Hey, name's Kagami.

Just wanted to get opinions and suggestions and whatever.

Back when I was at Avalon, I got a business license and opened my own diner. Your kinda vintage/retro American classic diner.

And for those of you who don't know what that means because you're not from Earth or haven't been to the States or whatever, it's basically a restaurant that sold lots of casual comfort foods - fried foods like burgers, hot dogs, milkshakes.

Anyway, I wanna bring that back and I wanted to know if anyone would be interested in something like that. Don't see anything like it in Nightwake or otherwise so I think it'd fill a pretty good niche. And hey, if you're wanting to be part of the waitstaff or help cook, hit me up about that too!

Also taking menu suggestions. It's not a promise, though.

Later.

EDIT: Apparently, too many of you don't know what any of the food I mentioned is. Here's some pictures:

gonna have fish n chips?

[taigastripes]

Eh, sure, why not. I'm already planning on fries, obviously. Any particular fish with the chips? I haven't had it in awhile so I don't remember what it usually is besides it being fried.

[nomither]

where i'm from? cod or haddock
tho i hear other places use what's available

[privateeyed]

no one in their right mind would say theyre not interested
and if they do im judging them
no bias here whatsoever

[taigastripes]

You'd be surprised how picky people are with restaurants, man. It was successful on Avalon though, so I'm confident it'll work here.

[privateeyed]

bet those people have never had a decent burger in their life

You know, I've been thinking about my Karaoke Bar from Avalon.

Maybe we could collaborate?

[taigastripes]

You know it! I need to see how to get a jukebox here, anyway.

[saxsongs]

Hmm.

How would you feel about a merge? Karaoke booths you can retreat to sing, but also a diner where you can get great food and music from the jukebox? Of course you could order food to the karaoke booths too.

[ Too. Many. Words, ugh. ]

I mean it's hard to have an opinion on you starting a restaurant without trying your food

[taigastripes]

[At least it wasn't the essay Nahida wrote?]

The question isn't if I should start one, it's seeing if anyone is interested in that style of restaurant. If you don't know, just say so, man.

The States? The States of what?

[taigastripes]

United States of America.

What are burgers or hot dogs?

And surely a milkshake can't be simply a milk that is shaken! I'm afraid you'll have to explain these kind of food as I'm not "retro American classic diner" enough.

[taigastripes]

Edited the top post with pictures.

Burgers and hotdogs are just a kinda meat and bread with extra toppings or condiments depending on what you want.

Nah, nowadays it's made with blending milk and ice cream. Sometimes additional flavors are added too, but I'm not going to get all fancy with it. Just vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate for now.

Greetings Master Kagami,

I hope this message finds you well.

Your ambition to start your own business is admirable. Although I am unfamiliar with the foods that you have mentioned, one can never go wrong with expanding the variety available to us. Should your plan come to fruition, I would very much like to visit your establishment at the earliest convenience. I find myself particularly intrigued by the "hot dogs" and "milkshakes".

May I inquire as to what beverages that would be available?

As for suggestions, in regards to fried foods, deep-fried okeanis is well-loved in my home nation. In case you are unfamiliar, the okeanis is a type of freshwater serpentine wavekin. Perhaps, if okeanis is not available, there is a similar substitution.

Sincerely,
Ser Aymeric de Borel

[taigastripes]

...uh, wow, didn't expect a formal letter.

Well, I posted some photos up top if you want to see some examples.

I guess aside from the milkshakes, it would be soda and coffee and juice.

Serpentine? As in snakes?

[kagebunshin]

i dunno what american is but it sounds weird. you really cook dogs?? you should make ramen instead!

[taigastripes]

America is just another country with their own type of food. If you think that's weird and wanna be picky and only wanna stick to Japanese food, then go to a ramen shop.

Hot dogs aren't made from dogs. It's just sausage.

[katsuking]

How many cooks do you need? American food is easy as hell to make.

[taigastripes]

Have you worked at a restaurant before? I ain't hiring you if you think it's gonna to be a breeze just because it's American.

[idlehanded]

Oh man, that'd rule!
You need to have a big breakfast menu too. Gotta get your scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon etc. right.

You should do soda floats too, you know with root beer and coke and stuff?

[taigastripes]

Oh, you know it! I had a breakfast menu last time for the morning rush of folks back in Avalon. Chicken and waffles was weirdly popular.

I'll have to see what kinda soda they got here too because you're right, soda floats should definitely be an option.

There's no America where I'm from, but diners are a thing, and they serve similar things to that at home.

That being said, not a cook, but I can work as wait staff.

[taigastripes]

Hey, as long as you got diners, then it not being American is cool.

That would be awesome, thanks!
