Naked dining!!

[Sriram]

Hi everyone,

Here is a CNN report about a naked dining restaurant in London.

I'm in a candlelit London restaurant, sitting opposite a total stranger on a workday afternoon, and we're both completely naked.

And weirdly, it's OK.
Mostly OK.

The restaurant is Bunyadi, a newly opened eatery in a quiet corner of central London that encourages customers to disrobe while enjoying a "natural" dining experience.

It's impossible not to surreptitiously double-take at the topless waitress leading the way through the candlelit maze of bamboo screens that almost shield diners from heavy scrutiny.

Then, once the eyes grow accustomed to the bare flesh of the young male and female waitstaff, things get (relatively) more normal.
Until it's time to strip off.

"I think people want to free themselves," he says. "I see it as a therapy, it's very liberating. People want it and we're just providing a location and a service."

Very near home for you guys!  Anyone been there or planning to?!

Cheers.

Two fried eggs and sausages, whatever made me think of them without chips?

Almost impossible to get in, I hear

What, the two fried eggs and sausages?
Two meatballs and a sausage might be easier.
I hope they have suitable disposable or towelling covers on the seats, a new one for each customer.  Other than that, who cares?  We have a Naked Chef (though I've never seen him), so why not a naturist restaurant?
Each to their own.

MEGA YUCK that would put me right off my grub!

[Brownie]

Yep, no meat and two veg for me either floo.

I'd be worried about spilling the soup in my lap.

I'd be worried about spilling the soup in my lap.

That could be awkward.

[Brownie]

Would they have Brazilian or traditional full English?

[Bubbles]

It doesn't appeal.

A waitress is expected to juggle lots of plates and things, that soup could be very hot if she tripped and spilt it on herself ( bad enough with clothing).

I don't think it would be that noticeable sat round a table, men would look like they had no shirt on.

If you were a short woman and had saggy boobs they might dip in the gravy   

Nah! I like dressing up to go out for a meal, makes it special.

[Brownie]

It does indeed Rose and is more sexy than being completely undressed - though the naturist diners are, presumably, not interested in sexiness.

Even though the waiting staff are naked, I expect they wear an apron or something to serve.  That makes sense, it's safer.
