Corporate Takeover
I ate there in July and was sorely disappointed. I guess once a corporation takes over a place from Mom and Pop, the restaurant goes "Denny's." The service was slow and after all that wait, the food was cold.
It's the old sausage game! Granny makes great sausage and her relatives tell her to sell it. It sells great and goes national. A corporation buys Granny out and she retires relatively rich! Then... the corporation puts 10% sawdust in the sausage. The consumer says, "yummy." The corporation puts 20% sawdust in... The consumer still says, "yummy." The corporation keeps increasing the sawdust until the sausage is 90% chemically enhanced sawdust. There is a consumer for it, just not the ones whom first enjoyed it.
I pity the poor toursists who dine at the Wolfeboro Inn. But, they probably wouldn't have come back anyway.
