TORONTO -- A downtown Toronto Asian restaurant's female executive chef worries the owner's decision to serve sushi atop near-naked models during the film festival will degrade the restaurant.

Clothed only in bikini swimwear and banana leaves, a male and female model will recline on the bar and have Toronto International Film Festival patrons eat sushi off their bodies.

The restaurant's owner, Patrick Mallon, says the traditional concept is for the model to be completely naked, but they're not going to be that risque.

He says they don't want to offend anybody, but his executive chef, one of only a few women to reach that position in Toronto's high-end culinary world, is offended.
