Brown Motion

No this is not a politically motivated speech.  Nor a lecture on economic outlook.  Rather my recent experience at a supposedly highbrow restaurant in San Francisco.  Part of the Michael Mina group - for someone not familiar with the name - a migrant to America who made it big cooking up meals with spices of the east and soon partnered with the business savvy of a famous tennis star to crank out a chain of high end eateries in the USA. This establishment is named RN74.  Starting with its name it tries to alienate someone trying to first figure out that they serve food.  Isn't that the main idea?  Apparently not.  In summary I found this place to be an expensive bar with some food on the side.  Literally and figuratively (as in when the check arrives). So I did some digging before visiting.  Let me back up.  For someone who has known me to have a pre-conceived wariness of anything highbrow why did I go?  It was a business dinner...
