A Literary Dining Experience
So I've had this incredible idea bouncing around in my head for a while and I thought I'd finally document it on here. If I was any good at cooking or publicity I would totally make this brainchild a reality. Everyone loves food, right? And everyone loves entertainment too, right? And I'm pretty sure there are a LOT of people out there who like books too. So my idea combines all three. Imagine being able to go to a place where you are served a delicious, steaming hot meal by an actor portraying a famous literary character. For instance, I would personally find it delightful if I could order something called a "Bag End Burger" by none other than a sweet, little old hobbit named Bilbo. Or if my bus-boy was 15 years old, went by the name of Neville and he made sure I got my flagon of pumpkin juice just the way I want it. Or if I got an appetizer of Darcy's Deviled-Eggs and it was delivered by none other than a Ms. Elizabeth Bennett who proceeded to berate her future husband after I placed my order. Or how about a freshly made batch of Pip's Pancakes delivered by an eccentric old woman who went by the handle of Ms. Havisham? Well, I don't know about you but I would be unable to resist going to dine in such a fine establishment! Perhaps it's just that the scope of all literature would be too great to be handled by one restaurant and, inevitably, someone would be disappointed that we didn't have Raskolnikov's Ribs or Shakespeare's Shoulder Roast. Or perhaps it's because it would cost an arm and a leg to eat there (It's a highly innovative, personalized experience after all.) but I have a feeling this idea would not be a smashing success, especially with the economy the way it is. Nevertheless, I think someone should take it on. Perhaps we could shave it down from being themed around all of literature and choose a specific genre such as 18th century English or 19th century American or perhaps even shave it down to a single author. For instance, I'm sure it would be entirely possible to form a restaurant around Pride and Prejudice or The Lord of the Rings. Anyway, just thought I'd share this idea! :-) Any culinary arts or Coms majors feel like taking it on?
