by Bryce Covert Posted on May 21, 2014
UrbanSpoon
review : “show more skin” owner Daniel McCawley felt it went too far
His response wasn’t to lash out at the reviewer, however. Instead, the restaurant is
offering a potato skins special
, selling them for $7 through Memorial Day, asking customers to “Come out and help Atomic show our skins! Potato skins, that is!” Profits from the special will be donated to the West Virginia Foundation for Rape Information Services. When asked about the decision to donate the money, McCawley said, “We’ve got to put our money where our mouth is.” He explained that the organization does a lot for women’s rights in West Virginia. “It seemed like a no-brainer there.”Slide12
