"You might think of yourself as too cool for The Smith (and you might be), but that doesn’t change the fact that you could probably bring Kristen Stewart here and even she might enjoy herself. Sure, the food isn’t going to blow your mind - but it is going to be perfect for your aunt in town from a place where arugula seems exotic, or that high school friend reunion with people you haven’t seen in eight years, or even a first date with someone you met on the Internet 12 hours ago. Think of The Smith as your blank slate - it’s never going to offend anyone, and it’ll be more than okay with just about everyone." - katherine lewin
