rut boy
Despite my love for trying new foods, restaurants and experiences I have this habit of discovering a new place, menu item or whatever and doing it to death and never returning to it. Has this ever happened to you? Maybe it's like falling in love and recognizing later it was only lust or temporary infatuation. As an example the first time I ate a Midnight Cuban at Paseo Caribbean in Seattle, I was so blown away by the sweetly smokey ham and pork, the tangy zip of the banana peppers, and the rich combo of melted Swiss and aioli that I almost ordered another one out of disbelief. Then the rut set in. I was eating them on an almost daily basis. Sometimes I'd get one for lunch and then swing by for another for dinner. My frequency of visits got me on a first name basis with the manager Shawn. He didn't seem concerned that I was heading for another rut which would eventually lead to me hating the very sight of the sammy that I had worshipped as a diety for months. If you haven't been to Paseo, let the rut begin...4225 Fremont Ave., North, Seattle, (206) 545-7440

I have personally witnessed this "rut" that Scott so fondly refers. Being a person who frequently indulges with the "cranium" I therefore get sucked into that same rut and thus the same distain for those once loved establishments. Baldy actually amazes me at how long he can actually stay in the rut. Most, as I, have climbed out while our friend continues the perplexing path for many more visits. His glut is legendary, indeed.
GT-you're simply an enabler to the rut-oriented lifestyle and you need to help me by introducing me to new, and eventually disposed of ruts.
