Can you imagine that I have to search through 40 pages in Google--sure beat going to church on Sunday morning. Found one article and I thought you might find something interesting about Cafe Signes, a rare gem in France. It is about restaurant that staffed almost all Deaf employees in restaurant with a hearing Head Chef who know how to sign. He have three Deaf Sous Chefs working with him. Put yourself in a hearing shoes and can you imagine when you enter the restaurant and tried to call the bartender.....
I really like this article about employing Deaf people in restaurant to give the different atmosphere to hearing customers.
Other one, I knew about Danny Delcambre, Deaf Cajun Chef and also, legally blind, known as Usher's Syndrome. His restaurant called Ragin' Cajun, located in Seattle, Wash. In few years, I heard that his restaurant were closed due to his visual problem--I don't know how to call this kind of vision problems. I am sure you understood what is the disability that Danny Delcambre had. He had employed some Deaf cooks, and Deaf waitresses despite his business counselors gave him advices, not hiring Deaf people to work for him--he hired them anyway. His restaurant have been lasted nine years. I obtained some information through sites and others, that is how much I knew. I had some troubles by trying to find more articles on Danny Delcambre. If any errors, please correct me in comment area. Anyway, I found some inspirations from him that motivated me to consider owning a restaurant in future. One of years, my family planned to go there and eat in his restaurant but was prevented due to bad snowstorm in Seattle. The plan changed into visiting my in-law families in Oregon during Christmas week. Nice time being with them for a week but had bad cold that I got from airline. I did not forgot about that bad cold. When returning to very cold Minnesota, my colds were gone. Strange.
Right now, I wished that I could go there and eat Danny Delcambre's Cajun food. Well, I can find good Cajun cooking some day. I do make mean blackened chicken sandwich, that will put hairs on your chest.
Someday, I will own restaurant and will employ Deaf people to work in my kitchen. That's my first promise.
