    This week’s episode of Gravy podcast has a terrific exploration of restaurant menu language & how it influences our food choices. Check it out.

    Salmon with barley & brussels sprouts became pan-roasted salmon with brown butter barley and crispy brussels sprouts. Rapini & grits became corn grits with rapini, chili, garlic and pecorino. And just like a restaurant, I found sales increasing.

    And then I reconsidered. I thought of the challenge that restaurants have, after creating a dish, in describing it to customers. I started getting more evocative with my descriptions.

    She would wrinkle her nose, and I thought, don’t you trust me? Don’t you expect that I’m going to make something delicious, that I’m just underselling it?

    Follow-up to this week’s column. At first, when my wife would ask me to tell her what we were having for dinner, I would use concise, even terse language: “This on top of some of that”.

    About a year ago I started offering a paid fitness membership to anyone interested. Not everyone goes for it but I’ve seen it make a really positive difference in some cases. There are some great rates available.

    It's been 4 years today nearly to the minute since the driver of a 300HP 4,600lb SUV made a negligent left turn and slammed her oversized, overpowered vehicle into my body while I was riding my bike to work. I have been living with the fallout ever since.

    I’ve argued this for years. Same as movie theatres. For a long time our Saturday brunch was $1 cheaper than Sunday. Patio pricing should also be higher than inside really...

    This restaurateur is experimenting with demand-based pricing, dropping prices during the week & raising them on the weekend.

    For over 30 years, we’ve accepted demand-based pricing from airlines & hotels. We don't really question that it costs more to book at peak-times & less at off-times. Can this model work for the restaurant industry?

    Y'know how it's hard to get a restaurant reservation for this Friday at 7:30? That's because everyone wants to book at the same time. Would you pay a little extra for it? Would you book on a Wednesday for a lower rate?
