All the pieces matter. That's what model-building, detail-oriented Baltimore police detective Lester Freamon said in HBO's The Wire. It's true in criminal investigations, and perhaps even more salient for restaurants.
I am a creature of habit and of comfort. This is not to say I'm an unadventurous eater; I'll give almost anything a try, so long as it doesn't include goat cheese or Brazil nuts. (The former is a taste thing, the latter a nonsensical allergy.) Left to my own devices, however, I return again and again to the things I know and love: my favorite feel-good movies, the same local coffee shop, the same old hotels in the same old cities.
