Hooters has done a decent job thriving on controversy. The main difference is that the whole sports bar theme is well understood and accepted here while Japanese style meek and minuscule costumed maids serving up snacks to lonely otaku types would be an almost completely foreign concept where I live (7th largest city in the US). Houston might be able to pull it off though. Things seem to fly in Houston that would never fly in most US cities, such as grope-friendly strip clubs and risqué massage parlors. It's all technically illegal of course, but so are such clubs in most of Asia as well.

Come to Dallas. Lol, this place has taken Hooters to a whole new level: http://www.twinpeaksrestaurant.com/. Check out the scenic views section and tell me these girls don't make the idea of maid costumes and Hooters look tame. Dallas is the snobbiest place in Texas, but apparently the psuedo-sophistication doesn't extend to this.
