Hooters of America CEO Sal Melilli talks about moving from working at the kitchen sink to in the C-suite, diversifying income streams, and celebrating 40 years of Hooters Girls.

Despite its extensive legal troubles, this restaurant chain, known for its chicken wings and scantily-clad waitresses, is still very much in business.

You might not remember it, but Hooters once had an airline. The restaurant chain launched an air service in 2003, and onboard every flight were two Hooters servers that helped tend to passengers.
