When the Hooters in North Station closed, I was a little sad because that's where I used to watch UFC matches (they're not worth $40 on pay-per-view). But it looks like the dry spell is over, the new Hooters in Saugus is finally open and the Globe just reviewed it. Conclusion? A surprising number of families were there (women and children included) and if you're going to eat something, stick with the fried food.

The minute we pulled into the parking lot at Hooters on Route 1, we knew we weren't in for an ordinary night. Every spot was taken, and the first person we spotted was a teenage boy wearing an "I [heart] [heart] twins" T-shirt saying goodbye to a woman who appeared to be his mother. There was a line of people waiting to get in, and they weren't just men eager to ogle busty waitresses in skimpy orange shorts and tight tank tops. They were children, teenagers, grandparents . . . entire families milling about during the hour wait for a table.

...we recommend sticking with the fried stuff. Even the floor here is greasy, so why fight it?

UFC 89 is this Saturday and UFC 90 is the following week. Who's up for a trip to Saugus this weekend?
