I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to eat in complete darkness? No? Neither had I, but it is intriguing. They say when one of your senses is taken away, the others are heightened, so what would happen if you couldn’t see what you were eating? This undeniably unique dining experience in Los Angeles is a sure way to find out. Get ready for a night out unlike any other.
The Dining in the Dark experience is a one-of-a-kind, mysterious, and dare we say, entertaining gastronomical experience - a chance to find out the full extent of your tasting potential.
Without your sense of sight, your senses of taste and smell will be enhanced, making this meal entirely different than any one you have had before. They say that most people eat with their eyes, but not here!
With every diner unable to see their food, it would be easy to serve just anything, but these daring blindfolded adventurers are served a thoughtfully curated gourmet meal.
So, what will you be eating? Well, what point would the blindfold be if you knew that ahead of time? Guests get some say as to what they want to eat, choosing from one of three secret menus - Red (meat), Blue (seafood), or Green (vegan). And every menu includes a welcome drink.
Each menu will be a vibrant mix of tastes, textures, and surprises in the form of starters, main courses, and desserts. Having only your nose and taste buds to rely on, you will notice details and nuances you would normally overlook. Each bite is a tiny exploration of flavors.
Whether you choose to take this culinary journey with your family, a group of friends, or a date, this is a fun way to experience something new together.
Of course, sharing a bite with your dining partner, or clinking glasses without spilling or breaking them, will be a tiny bit of a challenge. But challenges bring us closer together, right?
Dining in the Dark Los Angeles takes place in the elegant, acoustic environment of Verse LA, the perfect venue for this extraordinary experience.
This is a special event with two dates – August 13 and September 10, 2023 – and seating is limited. Are you up for a spectacularly unique dining adventure? Tell us what you think in the comments.
