LURE Raw Bar – Albuquerque, New Mexico
LURE. Restaurant names don’t get much better or more meaningful than that. If you’re a reader, the term “lure” may bring to mind Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick which recounts the ultimate psychological pull of the ocean, famously kicking off when Ishmael explains his urge to “sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.” Perhaps “lure” conjures Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea which explores a profound, elemental relationship and mutual reverence between an aging fisherman and the deep ocean. Many other novels have used imagery and verbiage to bring to life the lure of the sea. Mankind, it seems, is predisposed for being on or near the sea. Looking at bodies of water triggers feel-good chemicals such as dopamine and endorphins in our brains. Being near the sea also lowers levels of cortisol, the hormone that causes stress. The sound of waves and the open horizon help the brain switch off its “fight or flight” mode.
