I was in a restaurant in Upstate NY when a fellow patron from another table said, “You should get the crabcake, it’s fabulous.” And here’s the kicker: “And I don’t even like crabcake.”
This last prhrase, “And I don’t even like…” I have heard so many times, It always amuses me that many people think this is a good thing.
What I really want to hear is: “I try crabcake everywhere I go and I am obsessed with finding a great crabcake. And this is the place I really look forward to.” Now that’s a recommendation.
So what does a fabulous crabcake taste like to someone who doesn’t like crabcakes? It tastes like a latke. A reaally good latke that is crispy and delicious for which no crab was sacrificed.
Has this ever happened to you?
