If
Fellini’s Satyricon is your idea of a good movie to watch while eating, RavishSF’s
Erotic Underground Dinner Series might be a good alternative to going out for tacos. The sensuous (and gluten-free) supper returns to Soma’s Drake Lounge Saturday, May 9 for a seven-course meal centered on Nyotaimori, the art of “naked sushi,” where a human being lying perfectly still serves as the platter.

Just to give an indication of the decadence threshold, the “foreplay” course is a kimchi oyster shot with bacon jam, followed by chili shrimp chips topped with an uni custard made with duck egg and black truffle. Many of the other six courses are even cheekier, with endive “E-cups,” “Ribbed for Her Pleasure” short ribs with bull blood beats, an “InterCourse Surprise” and, of course, a profiterole happy ending. Between courses, there will be burlesque, games, and other adult entertainments.
Boucherie Meats’ Peter Jackson, and Lawrence Lee of Hayahon SF, Streetfood Dojo and Drake Lounge itself are the collaborators behind the plated courses, while Mark Hayashida of Hayahon SF and Takoba Sushi Bar is handling the Nyotaimori course.
To be clear, while this meal is a highly eroticized experience, diners themselves will not be nude. While it’s perfectly civilized to eat a midnight snack over the sink in your birthday suit, this is meant to enhance the meal, and watching naked people chew and swallow doesn’t necessarily do it for everybody. So dress sexy as all hell and maker your partner do the same! The full list of rules and etiquette will be made available upon purchasing tickets, but suffice it to say that you’re encouraged to play with your food, and by that, they don’t mean building a mashed potato town.
And when you call your mother the next morning to wish her a happy Mother’s Day, be sure to have a Saturday night alibi ready.
RavishSF's Erotic Underground Dinner,
Saturday, May 9, 6 p.m., at Drake Lounge, 508 Fourth St., 999-4291.
