Are you a little tired of your boring polished brass and varnished wood decor?
Would your restaurant benefit from a decor that got your customers talking? Talking so much, that the news media started paying attention and giving you some FREE publicity?
well, Ken Burgin (who always sends me links that are interesting and entertaining) from http://www.ProfitableHospitality.com has just sent me these gems. Thanks Ken, I think! 
Buns & Guns is located in Beirut, Lebanon, Their chosen theme is military - from the décor and names of the menu items to the helicopter sounds that play constantly in the background.
You can order an M16 Carbine meat sandwich, a Mortar burger or a Terrorist meal (which ironically just happens to be vegetarian).
The restaurant’s slogan, “Sandwiches Can Kill You”.
In Tokyo Japan you can become a cannibal…
‘Nyotaimori’ is a Japanese dinning tradition that literally means ‘female body plate’, and this restaurant named after the rather salacious tradition of eating sushi and sashimi off a nude woman’s body (doesn’t everybody eat like that?) takes this concept to a whole new level.
An edible body, with dough ‘skin’ and ‘blood’ sauce is wheeled into the room on a hospital trolley and placed on your table.
The hostess begins the meal by cutting into the body with a scalpel and then you dig in, cutting open the body to reveal edible ‘organs’. Oh Yummy!!!
Wow… “only in Japan” comes to mind for that second, rather disgusting dining concept. I can’t believe the things people think of.
Wonder how busy that place in Lebanon gets at rush hour
