Toilet-themed restaurant ‘flush with success’

A restaurant billed as the USA’s first toilet-themed eatery has just opened in Los Angeles — and is packing in diners after a wave of free publicity for the concept, said to be imported from Asia.

The Magic Restroom restaurant, where patrons sit on ceramic bathroom bowls and eat from toilet- shaped tableware, did brisk business on its first fully open weekend.

Some might wonder who would want to eat surrounded by reminders of where the food ends up. But Friday’s grand opening was by all accounts a huge success, fuelled by media interest from around the world.
