Florida: Torch Cafe's delish dish delight!

If you think airport screening is the only thing these days that's all about nudity, stop in for lunch at Torch Bistro, Sushi and Marine Bar in Punta Gorda Florida. The resort town is just up the state’s west coast from Fort Myers.

When you go to the sushi buffet table, you’ll find a nearly nude young woman lying there. In addition to filling your eyes, you can fill your plate with Asian food bits that are placed on her arms, legs and torso at various ladylike spots. Customers love the idea, especially the guys.

Apparently, there’s nothing illegal about the food-on-babe presentation. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation inspected the set-up and has no objection, as long as “all food contact surfaces be smooth and easily cleaned." Actually, the edible food doesn’t touch the girl’s body, because each piece is presented on a leat or seaweed plate.

So, next time you’re going through security at the airport, glue some food pieces on your vital parts and offer those groping screeners a bite.

Was that Al Capone who just served our soup? The waitress looks like Bonnie, and busboy’s name may be Clyde. When you’re wandering in the City by the Bay, consider stopping for a bite at Cala. It’s an upscale, Mexican-style seafood restaurant that also functions as a rehab project for many of the city’s former jail inmates. They train and serve as kitchen help, waiters and cleaning staff. The project’s goal is to qualify them to apply for jobs in the food industry.

Dinner prices start at about $40 per person. Cala is located at 149 Fell St., near the city’s Civic Center and UN Plaza. calarestaurant.com
