Dark Restaurants
You know when you get an idea, but then realize someone else had it first? Well. It happens to me so often that I’ve developed a phrase for it: The Confiscation of Ideas. I never owned the idea, really, so it’s confiscated and returned to it’s rightful owner.
One of the latest confiscations is the idea of a Dark Restaurant; An unlit and pitch black restaurant. This would remove any unecessary visual associations and allow your tastebuds to make the most of the food. Well. I got the idea about four years ago, but it seems Blindekuh in Germany was opened 1999.
I realized it existed after finding an article about a new Dark Restaurant in Beijing (called Jingyu Du), where the waiters wear these ultra cool night vision goggles and any luminous substances or gadgets are forbidden.
Thankfully, this isn’t one of the ideas I was actually going to go through with, so I’m just looking forward to eating there. Wink.
