Funy story, but back when MagicJack came around, I had wondered why a local company like Hooter's, Beef's, or Checkers/Rallys (all local companies) hadn't stepped up. I guess I spoke too soon.

Hell, I think Winghouse is too. All 3 could have teamed up to make it the Skanky Bitches wearing Pantyhose servin' you Wings Bowl! Hmmm, USF + Beef Bowl + enclosed stadium...sounds like a slaughterhouse. Beef's is also a native Tampa restaurant chain... the first one is located in Brandon.
