You probably didn't mean that as sweepingly as it came out: Crappy white
bread is the standard with barbecue, and some amazingly good barbecue can be
had with it.

Right you are. The best BBQ places do give you those two pieces of ghetto white bread, it's tradition and does accompany that outside shoulder dinner with mixed sauce perfectly.
If there's bread at the table, though, I think it reflects on the focus on quality.
What gets me is when I try a new place and they can't even make eggs right, or can't bake a stinkin' chicken. Why ya in bizniss?
Generally, though, I go out for things I can't make at home. I'm not buying a whole prime rib for my family of four. I go out for that; something my daughter and I have in common. Rack of lamb is another for which I will go out.
I've waited to be seated and NOT been disappointed many times. Chalkboard, no chalkboard, I could give a rip. Good food and service and you can write my name on it as a satisfied customer.
Making people happy is not just a job. The staff has to enjoy making people happy. I don't care if it's pizza, ribs or escargot; gotta have folks that enjoy making people happy.
