Dining in the Dark

From the venue:

Ever wonder what it’s like to eat blind? For the second year in a row, the Center for the Visually Impaired (CVI) is inviting guests to experience a sensorial meal without vision at Dining in the Dark. Three courses, designed by executive chef Damiano de Nicolo of the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center, will be eaten in complete darkness to raise awareness around vision loss and funds toward CVI’s mission to improve the lives of blind people. To add another element of surprise, the meal will be served by members of the Atlanta Police Department SWAT Team, geared up with night-vision equipment. After dinner, a reception will be held to offer insight on how to engage all of the senses while talking, sitting, eating and drinking in darkness.
