• Why the combination of getting to know their customers, delivering a great product every time, and adding personality to the mix (along with the help of a little Absinthe) makes the White Chocolate Grill one of Mark’s favorite restaurants.
• The wisdom behind the fact that difference = memorable and sameness sucks.
• How a little cookie can create a big difference – and why it makes Mark evangelical about Los Chingones restaurant in Denver.
