Anyone travelling to Vancouver this summer.....

For those who will be in the Vancouver area this summer, a new "dining experience" has just started operating - https://www.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1427809 . It's not for the faint-of-heart or those operating on tight budgets, but it would be a unique memory of your trip to Vancouver.

This concept is operating in a number of different places around the world, but is a first for Vancovuer. Hopefully the video is not blocked outside of Canada?

Hi Ken:

Saw the video here in PDX. We'll be back up that way later this year to spend our Can$, but definitely not doing that. I'd rather have good food and wine sitting on the ground within a good walk of my hotel.

Cheers!

Gee, thanks for sharing this, Ken! Those crafty Canadians will do anything for a buck, hey? ;-)

What I want to know is what happens if you drop a glass or fork or your phone over the side? Seems like some liability issues maybe.

All my life, up to now, I've liked everything about Canada. Maybe I've found the exception.....

Dick,

According to the news report, this concept is being used in something like 62 countries. Here's a short video on the Las Vegas version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HV-awsxvEt8 .

I imagine they don't allow anyone underneath the platform as if anything falls and hits someone, it could cause serious injuries.

I wonder if they provide barf bags instead of doggie bags!

We saw that in Helsinki last year, though we did not participate.

But, hey! Ken is such a great guy on this forum. I'll chip in $5 to send him up. Anyone else?

Hey, I'd chip in some Can$ just to have Ken do it and post pictures. Scares the heck out of me!

Count me in on the Ken high-level-lunch scholarship fund. Just don't make me stand below the table!

Didn't realize this was going on in 62 countries, including Las Vegas. Glad I don't live in that country! ;-)

Actually, if I had known about this when I was in Vancouver last week, I might have given it a try (although they may have to get a bigger Crane). I doubt that it will still be operating in November when / if I attend the Fleetwood Mac concert.
