Hot Buns

Don't expect to get a job at Hot Buns if you're a man - unless you look great in hot pants.

The controversial restaurant chain is looking for waitresses willing to serve burgers and milkshakes while wearing denim shorts.

"It's important that you are outgoing, good at making contact and are completely fine that your uniform will be denim shorts and a tank top," it says in the online job description.

Hot Buns is opening a three-floor restaurant on Gothersgade in Copenhagen in a few weeks. The concept is similar to the American restaurant chain Hooters, where waitresses tend to be voluptuous young girls in revealing outfits.

Women's rights group Dansk Kvindesamfund said the saucy Hot Buns uniform creates a demeaning view of women.

And, Socialdemokraterne's youth party (DSU) is also considering getting involved in the case. 

"Fast food normally makes you feel guilty, but this burger should make people feel extra guilty and leave a bad taste in the mouth," Camilla Schwalbe, the head of DSU, told Avisen newspaper.

Former Hot Buns girls also told Avisen that they had never seen boys work as waiters.

While it wasn't possible to get a comment from owner Mathias Kær, he told city guide AOK in February that the waitresses will be wearing their infamous uniforms in the new establishment on Gothersgade.

"Our beautiful girls will bring the uniform to Copenhagen. It consists of a tank top and hot pants," he said. 

A burger joint in Copenhagen, Denmark, isn't chicken about arousing controversy: It's now selling sex toys along with hamburgers.

Soon, Hot Buns will be adding dildos, vibrators, whips and other sex-oriented products to the menu.

It's a natural fit, considering the restaurant puts as much emphasis on the tank top and hot pants worn by its all-female staff as it does on the burgers.

The restaurant's Instagram page even posts cleavage shots of employees and invites followers to guess which woman it is.

Hot Buns owner Mathias Kaer says the sex toys will only be available in evening hours. He believes he's onto something.

"On Friday and Saturday nights there are only two things most people want: sex and food. We're combining them both," Kaer said.
