| Philip Mahon, new chef at Citron in Dublin's Fitzwilliam |
Dine-in Cinema? Could it catch
on here?
One of my Foodspotting correspondents,
US based Critsy, recently went to eat at the cinema, at Hurricane at AMC
Esplanade 14 in Phoenix, AZ.
“Watching “Fast & Furious
6” with hubby (while waiting for the kids to finish golf tournament. :) These
dine-in theaters are getting more popular, so this theater converted itself
into one. There’s a more “posh” dine-in place up north in Scottsdale, and their
service and food’s much better, but for just drinks and alcoholic beverage,
this one’s reasonably priced and nice plush home theater seats. Press the
button and it beckons the server to take your order.
It's a theater with
wide, plush seats with a swivel table that you can pull in front of you to put
your food. So it's a specifically designed dine- in theater. These are popular
in Asia too. :) http://www.foodspotting.com/reviews/3723358.”
