Deliciously predictable

My hubbie and I try to go out for lunch frequently. On a week day. I would like to think we go monthly, but it isn't that often. But we go now and again.

We find it a good time to spend together, uninterrupted and quite lovely. We enjoy nice food, a good chat and a fine sip of wine.

There is one particular venue, we really enjoy. It is a fabulous restaurant, renowned for its steaks. It costs a small mortgage in the evening, but during the day, they have amazing deals. Same stuff, cheaper prices, just a few hours earlier.

The absolute best deal is the "table d'hote". This menu consists of a small choice of starters, a select range of main meals and one dessert.  The quality, the service and the presentation is always top notch.

The best thing is however the dessert.

As said, there is only one choice, and it had been that way for the past three years. Possibly even longer. It's one if those chocolate soufflés. You know, the ones that that melt, as your spoon penetrates the surface. They are only cooked to order and need 10 minutes to cook. It is accompanied by homemade vanilla bean ice cream. Oh my word. A taste sensation. Dessert heaven.

What I like about this concept is that it works. The dessert is amazing and they know it. They don't switch it up, they don't get complicated and they don't over fancy it. One choice.

It never fails to impress and it's deliciously predictable.

I like this concept. Do it good, get it right and keep it simple.

I realize chocolate pud does not appeal to everyone, but looking around, not many desserts get rejected or are left uneaten.

So as I reflect on how wonderful this experience is, I was wondering if anything can be taken from it into life. Any parallels?

Anyone got any ideas on how this can be applied to life?

Curious to know.
