You know I could have sworn I commented on all your posts this past week... I know I read at least this one, because I remember it as I reread it now. Maybe I just forgot to comment? I think I'm losing my mind.
Anyway!
What you write about casseroles makes me think. In Japan, restaurants are much more specialized than in the US. If you want ramen, you go to a ramen restaurant that only serves different kinds of ramen. If you want pasta, you go to a pasta restaurant. If you want eel, you go to a restaurant that only serves eel. And so on. I wonder if this kind of setup would work in the US. A casseroles restaurant?
It might work, but the casual diner places might suffer a bit. It's funny how we have places that have a little bit of everything on the menu. That BT's I covered earlier in the week was one like that. Burgers, Sandwiches, Seafood, Pasta, you name it, they had it.
