 DALLAS -- An all-male restaurant inspired by Hooters is now open for business in Dallas. 
 
 The restaurant, named Tallywackers, hires attractive men and serves comfort food including steaks, pizzas, pasta, and hot dogs. 
 
 The restaurant's grand opening was on Saturday. 
 
 Tallywackers says their restaurant is a "bar, restaurant and entertainment destination for everyone. There is eye-candy -- for boys and girls -- great food and a really good time." 
 
 Just as the “Hooters” name is a play on a euphemism for women’s breasts, “Tallywackers” is a not-so-subtle nod to men’s genitals. Guests will be able to choose their scantily clad waiter prior to ordering. 
 
 Owner Rodney Duke told the hosts of the Kidd Kraddick Morning Show last month that “he has pondered for 10 years why there wasn’t a male equivalent of this type of 'breastaurant' eatery where women are dressed in skimpy and revealing clothing.” 
 
 "I expected to see cute men scantily clad. And so far, I'm not disappointed," a customer told KDAF on Saturday. 
 
 The waiters are fully clothed while serving food, as required by the City of Dallas Health Department. 
 
 "The establishment will be a fun, respectable environment — of course with a little eye candy," Tallywackers spokesman Winston Lackey told the New York Daily News last month. 
 
 The restaurant hired 24 young men to serve cocktails and food. More than 125 people applied for the positions, the restaurant said in a statement. 
 
 The restaurant said last month they plan to open another location in Houston. 
 
 Report a typo ||||| The Texas eatery that promised to put a male spin on the popular Hooters franchise has opened for business. 
 
 Clad in short shorts and skin-tight tank tops, hunky waiters welcomed an enthusiastic crowd to Dallas' Tallywackers this weekend, local news station KDAF reported. One delighted customer said he'd hoped to see "cute men, scantily clad," and wasn't disappointed with the experience. 
 
 "I think it's about time men had a place to go to -- gay men, at least -- instead of places like Hooters and Twin Peaks," he told the network. 
 
 In late April, a spokesperson told The Huffington Post that Tallywackers, the name of which is a not-so-subtle nod to men's genitals, was devised for beefcake-seeking diners. 
 
 [Owner Rodney Duke] asked himself the same question we’ve all been asking for years, “Why isn’t there a male version for the opposite demographic?” After thorough planning and scouting for the perfect location we are excited to launch Tallywackers, a Bar, Restaurant, and Live Entertainment venue here in the heart of Dallas, Texas. 
 
 The restaurant is situated in Dallas's Oak Lawn neighborhood, which has a large gay population. Still, the spokesperson stressed that Tallywackers is a place for all customers. 
 
 "While we are aiming towards the LGBT community as part of our audience, we are also expecting and welcome, a diverse clientele including women," the spokesperson told HuffPost in April. 
 
 Sinewy staff members aside, the restaurant offers a diverse menu of salads, steaks, pasta and flatbread pizzas. Meanwhile, plans for a second location, to be situated in Houston, are in the works. 
 
 H/T Towleroad ||||| ROSWELL, Ga. — Don Thomas is a longtime regular at a Hooters in Roswell, Georgia. 
 
 But it’s not the beer or the chicken wings that kept him and his wife coming back. Instead, it’s the generosity of one of the waitress who offered him the gift of life. 
 
 After learning that Thomas lost both his kidneys to cancer, waitress Mariana Villarreal offered him one of hers. 
 
 Villarreal doesn’t know Thomas outside of work, but she said felt it was a higher calling since her grandmother recently passed away from kidney failure. 
 
 “I wasn’t able to do anything for my grandma. If he can live two more years happy as he’s ever been, that’s completely fine with me,” Villarreal said. “I did my part, now it’s God’s part to keep him alive.” 
 
 Now Don will have a new life, thanks to a special bond born at the unlikeliest of places.

– First, there was Hooters—now there's Tallywackers. Get the idea? An all-male version of the not-named-after-owls restaurant opened in Dallas over the weekend with good-looking guys serving American fare like hot dogs, pizzas, and steaks, KFOR 4 reports. The owner, Rodney Duke, said last month on a morning show that, for a decade, he had wondered why there was no male version of the so-called "breastaurant" eateries that feature scantily-clad female servers. Now there is one, and while his servers do wear clothes, per Dallas health regulations, they're not exactly overdressed. Tallywackers provides "eye-candy—for boys and girls—great food and a really good time," the restaurant says. Boys and girls? Yep, Tallywackers is located in the Oak Lawn neighborhood, which has a good-size gay population, Huffington Post reports. "While we are aiming toward the LGBT community as part of our audience, we are also expecting, and welcome, a diverse clientele including women," a Tallywackers rep said in April. One wonders whether the servers can outperform Mariana Villarreal, a Hooters waitress in Roswell, Ga., who donated a kidney to a longtime customer with cancer, as KFOR 4 reports. "If he can live two more years happy as he’s ever been, that’s completely fine with me," she says. (This restaurant owner had an interesting solution when a customer complained his servers should show more skin.)
