We’ve seen vegetable sensuality before, and people have gotten near-naked with food for us, but this is ridiculous — Joshua Katcher, the “vegansexual” behind the Discerning Brute (typical entry: Katcher is appalled that Fiore doesn’t have vegan options and doesn’t want to add portobellos to the menu), takes it all off for Time Out's "horny issue" this week.

Makes our post on the unifying powers of the burger all the more poignant.
