Culinary no-no #23
A special bonus Culinary no-no today.OK, so call me a square.
Maybe I’m not so cool or hip or trendy.
But I see nothing (no pun intended) appealing about the European concept of “dining in the dark” that has now reached the U.S. in, of course, Los Angeles.
The restaurant is called, “Opaque,” where diners eat in total darkness.
You can’t see your hand in front of your face.
Here’s a review.
And here’s the restaurant’s website. There’s a spot to click on a link to actually see a video report on Opaque.
Dining in the dark?
No thanks.
