This is a follow up to Jeff Langer's article on the eating theatre in the World Trade Centre. Festive eating arrangements are available now in most large cities. The price of admission is usually fixed and should be looked at as an entertainment ticket rather than the cost of a meal. Many of these shows fall into the class of the Medieval Inn in Vancouver where the patrons gather before hand in an anteroom. The style here is to elect a lord to preside. The lord is sometimes costumed by the serving wenches. Lots of fun and about $50 a head. Medieval Inn serves medieval food on bread trenchers, and you get a knife with which to eat. Not very refined, but the food is good and plentiful. Another experience is Festin des Governeurs in Montreal (if still operating). Festin takes you to the time of New France, and is also very nice, and considerably more mannered. Then there are the real dinner theatres like the Teller's Cage in Toronto. Your admission gets you dinner and the show. Bar extra. Maybe this stuff doesn't really belong in net.wines, but I think it is the most appropriate newsgroup that is current. Anyone for net.dining or net.clubs? ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
