Partly my age and partly not drinking alcohol removes me from most of the other yelpers. Often I find highly rated restaurants hold no appeal for me as I could give a a rat's patootie how many kinds of beer are stocked. I have been to many places in my life and times bringing me to realize that most things simply do not matter in the long run. It is only how much I enjoy each day that matters.
My reviews reflect how a place or a restaurant made me feel not just the food or the service or who else dines there. A recent first visit to Superior Restaurant made me feel my age, my life, my likes and my differences. I had never read a review for Superior in the year I have spent with yelp. If Superior were in NYC or LA tourists and locals would line up. In my city there is no wait for the biggest Reuben I ever saw. Since I know there are few suppliers of corned beef in Cleveland I am aware that I am likely to be served the same product every place even with a "BEST CLEVELAND CORNED BEEF" recognition by someone somewhere.
Eating only half of the huge sandwich I felt strong affinity for my hometown. Superior is one more treasure that we do not boast about. We take for granted what residents elsewhere have to gloat over to reaffirm their advantage. Superior is better than most delis I have been to anywhere yet it goes on about its business in a lackluster deli environment without concern to how many stars or how many reviews are thrown its way.
