Tidbit: What do you want?

So last night we went to a restaurant in Clarksburg, WV called Julio's. It's not local or organic or sustainable as far as I'm aware, but we went there nonetheless. (Actually, I ate there several years ago and wanted to go back just for nostalgia's sake I guess.) Julio's is a very good Italian restaurant that's been around for years, and there is no printed dinner menu. Instead, the server verbalizes what's available for the day, around five appetizers and around five entrees. Obviously, fresh food prepared daily. (BTW, it was very delicious.)

Anyway, the point here is short and sweet. Haley was gabbing with her mom on the phone, and told her that we had gone to Julio's. Her mom said, "well, you just get whatever they cook that day." As if that's a bad thing. I mean, what do we prefer...plastic laminated menus and a college kid in the kitchen dumping a frozen bag of fettucine alfredo into a boiling vat of water, or an actual chef in the kitchen preparing fresh food?
