Speed plating

That's not a typo. Time magazine introduces us to the newest variation of speed dating: speed plating.

You pay $100 and enjoy each part of a four-course meal with a new potential match. The concept recently premiered in New York and is slated to expand to a variety of cities, including Atlanta.

Will it catch on?

The author of the aforementioned article notes most of the attendees at the concept's debut were journalists covering the event. Haha.

But I can see how speed plating might have a hard time becoming the next big thing.

It's a little risky to attach a $100 price tag to something that may or may not result in favorable memories.

Sure, there's gourmet food involved, and I respect that. However, I'd rather pay $100 for a fancy meal and eat alone than pay $100 and have to entertain a rotating set of bad dates.

What do you think?
