As I sat down to eat my lunch, my mind raced, searching for something interesting to think about. When I looked at how colorful my food was, I thought, "If I had a bunch of time and money, I'd open a restaurant." Because of the wide variety of colorful vegetables and copious whole grains, I thought I'd call it "WholeSum," and it'd follow my philosophy of eating and only have 4 seasonings (salt, soy sauce, miso, olive oil) and I'd play off the name and incorporate some silly mathematical puns into the decor and serve reasonably priced organic food that was fresh picked, preferably from an urban garden and....
Then I caught myself and thought, "so basically, I just want to force my personal philosophy onto others in the form of food. Hmm...." I then thought about all the times I've had conversations with food nuts about the restaurants we'd open, and I realized that we all did that; we all just want to express our values and have diners come lavish us with praise and bathe in our brilliance. "Ah, that Jeff is so right!"
How adorably egotistical. : )
