My husband and I are heading back to Chicago this Christmas for another Windy-City-Winter and along the way, we'll be stopping in L.A. for a few days. One of our FAVORITE things to do while travelling is finding cool places to eat, whether by accident or after lots of intense research. After chatting with Tanna ("Wedding Goddess") and Tessa ("Top Chef in the Making") of The Wedding Cafe, we have a strong contender for "unique dining experience."
T&T told us about a dark dining experience that they had in L.A. -- not somber or spooky, just dark. The Opaque restaurant, located in West Hollywood, hosts a you-can-eat-it-but-you-can't-see-it feast on the weekends where patrons dine in complete darkness. Now, if the restaurant is so dark, how does the food find it's way to your table? The waitstaff are visually impaired. Fascinating concept, isn't it? For $99, you get a three-course meal and a memorable experience that will last a lifetime. It's also the one time in your life when you can dine in a fancy restaurant and throw table manners out the window...that's worth the price of admission.
