"On a family trip to Las Vegas, Jim Rice ate one of his favorite meals in complete darkness at Blackout, a Vegas “dark dining” restaurant that serves a tasting menu in a lightless room so diners cannot see the dishes in front of them. Over the course of the meal guests guess the components of each course by relying on their other senses until employees reveal the menu at the end; Rice says he wasn’t sold on the concept until he started eating, and that he was “totally a convert, totally blown away,” adding that the experience was the thing they talked about for months." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
