Hi! This video is about restaurants. Now there a lots of very unique restaurants, but these
are just some of the ones that caught my fancy.
The first one is actually Alcatraz ER and it's in Tokyo. And you are actually handcuffed,
mock injected, and locked into your cell. And if your cell door is accidentally left
open, it is your mission to go around in a wheelchair, avoiding the outstretched arms
from the other diners. And they actually have . . . Food is served in medical surgical pans,
and cocktails are served in test tubes.
A similar restaurant is The Lockup where you actually . . . When you're taken to the restaurant
in your group, you're left in a dark room and are sorta left to try and feel the walls
and find an entrance. Into the restaurant.
And you've probably heard of dark restaurants where you eat in the dark without any light
sources at all, and things like cell phones and LED watches are banned. But in New York,
they actually took it a step father where the waiters are actually blind. And you sit
at this communal table, and any time you need to get up or go to the bathroom or anything,
you're escorted out by the blind waiter.
At the Modern Toliet in Taipei, you actually sit on a toliet, instead of napkins you have
toliet paper, and the menu mentions blood, urine, and feces. It's definitely a themed
restaurant, and you can figure out that theme. And the manages says, "When you see the food,
it [really] does look like feces."
Dinner in the Sky is now in 35 different countries, and you actually eat dinner suspended 50 meters,
or about 160 feet, up in the air. Um. And there's about 22 people there, and a chef,
and two staff members. And from their website, “Dinner in the Sky may include a second
crane with a platform (or more if desired) at the same height as the table, for entertainment
such as music or presentations (i.e. a car).”
One restaurant in Eastern China opens at 6 in the morning and runs until 3 in the morning.
And people were a bit concerned about the owners because they were always there working.
But it turns out that there are two sets of identical twins who married. Says one of the
brothers, “Many diners thought we worked too hard and are like robots, but they don’t
know that we are actually four people,”
In India, there's a restaurant which is built over, or incorporates, a centuries-old Muslim
cemetery. And the graves are painted green, they're about shin-high, there's 22 of them,
and every morning the manager puts a flower on each of the graves. And from what I was
reading, space is at a premium in India, so while these sort of restaurants aren't really
common, commercial use of graveyards is fairly common.
And if all of this variety is too much for you, you can go to relax at the Serenity . . . sorry,
at the Serendipity 3 New York restaurant where you can get hot chocolate. However, come prepared.
It does cost $25,000. And you must give them 2 weeks notice, because they must fly the
gold in from Switzerland.
So those are just some of the more interesting restaurants there are out there. Thank you
for watching. Bye.
