Before technology dominated the globe, there was a time. Without
cellphones, iPads, and computers, life was much easier. People today are
frequently glued to their gadgets. Cell phones, according to UC Health,
might actually make people's lives more stressful. On the other hand, you
might also feel anxious without your phone. Doesn't it feel like a
catch-22?
In Texas, a chef and restaurant proprietor took matters into his own hands
by banning cellphone use while dining at Caterina's, his brand-new Italian
eatery. Tim Love, the restaurant's owner and chef, is asking diners and
customers to put their phones in little bags while they eat and dine there.
The establishment has additional requirements in addition to this. Love has
produced a distinct aesthetic that calls for a certain dress code. There are
other things that chef Love is cooking up at Caterina's besides the absence
of mobile phones and formal wear. The restaurant also takes pride in its
leisurely dining style, where customers partake in multi-course meals.
The idea behind each special eating rule is to encourage slowing down and
enjoying meals with friends and family without interruption from the outside
world. Caterina's wants to resurrect a bygone era where everyone could
unplug. Love claims that all of the diners have done nothing but cooperate
and be content with the breath of fresh air the institution has delivered
now that it is open and operating. Love has further stated that if visitors
need to be reached, they can provide Caterina's phone number, at which point
an analogue phone would be sent to the guests' tables to take their crucial
call.
Love characterized the restaurant as "a super-intimate, white tablecloth
dining area, with seating for 40 in the dining room, and a bar with seating
for six" in an interview with Paper City.
He said Caterina's wants to offer a dining experience that visitors would
like. "A multi-course supper will be served to guests at Caterina's," Love
stated. "Slow eating, or what I like to call analog dining, encourages you
to slow down throughout the entire experience. Throughout the meal, there
would be a ton of minor surprises, the owner promised.
For Caterina's enjoyment, the venue politely requests that patrons put
their phones away. Love stated, "We're going to nicely ask them to put their
phone in the bag," in an interview with a local Texas news station. The
owner said, "That has already occurred. Some individuals forget. All they
have in their pocket is their phone. We hand the bag to them. Their phone
was placed inside the bag. It's not a major issue."
If you can't live without your phone, Love said, you might want to find
another restaurant. "This is not the place for you if you can't live without
your phone for two hours, the proprietor said. People don't use their phones
while watching movies, he continued.
The many restaurant owner mentioned that not every place provides this
novel style of dining because of how turbulent the outside world is. The
chef and the business owner agreed that they wanted to create something
unique.
