Jaded was nearly startled when she looked up to see Reason. She quickly covered it up with one of her grins.

"Hello. Fancy meeting you here. Do you own this place?"

She took a sip of her drink and blushed into her cup at the compliment. She never did know how to take compliments very well. As she set the glass back down she hoped that her face had went back to normal.

"Philadelphia is good. How are things in Detroit? Is business good?"

She looked over at him and stopped her rambling. She realized she asked a lot of questions without giving him time to come up with an answer.

"Well, you know, we're fine in Detroit and all, but with Tepid dead.... It's different you know. It kind of gets lonely most of the time and this business is going pretty well if I do say so myself. Hmmm, smells good. I'm guessing your meal is ready. Here, let me fill your orange juice again."

Reason got up and filled up her glass again. When he got back and handed it to her, he saw that her plate was ready. Poutine. His favorite meal, to be honest. Not the most healthy one, but was it ever good. His stomach rumbled and he just then realized that he hadn't eaten his lunch.

"I'll let you eat, then. You seem shy so I'll leave you be. I hope the food's good! I'm going to go get one myself."

Reason walked back to the kitchen and told the cook to make him poutine, too. After that, Reason went to sit at a booth with a glass of water and read the newspaper. 

She gratefully looked at her poutine. It nearly made her mouth water and she couldn't even remember the last time she had gravy.

"Thank you." she managed to murmur just before Reason left.

Eagerly she tucked into her meal. Forkful after forkful of the gravy, cheese and fries mix. She knew her choice hadn't been the best but it was so good. She sat and thought that yummy should outweigh any of the calories she was currently gaining. Plus she had juice. Juice was good for you, wasn't it?

Quickly finishing her meal she left a couple of hundreds on the table. She knew it was much more than the meal cost but businesses needed money so she figured she could help out. She missed Tepid as well. Even Philadelphia would not be the same without him.

Dashing out the door she turned towards her next business deal.

Martiimus walks into the establishment in search of nourishment. By jupiters iron cock the house of vongola shall not perish this day due to lack of food.

"Excuse me, what do you suggest for a man in search of nourishment?"

Reason was in the back room in his blooming restaurant. He decided that maybe addition to the menu was needed, but not for now. Right now, the place was doing okay and didn't need change. Not right now. Reason grabbed his coat off the hook in the back room where he was and headed out. He closed the door saying: 

"Rodrigo! I'm leaving! I need to catch a train and I want to be there early. Don't forget to lock up the place when you're done!"

Reason walked to the front door and saw a man walk in. Martii asked him for advice about what food would fill up his stomach. 

"I would suggest moose steak which comes with a side order of fries and with that, you can either take another entrée or if you want to quench your thirst afterwards, take a drink. If you want to eat something sweet after your meal, try the pouding chômeur. It's absolutely terrific. Your sweet tooth will be dancing around your mouth you'll feel like a Mexican fiesta is occurring in there! But for now, excuse me. I have to leave because I need to catch a train. I'll give you a menu in case you want to eat something else rather than a steak. You can always ask Rodrigo for more information about the foods and what-not. Talking about him, Rodrigo!!!! Get your ass over here; there is a customer waiting! Damn, we really do need a bell in this store!"

"Sir, we had a bell in the storage room. I'll set it up when the shop closes."

"You're a good man, Rodrigo. Take care and until next time. I hope you have a good meal, sir."

With that, Reason was out the door, venturing off to new experiences that were waiting for him. 

"Have you made your decision, sir? Or would you perhaps like more time deciding?"

Not long in Detroit, Declan was simply trying to get a lay of the land as he walked down the busy streets. The city for the most part was alive and bustling, in its prime with the steel industry. He noticed a sickening trend of hopefulness that many of the locals had as the businesses were once again booming, prohibition was over, and a semblance of safety had returned to the streets. He couldn't be sure that it was all Remus's influence but a certain amount of prosperity had returned once they had moved into town. 

The last time he'd been through Detroit in passing, the city had been pretty bleak with no one running it, but perhaps he was simply jaded. Regardless of that however, he was keenly aware of how hungry he was and decided to give Reason's shop a try. He stepped through the doorway and into the restaurant, looking around at the menu before taking a seat. Reason was nowhere to be seen and so he gave his order to the other man running the joint. It smelled good and he knew it was going to taste even better once the plate of hot food arrived. 

Gattz was very hungry after doing his usual business at detroit.

He saw the The Canadian Bacon and enter the establishment.

He went to the corner of the establishment and saw a vacant table.

After seeing the menu, he whistle and shout, "waiter".

The waiter went to Gattz table and ask him. "Hi sir, may i take your order?"

Hmmmmm " o yes please, i want some, Nova Scotia Lobster, Sushi Pizza 10", Butter tarts and Apple Juice, thats all thanks.

The waiter listed all Gattz order and went to the counter.

After 15 minutes of waiting, Gattz order are ready to serve.

The waiter served the Food at Gattz table " Enjoy sir "

Thank you " Gattz replied "

Gattz ate his food and after 10 mins, he left 50$ at his table and went back to his business

After looking around the menu for a bit Martiimus decides to follow the owners advice.

I decided to go with what you advised thank you,

Martiimus proceeds to take his seat awaiting his meal.

"Oh, so you've made your choice. An excellent one it is, sir. I will make the chef aware of your meal. Let me bring you a journal while you wait and possibly while you eat." Rodrigo said.

Rodrigo went to the back room and saw that it was locked. He reached in his pockets and took the keys out which he used to unlock it. He reached for a newspaper from the wad that The Canadian Bacon had and returned to Martii to give it to him. Then, he went back to the cook and told him Martii's order. He went back to the man's table and told him that his food would be ready very soon. 

Rodrigo was at another's table, talking to a man. When he heard the bell ringing indicating that a new client had arrived, he finished his sentence and went to serve the next gentleman. @ Declan_James was waiting patiently and Rodrigo told  Declan_James to follow him to his seat. He gave him a menu and he heard the bell ring again. This time, it was Gattz. 

"Pardon me sir, but while you take your time to tell me what you want to eat or drink, I will serve another customer as a new one just walked in." 

After a hard day's work, the chef, Louis, cleaned all the dirty dishes and stove tops, ovens and other things before leaving the kitchen area. He also had hung up his apron. He went to sit down at a booth and relax while Rodrigo was cleaning the remaining tables. He wiped the last one and went over to the bar and filled to mugs with Molson and used the trick Reason taught him. He went to sit with Louis to talk a little bit.

"So, how's the first day at work? You enjoying yourself?"

"Yeah, I always dreamed becoming a cook. This is a good place to start. Later, I might change and work for the big time restaurants, but for now, this is my place. How about you?"

"I love it here, to be honest. Everyone is nice and the boss is generous and very nice with us considering his line of work."

"He is, isn't he? Anyways, I hope this business will keep doing well because the pay is good and I need a job."

"Same here. Got any family?"

"If you're asking about wife and kids, yes. Well, no, actually. No kids, no wife. I have a woman at home though. And a dog. I consider them as family. I'm guessing you're too young to have any kids and marry?"

"Right you are on that, sir. I'm 23 and still kicking. I'm seeing someone, but it's not serious. I might leave this broad."

"Well, I would love to continue talking to you, but I need to leave. The bus is passing soon."

NEXT DAY

Rodrigo arrived first and then Louis. They said their hellos and their other greetings and started working again. 

After enjoying his meal Martiimus takes a few minutes to soak in the sights and relax a bit, before he decides it is time to leave on his way.

"Thank you for the meal, it was quite good I would recommend this place to anyone."

That day Sheldon was in Detroit finishing some jobs for his family

It was cold that day,someone would say freezing,so Sheldon decide to sit in some

local to drink something to warm him and if he found some good place maybe even to eat something

Sheldon asked some of his conection in DT about some good place and all of them says "the Canadian bacon"place

so there wasnt any more dilemas,Sheldon sit in his car and order to bodyguards to drive him there

in couple minutes one of his bodyguards says

"boss we are here,thats the place"

when Sheldon came out from car he saw very nice decorated place and he decide to came in

"Hello there,can I get something hot to drink maybe some tea and give me that famous Candaian bacon,

what else is good here?I m very hungry"

Rodrigo the waiter went over to Sheldon when he heard the doorbell ring. Another day at work and he still enjoyed it. He was being a waiter until he finished his degree in economics. He lived in a low rent apartment which made paying the bills a task rather than a problem. 

"Alright sir. Canadian Bacon and some tea. If you're very hungry, I would suggest to you either the moose steak which comes with a side platter of fries ir the Novia Scotia lobster which comes with vegetables and mashed potatoes. I'll go give your order to the chef so you can drink something and eat before the main platter. It'll feel like the waiting time flies by."

Rodrigo went over to the kitchen and told the chef Sheldon's order. He also told him to standby as he might order something else. 

Jaded had walked in out of the chilly night air. As she rubbed her hands together she looked around The Canadian Bacon. She had been here before and was delighted by the service and the food. It was no surprise that she found herself here once more. While the days were warm the nights were cold and she was a hungry woman.

Finding herself directed to a lovely table she sat down. She set her purse between her feet to ward off potential pickpockets and settled down to read the menu. It had been awhile since she was last here and needed an update on the food offered.

"I'd like your poutine please. A full plate. Two beaver tails. One topped with bananas and chocolate and the other with berries and whipped cream. As well as an apple juice please. "

She folded her hands on the table to wait. Soon she would end up tapping her fingers to a beat that only she could hear in her own head.

Landing the the city of Detroit, Armada looked around for some place to eat. He was hungry after his travels from Europe and was looking forward to getting stuck into things here.

"I guess I could go for Canadian" he thought as he walked into the Canadian Bacon.

Armada found a seat and picked up the menu as a waiter came over.

"I can recommend the lobster, sir."

Armada nodded in agreement to that and asked the waiter for a water to drink.

As the waiter turned and left, Armada looked out at the city streets, thinking about all the new possibilities being in the US could bring.

Honesty flew from Canada as he learned of his cousin's death. His heart was broken because as kids, his cousin Reason meant everything to him. He flew over to DT as his funerals were being held there. Once at the funeral, Reason's mother told Honesty that he had a will. The family sat down on a couch at the funeral home and Reason's mother started reading it, crying hysterically. Apparently, all of Reason's wealth went to his mother and both of his restaurants were left to Honesty. Honesty hadn't seen that one coming. It was such an unattended surprise and he was thrilled. Although he was pumped about his two new buildings, he knew he had a life in Canada and couldn't manage it with the on in Detroit an LA too. "While I'm in here, might as well stop at The Canadian Bacon. I'll have to find a manager." 

Honesty drove to The Canadian Bacon and saw that it was a nice establishment. While driving the streets of Detroit, he noticed some bullet-riddled homes and bodies on the street. He was scared to be honest. When he arrived at the restaurant, he saw that it was in tip-top shape and that the block where he was also wasn't touched. It seemed that whatever happened here wasn't affected. He walked in and saw a cook and a waiter serving someone. The waiter walked over to him and asked Honesty if he wanted a table. Honesty told Rodrigo who he was and what happened and where things stood as of now. Rodrigo seemed saddened learning about the fact that his employer passed away. Nonetheless, he was instructed to keep working. Rodrigo heard the doorbell ring and he walked over to the door, seeing a familiar face. He hasn't served this woman before, but saw Reason taking her order. JadedButterfly was being seated and Rodrigo took her order. 

"You food will be coming right up. It's nice to see a familiar face after the recent events." 

Rodrigo went to the kitchen and placed her order, all the while grabbing her apple juice. He went back over to Jaded's table and gave her her drink along with a newspaper he had picked up along the way.

"The food will be ready; it won't be long."

Ah, Canadian cuisine. Some of the best in the world, and this is the next best place outside of maple country, or so his uncle had said.

Looking at the menu on the table, Jakey thinks about what he might want. Nothing heavy, but something filling.

"Garçon, can I get a Molson and a short stack, butter and syrup?" He said to the man seeming to take orders. 

Rodrigo, after taking the food to JadedButterfly, went over to Armada. Armada asked for the lobster and some water. The waiter went to the kitchen and placed Armada's order. 

"Lobster plate with the usual mashed potatoes. A glass of water too, please." 

The cook fired up a pan and put oil in it. He dropped the fresh lobster and placed some butter on top of it. Steam was rising in the air and he turned around, filling up a glass of water. Rodrigo took it and headed over to Armada. 

"It won't be long, sir. If there is anything else, don't hesitate to ask."

Rodrigo heard the doorbell ring and turned around to see JakeySnakey. 

"I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I heard that Reason and your father used to know each other? May they rest in piece."

"Yes, they were. Who's in charge now?

"Honesty. He's Reason's cousin. He's in the back room checking inventory. He's leaving for LA to check on The Tasty Pastry. When I take my vacation, I might go over in LA and go there. Maybe have some fun in the casinos."

"That's nice. Do you think I can talk to him?"

"I'll drop your order and I'll go see if he has time."

Rodrigo went into the kitchen and told the chef to make a stack of pancakes. He then walked to the bar area and took out a mug. He filled it with Molson and remembered what Reason had said: "Cut the brew with a knife at the lip of the mug." He went in the storage room and told Honesty that someone wanted to see him. Rodrigo left and brought the beer to JakeySnakey. Honesty took a beer too and placed an order for a small poutine and pancakes. He took a seat next to Jakey and said:

"Pardon me, but do I know you?

"No, but your cousin and my dad did. He was SneakySnakey. They weren't the closest, but they knew each other and talked once in a while. Since my grandfather went to Lynchy's crew, they talked less as Honesty the first was in Archy's. I wanted to talk to you is all. I'm guessing you're from Canada too as your cousin was?"

"Yeah. I came here to see how the business is doing considering the recent war. I still have college and work so I can't take care of this place and the one in LA. I'm going to get a manager in both locations and if business is good, I might open another one."

"Time is the only thing we can't afford to lose and yet, we can't stop losing it. I understand that you can't manage this, the other business and life in Canada. I wish you luck."

"Thank you."

"How did you get the place?"

"It was his will. I mean in his will. All of his money and possessions were left to his mom, my aunt, except the businesses. They were left to me."

"That's great." 

"Looks like your food is ready and mine too. I have to leave after this to LA and check on that business. After, I have to decide a suitable manager. I might go back to Canada and then back here in another city to open another something. It'll take a while though. Mind if I eat with you?"

"Not at all."

Rodrigo brought the pancakes and the poutine. He took a maple syrup bottle, a new one, and spurted it on the pancakes. He also put a small cube of butter on the top which started to melt. He went back in the kitchen and got the second stack of pancakes for Honesty and did the same thing. He left the bottle of maple syrup in case they wanted more and brought a butter container for the same possible situation as he just thought of. Honesty and JakeySnakey indulged themselves in their food.
