I think we accurately call what's in Vogue right now, experiential restaurants. It's it's the scene and be seen type of stuff. Anything that's a small six to seven seat sushi is doing extremely well. But buffets and all the versions and iterations of buffet are out there. And I think we're going to continue to see that when the middle gets potentially squeezed out.
Dave talks about getting seated at possibly the worst table he’s ever seen. The discussion turns to the politics of restaurant tables and the best solution for navigating them, including the 'Pretty Woman' move. The discussion then turns to the trend of experiential restaurants with a particular focus on teppanyaki, and other cuisines that might benefit from a similar treatment of food as performance art.
