Well, "Fuddrucker's" is just a made-up name designed to sound dirty (a
marketing technique that never made much sense to me.)
"Hooters" is a genuinely offensive name for a place with a genuinely
offensive theme.
So there ya go.

That really comes down to personal opinion. I like going to the bird
sanctuary and looking at owls.

It's certainly a name you don't want to mispronounce, especially if
you're prone to switching consonants. :-)

It's not just a place, it's an airline:
http://www.hootersairline.com/
I had never heard of this until a few weeks ago when they announced
boarding for a Hooter's Flight at the gate next to mine. I started
laughing because I thought it was some kind of joke. The gentleman
sitting across from me rather sheephishly said, "I only take it
because it's a direct flight to Myrtle Beach" as he got up to board.
I bet he buys Playboy for the articles, too.
