Méditerranée
(In the style of Rachel Chalmers, I recount this conversation with no comment, other than this sentence. And this sentence fragment, and the following sentence fragment:)
Eating at La Méditerranée with Michelle:
Michelle: Do you know which La Méditerranée was the original?
Seth: I've always assumed that the Berkeley one came first and the San Francisco one was later. But I don't have any evidence for that except that I ate in the Berkeley one before I ate in the San Francisco one.
Michelle: You know, when you close your eyes, the restaurant stops existing, too.
Seth: A classic example of Berkeleian idealism.
