The Salad Bar

[wowzewow]

So the other day I finally was face-to-face with an actual salad bar. I don't know why I haven't actually been to one all this time, but that's besides the point. Hey, this is fun, I thought. People ask, soup or salad. Well I made a super salad. I rather...*specially* combined everything. Every sauce, every oil. I came back with a plate of vegetables. It was pretty good actually. Well, it tasted like the inside of a Subway (the crappy sandwich fast food chain) but I guess I'm more healthy now.

 

 

Basically, add a little alcove for the Hydroponicist to lay out their vegetables and whatnot. Should probably add in some bins, trays, salad tongs too. And maybe some sauces like Thousand Island and Italian vinagarette or whatever. Makes their lives a lot less dependent on chef. Hell, doesn't need to be a salad bar. Can be a lemonade stand, a vegetable store, whatever.

Liking this a lot.....

Can we potentially upgrade this to a full buffet that the chef can contribute some options to? Some taco-seasoned ground beef, some fried chicken, etc.

While a buffet sounds cool it kind of isolates the chef. Interacting with people is kind of THE RP source for chefs. Maybe as an addition/alternative? Problem is the space down there is very limited (painful memories of my kitchen remodel) so I am not sure where to put this.

I'd personally open up the garden to the kitchen front, something like the above

i agree. not a fan of having hydroponics compete with the kitchen.

-

if one wants a salad bar, consider asking the kitchen to serve it for them. otherwise, hydroponics already has 2 tiles in front of their window to put a table, or they can use the table in the public garden.

The crux of the issue is that hydroponics is entirely dependent on the Kitchen for any roleplay whatsoever. Which is bad.

It's also bad faith to believe that it will take away RP from the chef, which it shouldn't - it's at most going to be an extension of the kitchen.

The same argument could be said about the bar, but the matter of the fact is that it's all going to be localised into one area anyway, and they all have their own specialites to justify their existence. You aren't going to see the hydroponicist cooking food, nor the bartender mixing up drinks, usually.

Tables in front of the window or public garden are fixed to the issue, sure, but it's all the more reason to officiate it.

Traitor chef and traitor hydroponicist escalating a war over customers, the hydro refusing to supply fresh vegetables, the chef glorifying meat and pastries instead.

I think it might add some interesting interaction between them to have some "competition" ..even if it is friendly xD
