Better in the dark? Formaggio Grill
The instant it goes on, I start panicking. I focus on taking deep breaths while also not stepping on the heels of the person in front of me as we’re led to our seats in a blind conga line. As dinner begins, I alternate between enjoying a guessing game of “what’s on my plate” and pure terror.
By the end of the dinner, I’m falling asleep because my eyes are closed against the blindfold. That, and the wine pours were pretty generous. If it’s true that we eat first with our eyes, what happens when we’re deprived of sight? Apparently, I freak out and get sleepy.
This is the latest experiment at Kailua’s Formaggio Grill: Dining in the Dark. With the silk, padded blindfolds Formaggio provides, vision is blacked out entirely “so that [guests] can experience dining through their other senses more intensely,” says restaurant manager Dusty Grable. “So they can taste more intensely, smell better…they can focus in on their other senses.”
