Chow / Books Vampire Hunger

Oh dear: Twi-hards will have a Twilight-themed restaurant to enjoy the next time they visit Forks ("Home of Twilight's Edward Cullen®").

FORKS, Wash. (AP) - A new restaurant planned to open next year in Forks will be called Volterra after a city in the Twilight vampire novels, which are set in Forks.

Owners Annette and Tim Root told The Peninsula Daily News it will be a family restaurant, and they have applied for a liquor license.

Skinny emo-looking boys in the Forks area should consider applying to work as waiters in this restaurant. If they wear a little bit of glitter, they'll be getting laid all the time. I wonder if any confused Twilight fans will wander into Volterra up in Ballard by mistake. If they do, I would like to urge them to try the wild boar. It's really wonderful.

Well I doubt that Twilight-themed restaurant will have this poster up on their wall: http://pix.motivatedphotos.com/2009/6/19…

This is madness!! You've just made a slightly inconvenient enemy Forks!

I wonder if it will be at the old Vagabond (gag-n-vomit) site. The upstairs lounge has carpeted walls!

You know, it's hard to be too critical of people in the Forks and PA areas for trying to cash in the Twilight thing. That area has been in economic trouble for ages, and I'm glad people have found ways to open new businesses (and create jobs--in a recession!). The increase in tourism the novels and movies have created is highly welcome out there, I know. So, yes, be critical of it maybe on esthetic grounds or whatever, but there's a lot of good in it, too.

Paul, I think the preferred name for Twilight fans is twi-tards.
