A Florida Steakhouse Is Offering A Nude Dining Experience

A Florida steakhouse is bravely abandoning the barrier between its furniture and patrons’ meat sweats. The C.L.A.S.S. Soiree Steakhouse in Hollywood offered its second nude fine-dining experience this week, in which a group of 20 people was allowed to strip down behind thick blackout curtains to slurp up tomato bisque.

My taste buds are up here, buddy. Chef and owner Maurad Ali said he started offering the bare beef banquet on the first Monday of every month to set his restaurant apart from rivals. Tickets for the dinner cost $150 for women, $250 for men (an ogle tax, if you will), and $300 for couples. That price includes a multi-course meal, as well as a silk bathrobe, lap towel, and custom leather seat cushion:

  • The dinner begins with a champagne toast from the resident nudist-in-chief to “being free.”
  • Ali isn’t worried about diners spilling soup and other hot dishes while au naturel. “Everybody should know that when you sit down and eat soup, you bend over the table—that’s why God gave you a neck,” he told the Sun Sentinel.

Is this legal? Apparently, yes. The evening is above board since it’s a private dinner, and the staff is fully clothed because of all the bending over.—MM
