Second Act

For the travelers that they feed—those who have sought out the restaurant for its reputation and those who are amazed at their good fortune in having stumbled onto such a meal—Vernon hopes New Sammy’s will trigger fond memories. Like the menus with which he has covered the walls, he would like this evening’s meal to be remembered the way the New Boonville’s are: as a remarkable detour on life’s bumpy journey. “And then maybe you’ll come back and it will be important for your life and the other restaurants you go to,” he says. “A restaurant is just a small portion of what real life is all about.”
