We ate at a good restaurant last night, I enjoyed the food and the company, but the prices and the restaurant attitude (for lack of a better word, ambiance doesn't quite get it) were full of themselves to the point of being amusingly silly.
So, if I had an overpriced pretentious little restaurant like Watershed, I would call it Cellar°y. And, instead of having the claim to fame that everything is cooked in butter and heavy cream (even the burgers, ridiculous!), mine would have the claim to fame that everything would be cooked in olive oil and other light natural ingredients. And, of course, it would have a great selection of wines, including a bunch available on the cheap.
But, as my killjoy spouse likes to say "it takes more than a great idea to open a restaurant." Feel the love here? Thanks, babe.
