bia...here you go.

Chicken Wing Party #2 Scheduled

And I'm claiming #2 since nobody else has yet...not sure what JT and Nunnrey have planned for their shindigs yet.

When: Thursday, March 19 starting ~6:00 PM

Where: Hooters of Round Rock

If any of you are in the area come on down and we'll eat wings, drink beer and watch basketball.

1 wing party down, 3 to go

March chicken wing madness has officially started. We had our first wing party last night (thanks JT!). Definitely not feeling 100% this morning.
