Australian Restaurant Seems to Think It Is Your Mom

“Eat it or else” is apparently no longer reserved for mothers. A Japanese restaurant in Surry Hills, Australia, has taken green living to an extreme by ordering patrons not to “waste” any of their food. In other words, clean your plate, young lady.

“To contribute toward creating a sustainable future we request a little more of our guests than most other restaurants,” she says in a list of her restaurant’s policies that is pinned on the door to the eatery.

This list includes finishing all dishes ordered which are organic and free of gluten, dairy, sugar and eggs and the chef and her staff tell people who don’t clear their plates to choose another restaurant next time.

“Finishing your meal requires that everything is eaten except lemon slices, gari (sushi ginger) and wasabi,” says the menu.

“Please also note that vegetables and salad on the side are NOT decorations; they are part of the meal too.”

Somebody give this place into a reality show, stat!
