ShakyWalton Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 She is just trying to make poop cute.... In Toronto, a city crammed full of fine restaurants, famous chefs and innovative dining ventures, it would be difficult for anyone to create a new fad. But one George Brown College graduate is hoping her “Poop Café Dessert Bar” will cause the next big stink. Opening mid-August in Koreatown, Lien Nguyen’s cafe will offer an all-brown menu, in the shape of human stools. “I’m trying to make poop cute,” Ms Nguyen explained to the Toronto Star. She said she first discovered the concept when she was visiting her mother in Taiwan a few years ago. “We checked out a toilet-themed restaurant and I just loved it,” she said. “It’s funny to put food and poop together; it’s a great comparison. It stayed in my mind for a long time. As soon as I finished school, I said, ‘OK, I’m going to bring the restaurant to Toronto.’” The culinary management graduate said the menu will offer traditional Thai, Japanese and Korean desserts like patbingsoo (red beans with ice), as well as chocolate ice cream. Canadians will be asked to vote on the names before the menu is finalized. Diners will sit on fake toilets and eat their food out of lavatory and urinal-shaped dishes. Link to comment

nux_win Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I never quite got the fascination with that. Am I missing something or are there more interesting things to associate with food than that? Link to comment

Nucker 67 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Well, I know where I'm never going. Ms Nguyen and I don't see eye-to-eye on the whole sitting on a toilet eating poop-looking food. Link to comment
Twilight Sparkle Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 oh boy, when that ice cream falls on my chest. nevermind. Link to comment
Cramarossa Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 This should be in the weird food thread. This seems like a place I'd intentionally walk by to gawk at but never enter. Interesting idea. I wish her good luck! Link to comment
-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 What a crappy restaurant. Link to comment
Crabcakes Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 That toilet themed restaurant in Taiwan was featured on one of Anthony Bourdains shows. Just plain weird imo. https://www.google.ca/search?q=Anthony+Bourdain,+toilet+themed+resta&biw=1366&bih=653&tbm=isch&imgil=exVbzXXrLmd6VM%3A%3BWYY4cfu0gYYaxM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%252F2013%252F10%252F15%252Fmagic-restroom-cafe-_n_4101763.html&source=iu&pf=m&fir=exVbzXXrLmd6VM%3A%2CWYY4cfu0gYYaxM%2C_&usg=__n7kmh_S6wq0WHX5b6rH4da7vBH4%3D&ved=0ahUKEwih9ITYlZzOAhUKwmMKHY-DA6YQyjcIQA&ei=JSGdV-HNCYqEjwOPh46wCg#imgrc=exVbzXXrLmd6VM%3A Now this.....? It's not cheap to open a restaurant. I don't imagine she was able to finance it. Link to comment
