The difference is not price, but LOVE.

There was a time there were only two restaurants in the town, called “W” and “A” . I was a customer in restaurant “W”. It was pretty good, they serve in silver plates with silver spoons. Nobody knows how do they make the food and what are the ingredients. But it tasted good, so every one liked it and me too.
One day I saw the waiter serving the same food in gold plates with gold spoons. I asked the waiter why he didn't provide me in gold plates. He said I can get food in gold plates , if I pay more. I hated this inequality arise by the fact, whether you are rich or not. In the course of time I realize I became weak and one day I got viral infection. I had to go to doctor, that too only to Dr. N or Dr. M ,because only they knew how to treat me with the diet I am taking from restaurant "W".It coasted me a lot. I realized that it was the food that brought the infection. But the restaurant owner never allow anyone to examine their kitchen. I made a hard decision to change the restaurant. I heard the same story from the customers who were eating at “A”.

I went to the streets and looked for new restaurants. I found restaurant a new one called “X”, It said “We provide you food, and you provide to your friends, and let your friends to their friends”. It was just great. So eagerly I went in. I saw people were eating in clay plates with hands. One thing which was NOT there in restaurant “W” and “A”, is the happiness in the faces of the customers. This place was lively and very active. Here no one serves you, you go the chef and ask what you want, they prepare and give to you. If you were asked, they gave the recipe also in case if you want cook at home. I asked how much it coasts. I was surprised by the answer. They said its free and also they said, if you want we will pack food for your family and friends also.

I saw a strange thing also, some of the customers went in to the kitchen and made their own foods. I just wanted to taste their food , they gave me also and it teased really good. They told me how to make that food also.
I just went inside the kitchen, and I was stunned .There was not just one chef, but 100s of chefs.I remembered the phrase "Too many cooks will spoil the food"", but hereits the contrary. I saw one customer , who was eating just came in and added some strange liquid to every food. I asked them what is it, he said he found some kind of viral infection in some food, and he developed a vaccine for that and adding it to every food so that no one will be infected anymore.

I just came home and started thinking of how wonderful restaurant is this. Even though they don't have gold plates and silver spoons they provide healthy food, that too free of coast. I thought I should give some money to buy more plates so that they can serve more.

When I went to next time I was surprised. People were eating with stainless steel spoons and plates. I asked the owner , how its possible, he said with smile, many people donated and I gave my contribution also. Suddenly one guy shouted that he found a recipe to change steal spoons into silver spoons. But still many customers were not interested in that, because their main concern was what we eat rather than what we eat with. So their main aim is to provide quality and healthy food.

One day I just want to have look at other tables what they were eating. I was completely shocked. They were eating verity of foods, which I have never seen or tasted before. Every table I go , I was invited to share their food and they ask me suggestions to improve their food. I saw silver spoons, gold spoons, drinks in diamond cups, transparent spoons , invisible pates etc.. etc.. I asked how could this be possible. They said one of our customer found a way make silver spoon out of steel , and he gave the recipe to every one, we just modified and improved the recipe and made all these fancy things. But still I saw some customers , eating with hands in clay plate. I asked them why, they said they like the taste of eating by hands.
I just remembered a situation at restaurant “W”. There was a very old customer, who has been eating in that restaurant since the times where they had steel spoons. When they introduced gold spoons, they put a note that the customers were no longer allowed to eat with steel spoons, because they want to improve their business. So they strictly said steel spoon customers should buy either silver or gold spoons. This poor guy couldn't afford it, so he was kicked out of that restaurant.

I learned a good philosophy in restaurant “X”. Whether you eat with gold spoon or silver spoon, the main purpose of the food is to fill our stomach,build our body and protect us from diseases. In the restaurants “W” and “A”, I never know what my food was made of, and I never know whether its healthy or not. I have to just believe the words of the restaurant owner that its healthy and tasty.
But here to the contrary , I could see the ingredients and I could see how they make food. I could see all the protein rich, vitamin rich ingredients are mixed together and spices from different parts of world were added to make more tastier than anything else. If you feel salt or spicy is less you can add by your self. But in restaurants “W” and “A” you have to say to the chef, and he won't do it by saying other customers wont like it.


I realize the one big difference between restaurant “X” and restaurants “W” . In restaurant “W”, whether they love it or not, they HAVE TO provide food, because I pay for them. In restaurant “X” they DON'T HAVE TO provide food, because I don't pay them. But still they provide food, the only reason behind this is, THEY JUST LOVE TO DO IT. So here comes the difference, it is the LOVE they show on to their customers. Restaurants “W” and “A” provides fancy,nicely dressed expensive and typical restaurant food, but restaurant “X” provides me a healthy home made food with “LOVE”.

Thanks to restaurant “X”, The word customer no longer exists in restaurant "X". We become big family and formed a community. I really enjoyed my food. Still I am a family member of “X” and I never want to go back to “W”.

After seeing the potentials of "X", "A" started providing quality food. They opened part of their kitchen for the customers. But they can't provide everything free of coast. Restaurant "W" still having the falls belief that their customers are addicted to their food. But its not true, their customers got used to eat with spoons, thats all. Even though they don't like the food, they don't know how to eat with hands or with other type of spoons.

PS: For dump readers, here is the dictionary
restaurant “X” : linuX
food : Operating system
spoons : GUI
eating by hands : command line
In this context rest of the things could be easily understood. If not you are customer of restaurant “W” or “A” and their food made you so dump, I feel sorry for you that no one can help you.
