Bathroom, hell! What if you lean over (or back) a bit too far? Are you strapped in?

Maybe some brats are being grilled on that Weber "Q" toward the right end of the table.
(Actually, these pictures confirm that while that IS a Weber "Q" they are cooking on, the cuisine looks fairly elaborate -- dare I say, elevated.)Last edited by JimInLoganSquare on April 3rd, 2008, 8:52 am, edited 1 time in total.JiLS

Post #8 - April 3rd, 2008, 8:50 amNot that I have any experience, but this has got to be the most obvious example of Mike G's rule I've ever seen...though it would appear they only supply the venue, not the staff or food.
It would appear you are strapped in - considering I am both acrophobic and claustrophobic, even if I were able to treat $100 bills as napkins, I'd pass...

Post #9 - April 3rd, 2008, 8:52 amWhat if you drop a fork? Or a knife??
It looks like those seats are similar to the way you get strapped in for a roller coaster ride.I can't believe I ate the whole thing!

On a related note, I can say that it's not pleasant (having a crane hover over you). My office is on the 38th floor, on the west side of the United building (77 W Wacker). As the building next to me is built, the crane keeps coming closer, and it scares me as it swings around quickly, appearing as if it will crush my office windows. This is going to be a long construction process . . .

That was Alain Passard cooking in the sky in Amiens! (You may remember him from his appearance in the Diary of a Foodie episode Living Off the Land with me.
He's also the chef/owner of Michelin three starred Arpège in Paris.)

Well, they should certainly advertise that!
