If it has ever been your dream to sit on the commode while dining, eat off of a urinal, or simply enjoy a tasty “Golden Poop” dish, [today is your lucky day](http://la.eater.com/archives/2013/10/14/outrageously_themed_magic_restroom_cafe_soft_opens_serving_golden_poop_rice.php). I’m not as horrified as perhaps I should be, but I’m not going to be beating a path out there, either. ---

Only two things moderately disturbed me. The fact that toilet seats actually open up. (They do know its just a matter of time, right?) And the bowls themselves looking like toilets, the picture featuring some sort of beef stew looking dish… ---

There was (and may still be) a bar in New Orleans called The John that had toilet styled seats. ---

Well, people probably won’t linger at the tables - I can’t imagine sitting on a toilet for the duration of a meal would be very comfortable. Not a place I’d want to patronize… ---

> [@Folly](#): > > Only two things moderately disturbed me. The fact that toilet seats actually open up. (They do know its just a matter of time, right?) That was the first thing that crossed my mind. The only question will be if it’s done on purpose or by a customer who is just inebriated. ---

There’s a music venue/bar here in town that has toilet-seat art(?) hanging on the walls. A bunch of toilet seats with things painted on them, up for display on the walls. I’m not hip enough to understand it. I haven’t been back. ---

I’m cool with it, as long as you get free toilet paper with each meal. ---

Evidently the California folks didn’t come up with this all on their lonesome. It’s inspired by a restaurant in Taipei: > **[moderntoilet.com.tw](http://www.moderntoilet.com.tw/en/)** > > This domain may be for sale! You have to wonder – do they have restaurant-themed bathrooms there? Are there signs that say **Employees must wash hands before leaving Restaurant**? ---

I hear the bread’s really good, they pinch the loaf themselves. ---

I heard that sitting on toilets too long is unhealthy. My choc Lab loves drinking from toilet.
