The Power of a Chicken Wing

There are various things I was certain I would never be able to fully appreciate nor enjoy doing growing up in NY, going to school in Boston or while living in North Carolina. Of all of my newfound activities, likes and loves, non suprised me more than my new top two, football and chicken wings... preferably at the same time.

So here I am, living in Panama and I can hardly think for wanting the taste of crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside wings doused in marinade and dipped in sauce. My eyes are blurry in desperate search of a football game. And so goes the story of...

How Hooters Became One of My New Favorite Restaurants, in Panama.

While on the phone with my father one Sunday I mentioned my day's plans and he asked me when I had jumped ship. I protested explaining I hardly even notice the hoards of well endowned women serving me my food and he told me I was missing the point entirely.

Hooters, Panama City somehow conveys a totally different vibe from any I've ever been to. Hooters is a family restaurant! A place for couples to go on dates! A place where a group of women can order "margaritas 2x1" and fresh yummy salads. Oh yes, my friends, you will actually see a fair number of high chairs during a weekend lunch.

All this time I've lived in Panama and have suddenly discovered the wonderfullness of Hooters... its wings and its sports! My newfound loves. The food is consistently delicious and the service is pretty awesome. Smiling friendly waitresses consistently check-in at your table and food comes out well before I've started eating fingers. The salads are huge with crunchy lettuce and great grilled or fried chicken. The wings come with a myriad of marinade options and the appetizers are always quick to the table and well portioned.

Not only is the food scrumptious but they actually have just about every channel one can get while in Panama! They consistently show NFL, college football and basketball, UFC, boxing, you name it and they always have drink specials to go with it.

Hooters Panama is located on the corner of Calle 50 and the end of Calle Uruguay. 229 1744 for reservations.
