Each and every one works hard to be unique, and few serve straight-up spot-on classics. I think this may have often been the case in the old days as well, except today we have the added pressure from our "modernized" palates. I'm reminded of the old "flips" from the 1700's and how you don't see those in their original form today despite how radically cool that would be. Pardon me while I go heat up my loggerhead in the fire...
