deja vu dining

thanks nytimes dining section critics. thanks for your ridiculously surprised assessment of olive garden, tgi friday's, cheesecake factory, and the like. thanks. thanks for making us plebes feel a little less idiotic for, as you noted, creating long waiting lists at these places on saturday nights. not that i would choose most of these places myself on a saturday night, but still, they have their definite appeal and special place in my memory.
