A: Hey, I went to this newly-opened Italian restaurant downtown, and their pizza was amazing. You should go try it! B: Oh yeah? Who did you go with? A: By myself..? Why? B: How can you do that? I can never eat alone at restaurants. A: Hmm. That’s because you don’t know the joy of solo dining yet. B: I understand you sometimes need your own time, but I still prefer eating with others. You can’t eat alone at certain types of restaurants. A: Why not? I’ve solo-dined at every possible place from convenience stores to barbeque restaurants. B: That’s admirable. What about bars for social gatherings? A: I’m actually going to an izakaya tonight. It’s the highest level according to the lone diner guide. B: Wow, you deserve the title of “solo dining expert”.
