I can't, and I won't try
There is the "live to eat" crowd, those who love fancy hoity-toity food. Where things like "molecular gastronomy" isn't just two words stitched together. Then there's the "eat to live" crowd, where, like my dad, will eat pretty much anything in front of him, but will eat everything edible. He eats cartilage off of chicken. He'll microwave a potato or an ear of corn, grab it with a towel, and then just peel it back like a banana and munch on it. Most everyone is somewhere in between. They like the occasional "fine dinner" but understand that chili was a way to use leftover ground beef of "maybe not to great" quality.
If you're in the "tea totaler" category, I can't convince you about the wonders of V&A and TT. It's the wrong side for your palette. It may be something you'd try once, and you can determine if you like it or if it's not for you.
How do you feel about places like HBD or Tiffin's or Cali Grill?
