The New TV Dinner
This last week we heard that Gerald Thomas, a C.A. Swanson & Sons executive, died. He was credited with inventing the TV Dinner and changing America's eating habits ever since. Now, the WSJ reports a new trend – flat panel televisions "prices have dropped precipitously, making such displays more popular" and replacing CD's music as background ambiance.
"In both homes and restaurants, televisions are being turned on — not off — once the first guests arrive. Caf� Europa, a Bethesda, Md., restaurant known more for its romantic atmosphere and Continental cuisine, recently installed a flat-panel TV above the fireplace in its lounge."
Ah, but beware for that same story recounts many evening entertainment disasters arising from this trend.
