The front desk knows where they eat, I know where the tourist traps are.

Wondering if altitude plays into this too. I moved from sea level to 5,000 feet last year and suddenly my 3 day dough turned to soup while my 1 day loaves got way better. Never see anyone talk about it but thinner air might change how fast your starter burns through the flour.

Did you ever try to read your own site on a phone while standing outside? I had the same thing happen with a pale gray menu on a white header, and it looked fine on my laptop but turned into a ghost on my phone in the sun. Now I check contrast first before I pick anything, so the sun never gets to decide what my text looks like.
