Dinner with dummies: US eatery fills empty seats with mannequins
Their eyes are vacant ( ), their smiles uncanny ( ) － but they’re dressed to the nines ( ) and they don’t need a reservation for some of America’s finest dining.
A Michelin-starred ( ) restaurant in the US state of Virginia has found a fun － or creepy ( ), depending on your tastes － way to enforce ( ) social distancing ( ) when it reopens at the end of May: costumed ( ) mannequins ( ) seated among the breathing ( ) guests.
"This would allow plenty of ( ) space between real guests and elicit ( ) a few smiles and provide some fun photo ops ( )," says chef Patrick O’Connell, owner of The Inn at Little Washington, in an e-mail to AFP.
"We’re all craving ( ) to gather and see other people right now. They don’t all necessarily need to be real people," O’Connell mischievously ( ) points out.
"I’ve always had a thing for ( ) mannequins － they never complain about anything and you can have lots of fun dressing them up," he adds.
與假人共進晚餐：美國餐廳用人形模特兒填滿空位
他們的眼神空洞，笑容詭異，但穿著正式，且不需訂位就能在美國高級餐廳入座。
位於美國維吉尼亞州的一家米其林星級餐廳，發現一套在餐廳5月底恢復營業時，實施社交距離的有趣—或者令人毛骨悚然，視你個人喜好而定—的方法：穿著打扮好的假人坐在真人顧客群中。
「如此可在真人顧客之間保持很大空間，而且帶來一些笑容，並提供有趣的拍照場景」，小華盛頓酒店老闆、主廚Patrick O’Connell在電子郵件中向法新社說。
「現在我們都很想與人聚在一起、見見面，他們不一定非得是要真人」，O’Connell開玩笑地指出。
「我一向喜歡人形模特兒，他們從不抱怨任何事，而且幫他們打扮很有意思」，他說。
