5.02.25: That One Thing

I love restaurants that pick one thing and absolutely nail it. No ten-page menu, no trying to be everything for everyone—just a focused, dialed-in craft. It could be noodles, tacos, grilled cheese, whatever. When a place says, “This is what we do,” and does it perfectly, that hits different. There’s something comforting about that kind of confidence and simplicity. You’re not overwhelmed with choices—you’re just there to enjoy something done really, really well. It’s almost like a form of edible minimalism. Just give me one incredible dish and I’m good. That’s my kind of spot every time.
