Which restaurants have braille menus? We stopped by Chili's recently and found this one.

Photo 1: Front cover shows the Chili's logo above the text "Braille Menu" with the date 09/24 in the corner.
Photo 2: A close up view of the braille inside in the menu.
Photo 3: The page number on the back of the menu shows it's 42 pages.
