    TO Noir

    Perhaps, with LA Noire on the brain, I was looking for an experience on the darker side, but it turns out I had to leave Los Angeles and venture into Toronto to find out what 'noir' really means.

    I visited O Noir restaurant, where you dine in complete darkness, and I survived to tell the tale.  Or, more to the point, my shirt survived, miraculously stain free.  Seriously, what kind of dumby wears a white shirt to a restaurant where you can't tell if you're making a mess?  I'll tell you what kind, the one right here with the thumbs!  Check out my adventure in dark eating, and let me know if you'd be game for such a dinner.

    Edit - To answer some questions:

    @Blake B - It was about $40 per person, so definitely not cheap.  I don't remember any music, but I'm told there was some softly playing.

    @Michael J Miller - They did ask about any food allergies and preferences.  For example, I mentioned no beef for me and they accomodated in the "surprise" dish.

    @Tony - They asked us to turn off cell phones.  I was tempted to record some video (well, audio) inside, but was worried about causing ANY light whatsoever.

    @Amy - I'm sure if you mention your vegetarianism they could work around it.

    Man, hats off to you for your bravery in eating the "surprise" dishes.

    Who knows what they have put in people's mouths in the past. (Insert penis joke here.) (Hmm, maybe "insert" wasn't the best choice of words......)
