Meet Craig Shanahan, the blind chef with his own cafe. When kids would ask Craig what it was like having one eye, he'd ask them what it was like having two. That was all he knew. He grew up loving cooking and studied to be a chef. When Craig lost vision in his good eye, he didn't let that hold him back. He decided to open a cafe that would be accessible to all customers. You can visit Craig's cafe, The Blind Chef, meet his service dog Rocko and maybe even eat a four-course meal blindfolded.
