Chow Modern Toilet

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 2:29 PM

Truly in the vast pageant that is modern life, there is something for everyone, including a restaurant for those who would like to eat food out of a toilet while sitting on a toilet.

That's one way of getting rid of the middle man, but I'll never look at a KFC Bowl the same way

Duh, there are two of these restaurants within a couple blocks of your office (Lark and Quinn's).

Looking at the food, you have to wonder, did I already eat this?

Mein Toilet!

Eating from a toilet is sort of like recycling. In one end, out the other, back in again--the circle of life.

Well, they are getting press the world over. I think they'll do a lot better than most.

I'd love to eat some foie gras and then barf it up, and serve it to Buffoony Jean Clamcunt in a toilet bowl.

@2, actually, this is from Taiwan. I ate at the toilet-themed restaurant in Taipei a while ago. It's hilarious, because you order curry chicken because you know, you like curry chicken, but then they serve it to you in a mini toilet bowl and it looks like diarrhea, so you lose your appetite really fast...

@9, this is totally related to Japanese influence though. Gimmick restaurants are such a Japanese import.

I have a book coming in July about Crazy, Wacky Theme Restaurants in Tokyo, such as this one. Lots of wild photos and stories about ninjas, monsters and more! Check out www.lacarmina.com for details ^__^
