| Much More Than Simply Delicious Food
Let me set a scene: you're really hungry and really broke, so you walk to the new restaurant (not far from your job), where you've been a regular since the doors opened, and you tell the chef your situation; would you walk away still hungry?
If you're able to walk into your neighborhood restaurant with the same problem, and walk out with a full belly-you live in an exceptionally nice neighborhood, and where I'm going with this story probably means nothing to you.
