Servers at Kung Fu Kitchen & Sushi learned that lesson the hard way when they started offering patrons sushi served on naked men and women to the tune of $500 per “human platter” last month. They’ve had three naked sushi parties in all. “There’s a lot of things you don’t think about when it comes to naked sushi,” restaurant owner Nathan Lieberman told ABCNews.com. “Now, we put plastic over the nipples, like Saran, and then we cover the nipples in wasabi.” Lieberman said naked sushi was the brainchild of Chef Glenn Lopez, who works in the kitchen. Lieberman figured the Japanese have been dining off naked bodies for “thousands of years” and wanted to give his patrons “the royal treatment” for Miami Spice, the city’s restaurant month, he said. Initially, Lieberman said he was going to hire models from a modeling agency, but his servers begged him for the job. “I have a very good-looking staff,” he said. “They said, ‘We want the money, and we like to be naked.’” When a bachelorette party requested a male model, they used one of their sushi chefs, “a real stud,” Lieberman said. The pre-booked naked sushi event serves about 10 people and includes sake and the occasional conversation tidbit from the person under the sushi.
