Toren Atkinson’s Absolute Blog

If you want a really good, gigantic plate of vegetarian nachos (corn on corn chips? Genius!) then The Foundation is for you. If you want to enjoy them without the added attraction of overly loud hiphop, order your nachos to go. Noisy restaurants ruin my meal. I hate them. I can understand if it’s noisy because it’s busy and there’s lots of people, but throwing loud music over top of the existing din? Madness! I don’t come to your restaurant for a rave, as much as you’d like to think so. I am paying for the food. And I feel more or less the same way about people performing in restaurants. It’s weird to me. I would not want to perform in front of a bunch of people who have come to eat and talk to one another over top of my performance. That seems rude to me on both ends. So, in summation, I avoid restaurants with live acts and loud music.
