I actually don't really like it when stories revolve around food. I don't like watching people cook, I don't even like cooking shows. But this is different. It's friendly, warm, welcoming, simple. And it's not so much about cooking as it is about enjoying the food. And there are also stories of people who go out to eat after midnight in a pub in the backstreets, where they definitely don't get more than three drinks. It's pleasantly peaceful and, I would say, nostalgic. You have to be in the mood for it.
