Would you like to eat dinner at a nude restaurant?

No.

I can’t help but wonder if the people who do decide to go, and actually show up naked, are some of the same people who won’t sit on a toilet seat in a public restroom.

No.

Could I wear a lobster bib?

And something to cover my butt. I would not want my pristine derriere to have direct contact with a seat that had been exposed to someone else’s offensive effluent and emanations.
That would kill my appetite..

No, because 90 percent of people’s bodies are just hideous.

If you read the article…

There are bamboo partitions between the tables for a semblance of privacy, and the cost of dinner includes a robe that you sit on, then take home with you. Cell phones and photography are banned.

I’d try it. Why not?

no way Jose! I’m way too conservative to do that

Can you say, “gimmick”?

Pop-up restaurants, also called supper clubs, are temporary restaurants.

“The idea behind the restaurant sounds simple: Create a dining experience that is stripped of modern, industrialized impurities, such as artificial colors, chemicals and gas, metal and plastic in the kitchen and electric lights, smartphones and clothing in the dining area.”
Butt for the fact that the restaurant is “clothing optional”. So it would only be your tiny little “partitioned” area that would be “stripped”, and then only if your tablemates agreed.

It’s not a serious dining concept. It’s a way to make news, then make money off making news.

@Seek If I get a robe then I’d be game too. I love lounging in a robe. I wouldn’t go there on my dime, but I’d be willing to go.

@ibstubro – Gimmicks can be fun.

Yes, they can be, @Seek. But at $90 ahem a head, I’d prefer they concentrate on the food and service.
I mean, the only people you’re likely to see nude are your table mates. You keep your clothes on until entering the dining room, which resembles a honeycomb of flimsy partisans. If you have the money and desire to seek the paparazzi, go for it.

I could eat nude at home any time I want. And I don’t. Because I think it’s kind of gross.

What about the hotel staff? Will they be in the same outfits as customers :))

The wait staff is going to have minimal clothing for hygienic purposes. The kitchen staff will be fully clothed.

Anthony Bourdain wrote about the joys of eating barefoot.

I love eating naked. I don’t do it with my wife because we like to build a sense of occasion when dining on meals we made ourselves.

Note that I enjoy clothing optional resorts, etc., But clothes are required for public dining at all of the establishments I’ve visited.

Nude public dining just doesn’t seem to have much of a point to me.

Nude drinking? That would be a different matter.

Not if they allow people to sit on tables but otherwise, sure.

Hell no. Then I’d have to get up and wash my hands after I scratch my ass.

No. I just don’t see what the point would be.

Would it add anything to the experience of dining out? Would it make the food any better? Would it make everything more comfortable?

My guess would be a resounding NO. if I’m going to spend $90 for a meal, I want that amount going toward excellent quality of the food and superior preparation methods.

I would spend that much to experience the skills and tastes produced by one of the top knotch chefs of molecular gastronomy (like Wylie Dufresne, Jose Andres or Homaro Cantu) because they do some wonderfully creative and delicious things. It would be a memorable once in a lifetime experience.

Dining nude isn’t particularly creative or comfortable. Cavemen did it. Big deal. I’d rather go forwards than backwards.

Stupid gimmick for Londoners who have more money than sense. What a lot of pretentious nonsense.

no thanks

No. I would not eat at a nude restaurant. The only place I’d be nude is at home or the locker room.
