Great Restaurant Idea.

I came across this whilst listening/viewing WVU pummel OK St.

Be great to see a place like this here in Louisville.

It's certainly a great concept and I believe the majority of people here would certainly welcome it with open arms! However, I'm also quite sure that there would be some people who want to sue the restaurant for discriminating against them because they couldn't get hired because they weren't deaf and didn't know American sign language. I'm also sure some customers would be pissed because they were being asked to use American sign language while ordering. It's just the way many people have become in America these days.

I was dubious at first, but after viewing the video, I think Mark is a little too pessimistic. The fact that they give the diners "cheat sheets" and that the shtick of the place is for the waiters to work with them and try to teach them something, rather than just make life hard for no good reason, makes it a cool out-of-the-box idea.

It's a niche market, I think. The people who don't get it, won't go, and that's okay. But as long as the food is good and the service is good, I think it could find an audience, both of deaf folks and those who want to support it or just think it's fun.

Maybe it would also be a Quiet restaurant, something we are very used to with the newer ones around town!
