NOT IN A MILLION YEARS
The blind feeding the blind (Danielle Gusmaroli, nzherald.co.nz, 2/1/06)
London foodies are expected to be falling over each other to get a spot in the city's latest culinary craze - a pitch-black room serviced by blind waiters.Have you people learned nothing over the last 5000 years? Posted by David Cohen at February 4, 2006 10:32 PMDespite a bizarre approach to haute cuisine, the restaurant Dans le Noir has won over Parisian diners, and opens in London soon. Guests will be led into blackness to be served food that they cannot see. Guiding them will be a team of 10 blind waiters.
Those supporting the dining-in-the-dark concept, including charities for the blind, say it will open up diners' other senses and liberate tastebuds.
