<v 0>My name is Kenny Bowers,</v>

2
00:00:01.590 --> 00:00:06.090
and I'm the chef owner of Kenny's Wood-Fired Grill in Addison, Texas. Honestly,

3
00:00:06.090 --> 00:00:09.030
there's really three main parts to a restaurant. You've got the food,

4
00:00:09.420 --> 00:00:12.240
you've got the service, and then the rest of it is ambiance.

5
00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:17.370
Ambiance is everything because it affects the way that the food looks,

6
00:00:18.060 --> 00:00:20.970
it creates energy. Lighting is huge.

7
00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:24.150
What we do is we shut the blinds to darken everything out,

8
00:00:24.150 --> 00:00:27.060
almost like you be in Vegas and we lower the lights,

9
00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:30.810
and then we put the lamps on the table. When you add the lighting,

10
00:00:30.810 --> 00:00:35.580
it totally changes the whole mood and ambiance of the

11
00:00:35.580 --> 00:00:37.500
restaurant. It has a big effect on,

12
00:00:38.130 --> 00:00:42.540
one of the things that I love about tabletop lighting is the fact that our

13
00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:46.170
restaurants get really busy, but when people sit down at the table,

14
00:00:46.290 --> 00:00:49.230
everything's kind of dark around them, and then once you sit down,

15
00:00:49.230 --> 00:00:52.980
it becomes very intimate and you almost forget about what's happening around

16
00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:53.130
you.
