Naked Sushi: Punta Gorda

Naked sushi is now available in places like Punta Gorda, Fla. For many, simply trying sushi is an adventurous experience.

But one restaurant in Punta Gorda, Florida has put a whole new twist on Japanese rolls and the way they are served up.

At Torch Bistro, Sushi and Martini Bar in Punta Gorda, Gabrielle Patchell is a real dish.

The tiny 5-foot-6 model lies on her back (her long, blond hair splayed out on a table resembling an Asian fan) nearly nude saved by a thong and a few strategically placed leaves and artificial blossoms. Patchell remains still as patrons pick-up sushi pieces off of her arms, legs and stomach.

“She’s my platter that I get to put my food on,” brags sushi chef Brian Sung.

The trio of chefs behind Torch — Shane Federici, Jason Bush and sushi-roller Sung — say they have booked no less than one full-body sushi party a month since they opened in January.
