We attended a pretty neat concert last night. It was well received by the audience, I thought, my wife said she enjoyed it as much as any she'd ever attended. I was musing about this versus some fancy restaurant. In a concert of this ilk, you might hear a passage you really like, and usually there is a reprise, maybe in a different key or with different instruments, a change, but the same, and you get to enjoy it again, and maybe several times through the piece.
With these fancy restaurants, you might get a bite or two of something you really like, and then, it's gone. You get another bite of something very different that you might not like nearly as much.
In contrast to a "regular" restaurant, if you order steak, or fish, or chicken, and it's really good, it's really good for the next 30 minutes or so, maybe it gets slightly cold, whatever. Of course, if it's not good ...
We stopped off on the way back at a place we like and I had a clam linguini meal, it was good, and there was a nice portion size.
