Top 100 Kuber-Ross cliff notes
And so it is that you and / or your loved restaurants are not listed in the top 100 restaurants. Again. Let us remember the Kuber-Ross five points.
1. Denial:
• Restaurant X has great food, a superior wine list, an amazing staff and a perfect ambiance. How can any critic not acknowledge that?
2. Anger:
• What a fool I am to let this happen to me again.. Every year - I get my hopes up and then some hip hole in the wall makes it. It's not fair!
3. Bargaining:
• Example - "Just let me get thru this economy. We can show everyone how great we can be."
4. Depression:
• Example - "What’s the point. He’s not going to like us next year either. Maybe we can last longer that the Chronicle that would be a type of victory."
5. Acceptance:
• Example - "I can't fight it, I may as well impress every guest that comes in the door."
