28、s? This Restaurant Trend Has Become Harder to Swallow.A. If you think the great equalizer in rank-conscious Washington is the Department of Motor Vehicles or a summons to appear for jury duty, you haven“t been out to eat lately. Thanks to greed for fashionable food served in appetizer-size restauran
29、tsand an abundance of millennial patiencethe leveling agent for secretaries and Secretary of State alike boils down to this: More of us are waiting in line for dinner because restaurants aren“t taking reservations. B. Eager to explore the Thai fireworks at Little Serow in Dupont Circle at prime time
30、? Prepare to wait up to three hours on weekends for one of fewer than 30 seats. Meanwhile, ramen (拉面) lovers know it“s easier to access Toki Underground on H Street NE on weekdays, when the wait might be a mere hour, versus the weekend, when the drill can take three times as long. C. The latest game
31、-changer, Compass Rose off booming 14th Street NW, is a cozy source for international street food that offers snacks from Brazil, India and Spaina little bit of everything, it seems, except for confirmed bookings. D. Restaurateurs say they don“t take reservations because they want to avoid no-shows
32、and latecomers, which eat into their bottom line, but also because they know they can pack in more diners. Indeed, the policy, which clearly favors host over guest, is creating tension and buzz; as different as the eateries (小饭馆) mentioned before are, they all play to full houses. It also illustrate
33、s an economy that has rebounded. In lean times, a business wouldn“t dare make it difficult for you to use them. E. The reality that so many worthy young restaurants are forgoing (放弃) reservations is evidence of a culture that gets as excited to see a star chef as the FLOTUS, and of a city that“s liv
34、ing to eat rather than eating to live. Food warriors now brag about scoring the dishes at Little Serow the way they used to boast about keeping a wine locker at Capital Grille. F. The shift is surprising for a city where power brokers like to be recognized and, better yet, to show off their standing
35、. Maybe that“s what sets Washington apart from other markets: a high degree of self-importance. No other major food city makes some of its most coveted seats so hard to secure. Challenging as they are to access, even white-hot Momofuku Noodle Bar in New York and Flour + Water in San Francisco offer
36、some reservations. G. The allure of the near-unattainable has been good for other than the sexy restaurants in question; beneficiaries of the no-reservations policy include the hot spots“ neighbors, where aspiring diners go to drink or snack while they wait, fingers crossed, to get a text or call in
37、forming them their table is ready. Jamie Leeds, the owner of two Hank“s Oyster Bars near Little Serow and Rose“s Luxury, picks up an extra dozen or so customers a night at her seafood eateries. The daily average might be small, she says, but over the course of the year, the numbers add up and the ex
38、posure is impressive. “Customers come back on their own.“ H. On the surface, not saving tables sounds egalitarian (平等主义的). Whoever shows up first has a shot at getting in, regardless of power or contacts. Anyone who has ever tried and failed to score seats at such extreme reservations as Minibar by
39、Jos Andrs in Washington or the French Laundry from Thomas Keller in Napa Valley can appreciate the idea of more or less dining by lottery. I. But hospitality takes a holiday at establishments that don“t book. In effect, these restaurants are saying, “It“s more important for us to fill every seat tha
40、n to treat diners like guests.“ Think about it. Who invites people to dinner and then makes them wait until the cook is good and ready to let you in, much less eat? By not guaranteeing tables, restaurants dismiss whole groups of would-be patrons. The masses include senior citizens who might not be a
41、ble to stand for long or don“t go out after dark, parents who may be reluctant to shell out $20 an hour for child care for a meal that may or may not happen, and suburban residents reluctant to drive in for the chance to be turned away. I smell ageism (对老年人的歧视). Sure enough, a scan of the dining roo
42、ms that don“t book tables could be a casting call for a J.Crew catalogue. J. About that defense from restaurants, that the no-reservations policy helps them avoid no-shows? The hospitality industry would be wise to adopt the practice of doctors, dentists and fitness trainers, who charge customers wh
43、o fail to show for an appointment. A fair penalty? The check average, per person, for every guest who fails to honor a commitmentYelp blow-back be damned. Some restaurants publicly shame no-shows: Red Medicine in Los Angeles and Noma in Copenhagen have both posted the names of AWOL customers online.
44、 K. Affluent and over-educated Washingtonians are not used to being told no. It“s one thing for Open Table to let you know, late at night in the comfort of your pajamas, you can“t eat someplace on the day and time selected, quite another to be told “no“ in person at a host stand with dates, clientsa
45、nyone you want to impressin tow. Such restaurant rejection is yet another reminder of disruption culture; the old rules and old access don“t apply in 2014. L. Some argue that just because you like to eat doesn“t give you entree anywhere. As a fashion designer with democratic impulses told me, “You c
46、an“t get XXL in Comme des Garcons.“ Some experiences, in other words, will always be out of reach. M. If it hasn“t happened yet, it will soon: Someone with more money than time is going to enlist the help of an assistant or receptionist to stand in line as a human place-holder for the bragging right
47、s of a seat in a restaurant the public is dying to try. N. Fair or notI vote notthat kind of behavior goes against the spirit of dining out, at least for me. A sense of friendship forms when you huddle with people on a joint mission, even one as transient as dinner, and for some participants, the ex
48、citement of landing a hot table (“Yes! We made it!“) is right up there with successful deep-sea dives and climbs of Everest. O. Again, the restaurant wins, too. Which diner, having endured the difficulties of getting a reservation at Noma, perhaps the toughest ticket on the planet right now, is goin
49、g to say the food was just okay? P. What goes around comes around. When Erik Bruner-Yang, the chef of the no-reservations Toki Underground, visited a like-minded peer, his verbal review of the production began: “I waited two hours for Rose“s.“(分数:71.00)(1).The names of customers who don“t show up at reservation time are posted online by some restaurants as a penalty.(分数:7.10)(2).A high degree of arrogance is the unique characteristic of Washington.(分数:7.10)(3).The fa
