"Familiarity Breeds Content" by Frank Bruni

As long as we're on the topic of being a regular - the New York Times article "Familiarity Breeds Content" by Frank Bruni was a wonderfully written article about the benefits of being a regular.  And I don't think the benefits only accrue to regulars who are former NY TImes restaurant critics.

As long as we're on the topic of being a regular - the New York Times article "Familiarity Breeds Content" by Frank Bruni was a wonderfully written article about the benefits of being a regular.  And I don't think the benefits only accrue to regulars who are former NY TImes restaurant critics.

Boy, can I identify with this article. We eat out so seldom these days, that our regular haunts are far less numerous than Bruni's; the results and effects are just the same. It's like the words in the old "Cheers" theme song: You want to go where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came. Too, too true.
