    I lived in Forks very briefly about 23 years ago. If they couldn't make a go with the Giant Slug aficionados, I guess Twilighters might be a good backup plan.
    (slugs the size of your forearm. Ugh.) #twilightrestaurant

    @buttercupia: There is much about your comment that interests me. Are there lots of giant slugs around forks? Are you a giant slug afficionado? Do they sparkle?

    I kind of like the idea of a giant slug, in the same way I find those giant African land snails really endearing. #twilightrestaurant

    @SchizotypalVamp: I think someone got busted smuggling a bunch into Australia a few years ago. They were all put down, of course, and while I salute my country's attempts to protect its native species - zomg giant snails! I want one! I would walk it (very slowly) on a leash! #twilightrestaurant

    Forks has been a dying timber town for decades- Twilight has been so wonderful for this depressed area! As a Port Angeles native, I couldn't be more excited! #twilightrestaurant

    @RedSharpie: My neck of the woods, too, and I think Twilight is great for us all! The whole state is benefiting. I was down in Long Beach, which is at the complete other end of the state, and they sold Twi-stuff in all the shops there, too. I guess the tourists think the whole state has a vampire problem! Just leave your money at the door! #twilightrestaurant

    So I broke down and took my seventeen-year-old sister to Forks last year for a weekend. I will say the national forest there is beautiful as are the beaches. And as someone who grew up in a small, dying, coastal town, it was kind of neat to see how excited people there were about Twilight. Sort of a, "It may be silly, but if it brings jobs, why not?" thing.

    And washington state law doesn't allow tip credit, so servers make 8.55 an hour plus tips, making it a lot more lucrative than any other minimum wage job. As ridiculous as this may be, I suspect this restauraunt will be a net good. #twilightrestaurant

    They should have nothing but empty plates, as Edward cannot partake of human food, and Bella is always so overcome with "the emotions" and "the hornies" that she is forever forgetting to eat. #twilightrestaurant

    My mom told me that Forks was one of the most desolate, end-of-the-world places she ever visited. Beautiful, but wild and there's not a hell of a lot to do.

    So all these people flocking there because of a fictional story just makes me shake my head. #twilightrestaurant

    Forks is such a tiny little town - I'm happy to hear that they are exploiting Twilight while they can. Port Angeles too! #twilightrestaurant

    @Luckwouldhaveit: I just laughed at how Port Angeles was described in the books--in my experience, it was a little run-down. But then, I only went there three times, and two of those times were to catch the Coho to Victoria. #twilightrestaurant
