The above photo was taken at a noodle bar in Chinatown in Chicago (Chi-town in Chi-town?). Each table has a drawer for napkins, utensils, sugar packets, etc.
As we sat down, I couldn’t help but think that this is an awesome idea. How many times have I sat down to eat and then realized I forgot to bring something I needed to the table?
Now as I think about it, I don’t know why this idea is so ingenious. It’s no more innovative than, say, the stationary drawer in my desk. But I still find it awesome.
Any input from people who share my fascination would be most appreciated.
As the proprietor I’d be worried about wholesale theft. But kudos to them for thinking about the customer!
I think I’d like to have this kind of drawer in my table at home, so I don’t have to go back to the kitchen drawer for utensils all the time.
