Restaurant Review Says Waitresses Should “Show More Skin.” You’ll Be Glad The Owner Agrees…
May 21, 2014

When a customer of Atomic Grill in Morgantown, West Virginia left a review online suggesting that the female servers “show more skin,” owner Daniel McCawley completely agreed.



You’d think in this day and age such a suggestion would be ignored, but that’s not how they roll at Atomic Grill, apparently. This weekend, show up at the Morgantown eatery for all the skin you can handle.

Potato skins, that is…

Potato-Skins-from-Atomic-Grill

Over Memorial Day weekend, if you order their loaded potato skins, you will be making a donation to help women. The restaurant is donating 100% of the sales from that appetizer to the West Virginia Foundation for Rape Information and Services.




Says McCawley…

I’m a husband and a father of a 12 year old girl. I have five sisters and it was just offensive. If you have a minute, have some potato skins, try some fresh, local barbecue and give to a good cause. It’s important to us, it should be important to the community.

McCawley - you are awesome!! If you are near the Atomic Grill considering grabbing some skins this weekend!

1. Very cool guy and astute business owner. :-) Thanks for posting this. n/t

5. Thinking, how a great example of one man looking at the women around him as his porn...

And another man that looks at women around him as people.

[seaglass]

13. Yep. I'm guessing they deleted the reviewer's comments because he was getting confronted

for being such an ass. Unfortunately you know how these guys are, he'll probably blame it all on the feminists.

Nice to see you sea

[freshwest]

15. Reminds me of the song by Collin Raye "I Think About You..."

It's about a cop who sees women being hurt on the streets and domestic violence and says they should be treated with respect and caring, remembering that they are, or were, someone's little girl. Because he thinks of his own little girl.

I Think About You ~ Collin Raye

Every time I see a woman on a billboard sign

I think about you

Saying, "Drink this beer and you'll be mine"

I think about you

When an actress on a movie screen
Plays Lolita in some old man's dreams
It doesn't matter who she is

I think about you

When I see a pretty woman walking down the street

I think about you

Men look her up and down like she's some kind of treat

Oh, I think about you

She wouldn't dare talk to a stranger
Always has to be aware of the danger
It doesn't matter who she is

I think about you, eight years old, big blue eyes and a heart of gold

When I look at this world,
I think about you and I can't help but see that every woman used to be
Somebody's little girl, I think about you

Every time I hear people say it's never gonna change

I think about you

Like it's some kind of joke, some kind of game

Girl, I think about you

When I see a woman on the news
Who didn't ask to be abandoned or abused
It doesn't matter who she is

I think about you, eight years old, big blue eyes and a heart of gold

When I look at this world, I think about you and I can't help but see that every woman used to be
Somebody's little girl,

I think about you, eight years old, big blue eyes and a heart of gold

When I look at this world,
I think about you

I think about you

Oh, I think about you

Yeah, I think about you

I believe the owner of the cafe. The world is not all B&W, and some things are worth more than money.

There is a video to this song but some would find it objectionable, or it would be a trigger to some.

Because first, it's a cop scene. Second, the women are shown as victims of abuse from the sex trade or their spouses and friends, with black eyes, bruises and terror in their eyes. Third, it is a country music song.

There is a form of love and respect that does not lead to sexual relations. There are many men who think like this restaurant owner, but they will be dismissed.

38. One of my favorite...

Love Collin Raye. An under appreciated singer song writer and a C&W singer I listen too.

[seabeyond]

2. I love this man. That simple. it is not us women asking too much of men. I want to call, donate 20

For the sake of support with no skins.

3. What a great guy!

I hope they have a great turn out for this!

4. What a wonderful idea!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

6. Well played sir! nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

7. Pretty clever marketing

File this under the gotcha category.

[greatlaurel]

8. Bookmarking this so I can find the name of the restaurant in the future.

We will certainly stop at this eatery in the future, when we travel through Morgantown. Mr. McCawley is a stand up guy. He has my admiration for standing up to the ignorant restaurant critic.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

9. Is it bad that my first thought is of Buffalo Bill? N.T.

[DesertDiamond]

10. Sometimes people are so great they make me cry. I love this guy!!

[Whisp]

27. Me too. Am so very glad there are people like him out there.

His family and friends should be very proud of him. Here is a guy that stands up to misogynist shit and is not afraid his friends will call him wuss or some nonsense.

Bravo!

[sarge43]

11. Well done, sir.

Thank you. I wish I lived closer. Love me some potato skins and I'd like to hug a good man.

[theHandpuppet]

12. Terrific response!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

14. In the 70s our local A&W said they were going to have "topless carhops"...

The big day came and it was rollerskating guys in wigs.

[wryter2000]

19. LOL

Good for them!

[Tribalceltic]

16. A sign of hope

in a dreary world.

My family salutes this fine gentleman.

[IronLionZion]

17. Very cool, probably good for business too.

[MrScorpio]

18. I like the slice of his potato skins...

Well played, sir.

Well played!

[wryter2000]

20. I wish I could stop in and buy some

Mmmm. Potato skins.

[Enthusiast]

21. Those girls look like fun!

[irisblue]

22. I just called Mike @ the Atomic Grill(2:45pmEST)

the phone # is 304-241-1170. I left a donation so they will bring lunch to the WVa Foundation staff some day after 5/27. I told him I read this on Democratic Underground. Anyone else want to sent some potato skins for lunch?

[PumpkinAle]

24. Thank you :)

[seabeyond]

28. Good for. I am gonna starts thread when I get on puter for exactly this. Spread on FB.

So he was receptive? I was gonna cr card 20

[irisblue]

35. Just like when we sent the pizzas to Madison.

Easy peasy.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Clever Turnaround By McCawley

Bravo, sir!

[toddwv]

25. I've eaten there.

Everyone in my party liked their meal and they use local ingredient when possible. A bit pricey but worth it for the unique cuisine.

[Cha]

26. Lemons to Lemonade.. I love it! Thanks PumpkinAle~ nm

[noiretextatique]

29. perfect response to an asshole

kudos to the owner

[Sheldon Cooper]

30. I guess it's not enough to get good food cooked to order and brought to your table.

Apparently this customer also felt entitled to see female skin while he was at it. What an entitled ass.

Excellent response by the owner. Too bad he took the review down, it would be nice to see that asshole get clobbered with his own stupidity ad infinitum.

[Dorian Gray]

31. Great owner

looking out for the women who work for him.

[Raksha]

32. I thought this was such a clever response to a dumb request.

I shared it on my Facebook page right after someone posted it.

[elleng]

33. Just passed through Mo'Town

and won't be there soon, but shared this with my daughter WVU grad!

[JI7]

34. i would love to visit one day and will check this place out

if i ever get the chance.

[Hissyspit]

36. When I saw the headline

I thought it would say that all the waitresses had shaved their heads and donated to cancer research.

This is just as good, though.

[Solly Mack]

37. K&R

[CrispyQ]

39. Outstanding repsonse!
