The Blind feeding the Blind

A new restaurant will be opening soon in London. And the uber-funky, 10 out of 10 on a total-trendy-London-cunt hook? That's right, the staff are blind and will bring you your food in the dark.

"Edouard de Broglie is convinced he is on to a winner with "Dans Le Noir" (In The Dark) which opens in London next month. Exporting a formula he launched in Paris with his first dining-in-the-dark restaurant, de Broglie believes it is a perfect way to savour food by just using the taste buds.

He is currently hiring 10 blind people as waiters who will lead diners into the darkened room for a blind tasting with a difference. Customers are guided in from a normally lit bar where they pick what they will eat. In Paris, 80 percent of the clients opt for the surprise menu."

Next month, (we've been informed by a random punter that I spoke to in the pub toilets last night) will see the launch of 'Legless', a new phantasmagorical, gastronomic culinary experience where steaming plates of tripe are served by Bosnian bi-lateral amputees on the empty husks of the land-mines that blew their legs off, as they whizz their way around on skateboards. Proprietor, Jean-Jacques LeCunt is adamant that it will bring great shelf-loads of cash from thick, fashion-mad London assholes who will do just about anything to look like they are 'with it'.

LeCunt hopes to use the success of 'Legless' to finance his dream restaurant - 'Spunk', where cum-splattered, 13-year-old Latvian girls on Rollerskates serve punters stale beer and rancid pork-scratchings whilst poking themselves with rolled-up copies of the 'Big Issue'. Mingin.
