What if it was something which sounded mundane but which was PERFECTLY
rendered? Suppose it was early asparagus season and the restaurant had
gotten more asparagus than they expected to use, so they offered a special
of hanger steak with asparagus -- not all that exciting to hear, but what if
the steak and asparagus were cooked JUST RIGHT? You probably wouldn't order
it, but you might look at a nearby table and wish you had.
