If you’ve never seen Scout’s Restaurant Porn column, it documents our covetous fetish for good restaurant design. Let’s Go Out Again follows similar lines in fascinating detail. The new, stunning, 293 page Gestalten tome belongs on the coffee tables of anyone who can’t stop looking up from their plates to appreciate the more static, aesthetic side of dining out. Edited by Robert Klanten, Sven Ehmann, and Michelle Galindo, it is “an eclectic showcase of atmospheric eating spaces from around the world—from New York, London, and Berlin to Haifa, Sydney, and Hong Kong. The featured projects represent state-of-the-art collaborations among architects, artists, designers, restaurateurs, and chefs that target not only all of our senses, but our identities and values too.”. We first came across the book at Old Faithful, where only one copy remains as of this morning ($60) Get in there and pounce! If it’s gone by the time you get there, score yours online through the publisher.
