Also does anyone actually prefer having a TV flashing in the background while having a nice brunch with family...?

Linguists and polyglots I know are obsessed with eating at establishments that have Supreme Master Television with its unreal number of simultaneously-translated subtitles http://suprememastertv.com/en1/

That raises a question — what sort of screen content would you ideally like to have on at a restaurant?

For another example, I just encountered a café with a high number of to-go orders — so even though the throughput was high, the café often seemed kind of empty. They had a huge screen w/livestream of Shibuya Crossing, I think in recognition of this. I thought that was great.

Shibuya Crossing is my ideal restaurant tv.
