No Shoes, No Shirt … Service! All-Naked Restaurant to Open in London From yesterday NBC News: Quote: Brits will soon be able to dine in the buff at a new all-naked restaurant where the waitstaff and clientele will wear nothing but their birthday suits. Opening in June, London's Bunyadi restaurant expands the concept of "natural" to include "au naturel," offering stripped-down decor, lighting, menu items — and patrons. "The idea is to experience true liberation," said founder Seb Lyall in a press release announcing the venture. "People should get the chance to enjoy and experience a night out without any impurities: no chemicals, no artificial colors, no electricity, no gas, no phone and even no clothes if they wish to." http://www.nbcnews.com/business/busi...london-n559766

Any man with a beard that was working in the kitchen without a hair net was a critical health code violation. Same if a person's hair wasn't restrained. One of my co-workers always looked funny with a beard hair net under his chin and then a bald shaved head.

All-Naked Restaurant to Open in London A number of years ago, I had to find a hotel room for someone. He gave me a list of parameters in what he wanted. So I searched, found what seemed to be a perfect fit for him. I was about to call to reserve and saw "clothing optional" in the description. So I found something else instead. __________________ Jesus, protect and save the unborn.

ICXC NIKA I think you have it all wrong, I think they're issue is with the fact that we as a society are embracing "immodesty", as such, an all-naked restaurant represents for those of us who see the moral regression of our current culture, as another step in the wrong direction. __________________ Don't say: "That person gets on my nerves."

There are certain body openings that are normally covered by clothing, through which internal body microbes exude. Clothing provides a barrier between those microbes and other bodies. So there is an issue, although I am sure that the owners, and the city, have taken it into account. And not being a modesty enforcer, that's good enough for me.

I mean, you're being forced to go to an all-naked restaurant. It's optional. If one was ever created in my area, I just wouldn't go to it. Doesn't feel like the type of thing to get worked up over.   #56   Apr 24, '16, 5:40 pm josie L Forum Elder   Join Date: October 24, 2008 Posts: 18,591 Religion: Catholic Re: No Shoes, No Shirt … Service!

Obviously, I wouldn't go to this restaurant, but I was asked by another poster why it would be unhygienic to eat at an all-naked restaurant, and I answered him as honestly as I could. __________________ Don't say: "That person gets on my nerves."

All-Naked Restaurant to Open in London I do not consider myself to be a prude. I am not among the "modesty police" faction, nor for that matter is Pope Francis. Recall that he said if a baby is hungry, he supports mother's breastfeeding their children in public - even in the Sistine Chapel. He explicitly came out in support of public breast-feeding. I have no fear of human flesh. Now a "prude" would say, 'No, I don't want to see a woman's breast in a holy place, it might give me an occasion to sin' or such. That's not me. Like the Pope, if the woman feels she needs to breastfeed her baby, go for it in my book. Flesh is flesh and God created it. That said, I do not like the idea of this restaurant. At all. I do not want to see genitalia at my dinner table. For me upper body nudity is distinct from lower body - i.e. the chest and breasts are of a different character from the genitals. In a hot climate, upper body nudity has its place. It is societally accepted for men, for instance, to take their tops off - even in a restaurant in a resort. However the genitalia IMHO has its proper place and its not in public, or at the dinner table. There is a great amount of germs and infections that can be passed from these very sensitive areas - through urine, excrement and other secretions - quite apart from the fact that I would find them exceedingly unappealing to look at while eating. I'm not saying a nudist cannot go to a specially defined place and congregate with other nudists, if that's there thing. And if they are OK eating in the buff with genitalia in front of them, fine -- good for them, I'm not fussed. Bon appétit. Personally though, I think its rather in poor taste and I would certainly never do it. And come to mind, there could be some really nasty accidents warranting hospital treatment in an emergency ward. What if someone orders a dish with roasting hot, melted cheese or with a lot of sizzle? __________________ With insight into the futility of narrow nationalistic politics, the countries of Europe which have agreed to delegate sovereignty to a supranational organism have embarked on a salutary way - Pope Pius XII (1957) Last edited by Vouthon; Apr 25, '16 at 4:50 am.   #60   Apr 25, '16, 5:08 am jtauke Regular Member   Join Date: January 2, 2015 Posts: 1,242 Religion: Roman Catholic Re: No Shoes, No Shirt … Service!

All-Naked Restaurant to Open in London I gotta say, a lot of the responses from people have me wondering about whether they actually read the article. 1.) Tables are blocked off via bamboo partitions, so you can't see other tables, so comments about wandering eyes are irrelevant. 2.) Nudity is not a requirement of the restaurant. You can eat clothed if you so desire. 3.) They have dressing rooms for people to change in. As well as robes for people to wear to their tables. The robe is included in the price of the meal, and yours to keep. 4.) Patrons will sit on the above mentioned robes to avoid "unsanitary contact" with the wicker seating 5.) Nowhere is it said that the wait or cook staff is naked.

If a group of adults want to eat a meal naked. That's their prerogative. If you don't like it, that's fine, don't eat there. Otherwise, what right do you have to tell them they can't do something that's perfectly legal .   #67   Apr 25, '16, 11:28 am Thorolfr Regular Member   Join Date: November 4, 2014 Posts: 5,628 Religion: Lutheran (ELCA) Re: No Shoes, No Shirt … Service!

About 17 years ago I went to Burning Man in the Nevada desert and there were a lot of people walking around in the nude. After about a day, I hardly noticed any more.   #68   Apr 25, '16, 5:44 pm josie L Forum Elder   Join Date: October 24, 2008 Posts: 18,591 Religion: Catholic Re: No Shoes, No Shirt … Service!

We live in a sex-saturated society, so yes, in these times anything concerning the naked form is now linked to sex. But that's not me putting forward the premise, that's what its become. Even if something is perfectly legal, does it signify that it is step in the right direction for mankind? Can we call this progress? __________________ Don't say: "That person gets on my nerves."

All-Naked Restaurant to Open in London Modesty is culturally defined. In the middle-east they have the burka while in Europe and Russia public stripping off to enter pools, oceans, even public fountains by children until their early teens is normal. This cultural variance has led me to the opinion that modesty is a function of 1) the intention of the participant and far more importantly 2) personal interpretation in that I alone am responsible for my own immodest thoughts, reactions, etc. in response to whatever I may be exposed to. Having visited England on many occasions I sense that the intent of this restaurant is to be deliberately provocative. That intention is what makes the place immodest, not the activity itself.   #78   Apr 28, '16, 3:17 pm josie L Forum Elder   Join Date: October 24, 2008 Posts: 18,591 Religion: Catholic Re: No Shoes, No Shirt … Service!
