Last Friday night we came from the airport, picked up Mom, and in a stab a finger on a Google search and do that one, picked Himalayan Kitchen in downtown Salt Lake for our dinner. Our youngest joined us once he got through traffic (it was bad.)
Halfway through the meal, I called the waiter over. He came right away, looking like he was hoping everything was okay but worrying that I thought it was not because our glasses were full and why else would we….
Me: There is (name of the restaurant) in (name of the town) near us that is in the Michelin Guide, and I’ve had their lamb saag many times.
Yours is better.
His face lit up and he motioned in excitement to I wasn’t sure who and said, I’ll go tell her! It is her recipe!
I was expecting some grandmotherly type, but no, it was the young woman busily busing the tables who came over, absolutely beaming, and I repeated what I’d said. She thanked me and about danced away from there.
I have now found my place to eat in that city. It’s noisy, but the food is great and so are the people.

Such a simple thing and many people wouldn’t have thought to do it. You have made who knows how many people happy and proud. Bless you.
