I chose not to finish the post Less is More. It demonstrates my point. A rarity when words can act as a pictorial of a point. For a reader or diner, we are talking food, the post was incomplete. It provided less. It took less time to write, read, and think about. And yet where is the more. Gone, it vanished. Like the magic trick without an outcome. The more never existed. We need to focus on stripping down, refining and polishing everything to provide the more. Just enough is more. We could go over the top with quantity and show and flourish and pampering and by the end guests will say enough! The layering of excessive on top of excessive leads to gluttony. We need to pick the points, refine and adapt as we go along to provide just enough in each experience so individuals feel completed, not short changed or over burdened. The hardest part is knowing when doing anything to say when, like pouring a glass of wine or serving a plate of food. Saying when for guests without having them have to make the decision is an art form we are slowly trying to learn.
