The food: where these dishes come from

Hooters is known for Buffalo wings. The stories are about the dishes, not the brand, and live on PlateTales.

This is a Hooters location. How Hooters's 48 Florida stores compare with their counties.

A routine inspection is one visit on one day. Inspectors in different counties record violations differently, so compare a count with its county average, not with a restaurant in another county.
