lentil soup
Whenever I'm working down at Tulsi Holistic Living in Dupont Circle, I look forward to going to Steam Cafe (corner of 17th and R, NW...GO!). Moroccan owners. Their lentil soup, magnificent. And yesterday, bastilla I didn't even ask for but was phenomenal! Why? Just because. For you! You'll like it! No charge.
The crepes, chai, soup, etc is all awesome. And I appreciate good food, loved food.
But that's not why I go. Though it's reason enough.
I go because I love the owners. They are warm and kind. Their eyes are clear and beautiful and open. And they want me to be happy. Me likes. Me happy.
So yesterday, the owner says, "I'm not in the food business. I'm in the people business. You can get food anywhere."
Enough said.

good stuff! Will have to try that place sometime...AND come visit you at the center!
Funny, I was talking to the owners of the new vineyard Notaviva and the husband was telling me how he and his wife put everything into their business and he was really hoping it'll be successful and I said "of course it will be...you treat people right" and we went on to have a conversation about how its really not about the wine, its about the experience and how people view it once they're there! I have found my most favorite wineries are the ones where I feel welcomed and at home :) Similar to what you're talking about I think?
