Dining in the Dark


All across the world a new trend in dining has emerged -- blind dining. Patrons dine in a pitch black room while waiters use military-grade night vision goggles to navigate the dining room. At some restaurants the waiters are even blind themselves. Supposedly the sensory deprivation heightens your sense of taste while dining and removes your social inhibitions improving conversation and the overall dining experience. Sounds pretty scary to me.

The best way to heighten your sense of taste is to not eat for a few days. Then everything is so delicious.

Wow, that's a great Buddhist restaurant idea: the height of eating is not eating.

Very zen. I would get way too claustrophobic.
