I can’t say I go to the Japanese Steakhouse very often, but when I do you better believe I want to see that onion volcano.
Even though I’ve seen the onion volcano before, I want to see it again.
It’s not as astonishing as the first time I saw it, but I want to see it again.
It’s not that if they didn’t do the onion volcano that the food wouldn’t taste as good…I just like seeing the volcano.
And when I see the onion volcano there is a little tiny part of me that is more fulfilled with the experience…which DOES make the food better doesn’t it?
The onion volcano is foundational, defining, pillar content for the Japanese Steakhouse.
They do it every time even when they’re tired of doing it.
It doesn’t make the food better, except that it does make the food better.
Just like that weekly social media post, or that phrase you say to open your show, or that extra thing you put with your autograph, or the way the guitar player plays the solo behind his head at the end of that one song.
Even though we’ve seen it before we want to see it again. It helps us remember what makes you, you. We know it’s coming and that’s part of the satisfaction.
If I’m going to a Japanese Steakhouse I’m hoping they’ll do the onion volcano again.
When your fans interact with you on social media or at a live show, what are they hoping you’ll do again?
