The fast-casual Mediterranean thesis

Cava is the argument that you can eat 'well' without sitting down. Sometimes you can. The spicy eggplant is the reason I go. The rest is a choose-your-own-adventure that ends in tahini. I have never had a bad bowl. I have also never had a great one.

As a restaurant it is a system. Systems are useful. They are also why dinner started to feel like a software update. Use it on a weekday. Dress up for something else on Saturday.

Fine when you need vegetables in a hurry. Not a night out. Not a secret either.
