CBS brings televisions to fine dining

screen grab of CBS story on CBS Scene
On more nights than I'd like to admit, Scott and I succumb to the blue flicker of the television screen while eating dining. We park ourselves on the couch with our plates and watch Jeopardy or reruns of The Daily Show. But when we go out to eat, we avoid places with TVs, knowing that we get plenty of tube viewing time in at home.

However, CBS has recently opened a restaurant where the point is to watch television while you eat. Over the weekend, they opened a 15,000-square-foot restaurant that will serve upscale pub food and will prominently feature approximately 130 high-definition televisions. Included in that number are table-side flat-screens programmed with CBS content, so that you can choose from 60 years worth of CBS programming while you dine.

The restaurant, called CBS Scene, has been opened in partnership with New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and is located in Foxborough, MA, adjacent to Gillette Stadium. Video about the new restaurant is after the jump (it starts playing as soon as you open the page).

The only thing vaguely interesting about CBS Scene might be if there's a jinx associated with it. Tom Brady goes to the CBS Scene opening, injures his knee in his next game and is out for the season. Coincidence? Maybe... If Jeff Probst is gored by a Rhino on the next season of Survivor, I think we'll have our answer.
