Twin Peaks Restaurant plans to open its first Louisiana location in November on Siegen Lane. The restaurant will go into the old Shoney’s building, which was recently home for Osaka Japanese restaurant. Twin Peaks falls into the same category as Hooters, employing an all-female waitstaff clad in skimpy uniforms. The restaurant specializes in guy-friendly dishes, such as hamburgers, wings and nachos, along with ice-cold draft beer. Nation’s Restaurant News dubbed Twin Peaks as a hot concept in 2010. Jim Clark and Cotton Lloyd, who have the local Twin Peaks franchise, plan to open another location in New Orleans next year. Randy DeWitt, CEO of Twin Peaks, which is based in Addison, Texas, says the company had been looking at entering the Louisiana market for years, because it’s a “state that appreciates quality food, a great bar and attractive women.” He says, “It was just a matter of finding the right franchisee.” —Timothy Boone
