I've heard of "Rainforest Cafe," but not eaten at one. Since the national
championships of Highland Dancing will this year be held in the Mall of
America in Minnesota, I may in July have yet more weirdness to report; I
remember a historian of science colleague saying that "Rainforest Cafe" was
about as good as that mall gets. Any tips for survival and thriving in
those parts will be welcome.
The restaurant I described was new-ish and had "Mayan" in the name.
Perhaps we should have a contest to imagine the weirdest theme/theatrics
restaurant possible? Fondue, with lederhosen and Alpenhorns being blown on
the half hour? Curry, trained elephants and spandex yoga poses? Haggis,
hill runners and curling demonstrations?
