Editor’s Note: A number of South Florida restaurants have resumed indoor and outdoor dining services. However, this should not be taken as endorsement for on-site dining, as there are still safety concerns: for updated information on coronavirus cases in your area, please visit the Florida Health Department’s website. Studies indicate that there is a lower exposure risk when outdoors, but the level of risk involved with patio dining is contingent on restaurants following strict social distancing and other safety guidelines.

Hooters (Multiple locations)

Obviously, the only reason to go to Hooters for is the wings. (Ahem.) But while there, order them anyway – its “Nearly World Famous” wings come classic, boneless or gourmet-style (the last of which adds on a bottle of Dom Pérignon), and are flavored with a choice of 11 sauces.
