Chapter 362

My mother once told me that my grandmother used to live in Blackmire for a while before she married Grandpa and moved with him to Neo-Arcadia.

Grandma often said, "Oh, I'd love to, but it's hard to find real Blackmire-style pastries these days. Back then, they were always made fresh, wheeled out on little carts. If you wanted your favorite treat, you had to be quick-everyone else was trying to grab them, too."

"They say it's all pre-made now, so the taste just isn't quite the same."

Lyman chimed in, "Why don't we go to Elliott's Cozy Room? They've just brought in an amazing new chef, and the place has started its soft opening. I've heard everyone who's eaten there has nothing but praise."

"We really should give it a try, then."

In fact, it was Lyman who'd suggested the chef to Elliott's Cozy Room.

Last time he'd brought Grandma there, she had said the spare ribs reminded her of the food she used to have in Blackmire, and she'd mentioned how much she missed it. After that, Lyman had asked Vinson Elliott to hire a local Blackmire chef. When they arrived at Elliott's Cozy Room, Grandma insisted they sit in the main dining hall for the lively atmosphere, rather than taking a private room.

Sure enough, there was a cart being pushed around nearby. People gathered around it, peeking in to see what was on offer, grabbing their favorites and leaving with satisfied smiles.
