Have you ever thought, that since they’re blind, you could go some lighted place that’s cheaper, all the while saying "I can’t see a thing!’ and ‘accidentally’ bumping the table?

Not for high prices, but you eat less in the dark, so yeah, I would. I’d prooooobably want a little candle at minimum, so I didn’t kill myself (I’m pretty klutzy). ---

> [@joebuck20](#): > > Going to this place has been a prize for a couple of the competitions on “Hell’s Kitchen.” Gordon Ramsay seems to have a real thing for it, though I get the impression that the contestants aren’t overly enthused about it. First thing I thought of when I saw the OP. Was it Amanda last season who used the opportunity to grope Ramsay’s torso as she passed behind his chair? She said something like, “He works out; it’s good.” So there’s one upside, depending on whom you’re eating with. If a bunch of friends wanted to do a vastly cheaper version, I’d go along out of curiosity. If nothing else, I’d want to see how well I’d do getting food from plate to mouth! It doesn’t grab me well enough to go out of my way or to pay that much, though. ---

> [@ColdPhoenix](#): > > I came in to just to mention that place. I’ve been meaning to go there for a while but haven’t got around to it yet. I mostly dine with my wife and she really doesn’t want to go there. I don’t think I’d wanna eat at any restaurant that can’t even spell “dessert” correctly. :rolleyes: ---

I probably wouldn’t be able to eat. I don’t have an appetite in the dark. I don’t know why, but, for example, when I’m camping I have to make sure I get dinner before it gets dark, because otherwise I’ll hardly eat.
