Today's theme is "outlier". One of the definitions of outlier is:
"someone who stands apart from others of his or her group, as by differing actions, beliefs, religious practices, etc... Synonyms: outsider, nonconformist, maverick; original, eccentric, bohemian; dissident, dissenter, iconoclast, heretic."
We have a friend who fits this description to a tee. Tee for Terry. Terry runs a restaurant called Hino's. A Japanese restaurant...because Terry Hino is Japanese.
Terry's run his restaurant for close to 30 years. We discovered him about 10 years ago and have visited him about once a month ever since.
We always are offered a place of pride; sitting at the bar overlooking the kitchen. That way we can chat with Terry while he makes our dinner.
Funny guy. He hates being busy. He'll swear to himself when customers walk in because he knows it means more work. He'll swear in French for my wife's benefit.
Yet he's fast. So fast it's hard to take a picture of him.
But the food is delicious.
His eccentricities are charming.
And his friendship is valued.

Happy Happy Birthday, John. Here's to many more!
Sorry, I couldn't resist, especially on your birthday.
Hope you're having a happy one too, my friend.
Great entry today. He does look busy and fast.
Thanks for clearing that up for me Dufus! *smile*
And a most righteous and happy birthday to ye Dufus!
Great take on the theme, both photo and post.
;-)
Hell, finding a good server is hard enough.
Great take on the theme! Thought at first that you were going to say that he owned a Japanese restaurant and was Chinese - that would be an outlier for sure!
Now I'm craving Japanese food.
That comment would be an Outlier.
