A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World (WN)

Chapter 981 The Judge of The Meat Category

The new notice that Mag put up caused quite a commotion amongst the customers because the reward was simply too attractive!

All the items in Mamy Restaurant would be free flow and free of charge, including tofu pudding!

Almost all the customers going into the restaurant would take a look and try to remember the person in the picture. Even though they didn’t know him, what if they met him on the road one day?

There were even people taking down crucial information with a notebook. They seemed to have the idea of setting up a search party.

Yabemiya and the gang also found out what Mag was doing during their lunch. They saw the customers reading the missing-person notice seriously, and all of them thought, Boss is really a kind man.

Mamy Restaurant seems to be very famous recently. I heard it has already overtaken Ducas Restaurant as Chaos City’s top restaurant. But I wonder if it lives up to its reputation. After all, the roast pig that Beate made was rather impressive. The ranking of the meat dishes would have to follow according to their actual tastes. An elderly man with white hair looked at the signboard outside of Mamy Restaurant before he followed the crowd in.

Avis, who had left Chaos City for Rodu at the age of 16, became an apprentice chef at Reid Restaurant, and continued working there for 50 years before becoming a sous chef.

Reid Restaurant was in the top five restaurants in Rodu. It was very popular and had a great reputation.

The roast pig was the signature dish of Reid Restaurant, and was considered the best pork dish in Reid Restaurant.

Beate had been an apprentice in the Reid Restaurant for 10 years, and he was his mentor.

Beate later left Reid Restaurant. He returned to Chaos City and became the head chef of Ducas Restaurant. He made Ducas Restaurant the best restaurant in Chaos City with the roast pig.

Avis rather liked his disciple, Beate, who was quite talented. He was the one who gave him the advice to set up Ducas Restaurant then.

Rodu was a very hierarchical place. He had spent 50 years, and was the best chef of Reid Restaurant at roasting pig, but he could only be a sous chef at most.

Therefore, he didn’t want to see Beate, who also hailed from Chaos City, waste his whole life there and never get to the position where he could be the one to make the final decisions.

He ended his career as a chef in Reid Restaurant using his health as an excuse a while back. He had also rejected the other restaurants’ invitations with a high salary. He decided to return to Chaos City to enjoy his retirement as his children and their families were all living in Chaos City.

Robert had gone to invite him to be the judge for the meat dishes ranking. He only agreed after listening to Robert’s ideals of reviving Chaos City’s culinary scene.

Although Beate was his disciple, Avis didn’t tell him about him being the judge. And in order not to affect his judgement, he had placed Ducas Restaurant as the last on his list.

The first restaurant he picked for that afternoon was Mamy Restaurant. He was a little surprised with its popularity. The line outside it was even longer than the one at Reid Restaurant.

However, the popularity wasn’t going to affect his judgement, because he was only going to review the meat dishes. A restaurant only needed one scrumptious dish to be popular, for example, like the Reid Restaurant.

Actually, there was another reason that Avis had agreed to Robert’s invitation and that was the boss of this restaurant—Mr Mag.

As the sous chef of Reid Restaurant, he had naturally been present at the birthday banquet of the King of the Roth Empire.

Reid’s roast pig had taken the title of the best dish of the court banquet thrice. He was in charge of the roasting twice out of the three times they won. Hence, he had only viewed Chef Bellmann as his competitor for the court banquet’s best dish.

But nobody had expected that the court banquet’s best dish would be won by an unknown young chef. The king hadn’t even tasted the roast pig coming after.

That was the trigger that caused him to leave Reid. This was a huge setback to him. Yet, he was also very curious when Chaos City had such an impressive young chef like him. It made him want to go back to have a look.

Avis glanced at the missing-person notice at the door when he entered. Helping a vagrant to look for his long-lost son? This gave him a different perception of this young chef.

As he was early, there were still seats available when he followed the crowd into the restaurant.

He sat down and began to appraise the restaurant.

Compared to the four-stories-tall Reid Restaurant, this Mamy Restaurant was not big at all. In fact, it wasn’t even as big as a single story of Reid.

But the restaurant’s decoration made a person feel very comfortable. The original wooden tables and chairs even had the same markings when he observed closer. There were nice green plants hanging on the carved railings which made one feel warm in this early winter.

The murals on the walls were rather elegant as they portrayed the different species very intricately.

What made Avis even more astonished was that the restaurant not only didn’t segregate the zones, it didn’t even segregate the tables. Demons and elves were sitting at the same table. Orcs and humans were sitting side by side. Even in Chaos City, such scenes were not usual.

It seems like this Boss really has something up his sleeves, Avis thought. Then, he flipped open the menu on the table, and the descriptions with pictures made his eyes widen. He was surprised at the same time.

The cheapest snack on the menu cost 200 copper coins. The Peking Duck even cost 2000 copper coins a helping. The roast pig in Reid Restaurant only cost 5000 copper coins, and that was meant for six people.

Furthermore, Reid Restaurant was a 100-year-old enterprise. How could this six-month-old restaurant compare to it?

The spicy grilled fish got the best dish award at the court banquet, but this dish should be considered under the seafood category. There were also the braised chicken and rice and pepper steak at the court banquet. The braised chicken and rice has soup in it, I wonder if it is listed under the soup category. In this case, today I shall try the pepper steak, beef kebabs, Peking Duck… Avis looked at the dish that was marked with the red words “new item” under the meat category. He mumbled, “Why don’t I try this red braised pork first? Creation of a new item is the ultimate test of a chef’s capabilities.”

“May I take your order?” Yabemiya asked with a smile when she came to Avis’s table.

Avis wasn’t in a hurry to order, and instead he asked Yabemiya, “May I ask what kind of pork is this red braised pork made of?”

“This red braised pork dish is made with the meat of the Fiery Pig,” Yabemiya answered smilingly.
