You're "a grand old man" of poems and good work and an expert body thumper.Marly Youmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377938366750387442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349472.post-13037399762144668592014-03-21T19:30:13.076-07:002014-03-21T19:30:13.076-07:00Everything transmutes.

I don't think the qualities that mark a long-lived restaurateur change much, though. You have to make it happen for people every single time they come through the door, using only the labor and materials you have on hand that day. There are never all that many people who can do that year after year.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523194846272870013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349472.post-47569076879699581392014-03-20T12:31:41.128-07:002014-03-20T12:31:41.128-07:00I often wonder if these trendy places which we'...I often wonder if these trendy places which we're reluctant to accept as replacements, whatever their advantages, will in time become as established and shabby and nostalgic as the ones we miss. I'm not convinced they will, I think they'll just change or fold as the fashion moves on.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.com
