Beware of the Open Kitchen

Open kitchens are beautiful, but you are on display 24/7 I recently had the pleasure of dining at a popular new restaurant in town that recently opened. I'd estimate the restaurant was at least a multi-million buildout given the well-equipped kitchen and beautiful interior design.
