Pomeranian has got to be one of the strangest themed restaurants - it is also know as The Chubby Maid Cafe, held once a month Akihabara, Japan.
The waitresses, all chubby, dress up as maids and serve comfort food to customers, but I am sure there are those who go for fetish reasons too. I want to point out that these girls do not look fat, they look beautiful! Then again, this is a restaurant in Japan, the land of the super skinny… in a way, I really do feel sorry for these women being called fat.
