Conversation I nearly had at a dinner party in the burbs tonight:

Them: Oh, we already ate before we got here. We JUST SIMPLY HAD TO GO to the new Red Robin over by Washington Square. It was really busy, too.
Me: Do they have a different menu there?
Them: No, same menu.
Me: Different decor?
Them: No.
Me: So what’s the point, then? Do you enjoy being waited upon by a newly trained staff? Why not check out the restaurant openings of places where you don’t have the menu memorized? Or just try a different restaurant altogether?

The rest of the party was nice. Good to visit and catch up with friends.
