My intention is to convey the idea that people should enjoy their meal together and eat slowing in that a fast pace world. Because people are hustle every day and the vibe of the restaurant disappears, it became a food factory. There is no “rest” in the word restaurant, and everything tastes so dull. I want people to focus more on the process of eating also enjoy the meal and the vibe of the restaurant.
During this project, I never imagined that the sound around us is various and exciting since I always dive deeply with my headphones, which could block most of the noise. However, I should discover the environment and the world more carefully to grow as a creator, not just sink in my own world.
Script for the sound walk
In the past, If you want to have a sandwich at this restaurant, you need to line up outside the restaurant and wait for an hour.
However, you got a chance to talk with strangers.
Once you get into the restaurant, you also need to line up for different cutters. You need to jam in the crowd. It is noisy in the restaurant. Your friend may have a hard time to hear from you.
The sound of people talking, and the collision of folks and knife emerge into one.
If you wonder which sandwich is the best, just ask the people behind you in the row.
Yes, the pastrami sandwich is the best

After 20 years, in 2040, One day after work, I passed the original Katz’s restaurant. According to the news, Katz’s seemed to open a lot of branches, and the restaurant also introduced a lot of new machines, so the new restaurant seems not to need to use human resources to make the sandwich. It is so quiet here, just a cold wall and windows. I could hear my breath and footstep. I remembered when I was a child, if you want to eat here, you need to line up and wait for one hour. Now, people only need 5 seconds to get the food they want. I walked into the restaurant. You could see that the restaurant has many windows. Behind each window, there is a giant robot arm, and this robot is making these sandwiches at a breakneck pace. There is an arm cutting the meat quickly, and another arm daubing sauce immediately. I took less than 10 seconds to get the sandwich. I opened the package, ready to sit down and prepared to enjoy the delicious memories 20 years ago. I bite the sandwich slowly, But somehow, the taste of beef is different, and I could tell the difference of the taste. It was just different.
People need more time to fully sacrifice themselves in production. All the delicious food became fast food and a daily mission to finish to survive. The vibe of the restaurant disappear; it became a food factory. There is no rest in the word restaurant, and everything tastes so dull.
Translation of the last sentence in Chinese:
One room, Two people, Three daily meals, Four seasons. Please enjoy the food on the table and cherish the person in front of you.
