Dinner in the Sky is perhaps the world's most unique dining experience. The way it works is this: You are seated at a round table with up to 22 other people and in the center of the table, there is a workspace where a chef, a waiter and an entertainer work. Once you are strapped in, the entire table is suspended 50 meters in the air with a giant crane. You can also order a second crane that will bring up a band or -- in a rather bizarre suggestion from the company -- "a car that is being presented at the same height as the table." The whole thing can be set up just about anywhere (it is based in Europe) that there is room for it.
The basic package is €7,900, or about $10,000, but there are many additional options, including photographers, which can be secured for an additional fee.

A what? A car?? Who's car? My car? Why would I want to eat dinner with my car suspended from a crane next to the dinner table? Or maybe I'm supposed to drive onto the crane, get hoisted up, then JUMP from my car to the dinner table without killing myself? I suppose it beats valet parking.

Don't think an appetite could survive while eating above everyhing that still uses the natural law of GRAVITY!
Where in the world did someone with time on their hands come up with this strange, nutty, odd, freaky, bizarre, scarey, etc. idea?
Spend the money doing this?...I doubt it.....use the money for anything else sane.
And to pay for a photographer to boot.....someone needs some ego lifting.....
I guess you have to pour your own wine, pour your own water, and not pay for GRATUITY!!!!!for a change....not bad....

Why on earth (or why OFF earth) hoist a car up next to you during dinner? Is this some lame attempt to recapture the nostagia of 1950's drive-ins... kind of like Eurotrash meets American Graffiti?

Everybody knows that the French will be afraid to be lifted up high into the air, so this entire concept will most likely fail in Europe. It would probably have a better chance of success here in the United States where the men are fearless.

PROOF that "first world" countries have WAY too much money and that a college education will NEVER buy you wisdom. This is one of the most assinine wastes of human brain power I have ever seen.

What if a helicopter drives by, and blows all the food off the table, including you, and your car.

I guess I am going to have to say why not. I mean think about this one for a second. IF you got some time on your hands, and ten thousand bucks, then go for it. But me, I am going to have to excuse myself from the table. No thanks..

I can't believe someone had the time to come up with this - I'm also thinking it's not kid friendly? And what's up with hoisting the car?
