HOLLYWOOD—The culinary world has a reason to be excited—sexually excited, that is. Due to the success of themed dining establishments such as Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe, and Dick Clark's American Bandstand Grill, Blackie Waits, a little-known porn actor, decided to hang up his tool and break into the restaurant business by opening a sex-themed eatery named “Honey.”

Just as Planet Hollywood had Stallone, Schwarzenegger, and Willis as front men, Waits said that he wants such porn greats as Peter North, Ron Jeremy, and Dale DaBone to do the same for his vision.

“I can’t really hope to exploit my own fame since Hairy Botter didn’t turn out to be the big break I thought it was going to be,” Waits joked. “But we’re working on a few deals with some well-known stars.” Waits, however, declined to name which adult film stars are interested in the project.

A chef and restaurant manager for 15 years, Waits made a move into acting two years ago in hopes of great financial rewards. He said that he soon realized the business was fraught with barriers to entry and that competition for top roles was stiff. After he concluded that he was not going to “make it big” in the adult-film industry, Waits decided to bring together his restaurant and porn experiences.
"My goal for the restaurant is to foster an environment that promotes my policy of three F's: Food, Family, Intercourse, and Fun. Okay, I guess there’s an “I” in there, too,” Waits said. “And, of course, family members must be at least 18-years-old to enter Honey and must voluntarily be choosing to enter. Everyone should also be aware that some community standards may not allow you to enter, no matter your age.”

When questioned about what will set Honey apart from other restaurants, Waits said: "Arby’s has its Horsy Sauce, but, if Mr. North agrees, we will have our Northy Sauce; and the Hard Rock [Café] has its Elvis Costello Roast Beef Sandwich, but we will have our Kobe Tai Roast Beef Experience. Our sandwich, made with Kobe beef, will be folded to resemble Kobe Tai’s vagina. That is why we call it the Kobe Tai Roast Beef Experience and not the Kobe Tai Roast Beef Sandwich. I don’t want to sell the customer a sandwich. I want to sell the experience of eating Kobe Tai’s vagina in the form of a sandwich—see, the sandwich is only a metaphor.”

In addition to the porn-themed cuisine, Waits hopes that Honey will be able to display an array of adult-entertainment memorabilia, such as the razor used in Shaving Ryan's Privates, the script from Face Jam or the original uniforms worn in Nightshift Nurses 2.

Although Waits is not ready to announce the date of Honey’s grand opening, he added that: “In compliance with U.S. Code, Title 18, Section 2257, all waitresses, cooks, dishwashers and other persons who will be employed at Honey shall be over the age of 18 years during their shifts.”
