What It’s Like to Eat at Restaurants When You’re Blind | Eater
"Opened in Zurich in 1999 as the original “dining in the dark,” this concept restaurant—founded by a blind pastor—became wildly popular and inspired dozens of similar ventures worldwide. Guests stash phones, are led conga-line style into a pitch-black dining room by blind and low-vision servers, and taste a series of mystery dishes while staff guide them to seats. Beyond the novelty, the operation was explicitly created to generate empathy and has provided reliable employment opportunities for blind workers." - Andrew Leland
