Joel Barish and Kurt “Irish Chef” Ramborger talk about Deaf restaurants all over the world. They talk about the difference between America and other countries and how hearing people are more accustomed to gestures in other countries. Joel and Kurt also discuss whether if Deaf people are ready for Deaf cafes or not. The Signs cafe in Toronto stands out in the small amount of Deaf restaurants, having sign language be its main feature. However, the owner and the cooks aren’t Deaf.
