I mean, you could go full on yellow and do a magic school bus theme with the pictures, you could go dmv, top gear, or even chuck-e-cheese knockoff. Like, the whole restraunt screams 'hot wheels restaurant for kids with arcades and activities' I look at it and I think 'kids menu' and 'toy story pizza palace'. It looks like a family restaurant for families with young boys.

Erm, um, *cough* *cough*, uh, *tugs collar* OK so that's also something we can use. It's not actually a floor decoration, it's a stage for performances. I don't think we have any performers lined up who can use a stage that large, but that doesn't have to stop us from putting it in our restaurant. The only problem is that it takes up a good 50% of the floor space of whichever floor we place it on, so if we add that as well as the traffic cones, signs etc., there probably won't be any room for, y'know, tables. That's why I removed it immediately, but we're making plenty of money now, so we could easily devote an entire floor to a little race course.

It does have a Pizza Planet vibe going on, now that I think about it. Which makes it even odder that it's actually a fine dining German restaurant.

Sauerbraten is the food of the gods, that what it is! My Oma makes it twice a year (Easter and Christmas, and occasionally for very special occasions). Properly done it takes several days to prepare and make because the meat it supposed to spend that long in a vinegar/wine marinade. In some regions they put raisins in there, but no variation that I know of adds cookies*. In my region it goes with Spätzle as well as something sweet (in my family it's pears and lingonberries) to offset the marinade's sourness. Re: the updates: Holy poo poo, a F1-themed restaurant!  Holy poo poo, the cheating side story wasn't a fakeout!  * fake edit: I just looked it up, apparently a German restaurant in NYC popularised a variety of Sauerbraten where gingersnap cookie crumbs are added to the gravy. I don't think this exists outside of the US, though

Holy crap, someone with enough common sense to break off the affair. Mad props to you, Michele. I actually like how that went. Now to see how the 'reconciliation' thing goes with Delia. Also. Wow. That restaurant is...uh...something.  Good thing it's profitable, or going to be, 'cause almost a mil in debt? Time to grab a shovel and start digging. At least the recipe research is paying off, right?And my vote is for a full yellow theme: CCC If we're gonna do a race car theme, we're gonna do it right. (and by right I mean awfully, but hey.)

CCC for the first floor, which should be set up like a DMV. FAD for the second floor, where the REAL DRIVERS get to sit. Bottom floor should have pictures of weirdass slow cars (like a Reliant Robin) and top floor should be ridiculous concept cars (like the Ferrari Modulo) Also, credit to Michele for breaking things off.

I thought I was in the right mindset that I wouldn't be shocked when I saw what the new restaurant theme was. I was wrong. Klaus still continues to be the hero this update, taking advantage of Armand's self-inflicted emotionally vulnerable state to manipulate him into being the cash and connections for a crazy million dollar gimmick restaurant. Anyway, I don't care what else we do, I just want those Tonka Truck seats. So I'm voting C (Seats), C (Seats), C (Seats).

But anyway - when I saw our new restaurant I honest to god though it was a subway station theme until I noticed the car hanging on the wall. Not a great first impression. Also, the game allows you to seat your patrons in wheelchairs... seriously. Regardless of what decor wins we can only have wheelchair seating in the restaurant. It doesn't get any more tasteless than that.

CAC Also, there was a thought in the back of my mind after the cheating and losing the game show, and generally Armand being a poo poo, that the game would switch over to Delia and we would play her rise to fame as she takes over and conquers Armand's Resturant Empire, but I guess the game won't be doing that

It would have been a neat way to use the original cast and make it interesting, and then Armand could even have had a redemption arc after commiserating with his uncle (who IIRC had a long term affair behind the back of his own wife going on).

Michele's dialogue really implied she didn't know at first Armand was married, and only found out through other sources. But yeah, there's a real lack of reflection there, just Armand whining about how bad things are without acknowledging that any of it was his fault. ...actually, did Armand actually tell anyone he was taking a work vacation? Is Delia at their house worried sick - or preparing to file divorce in absentia (assuming he just ran off with his mistress) because Armand hasn't come home in weeks?

I'm surprised the cheating plotline didn't really go anywhere more dramatic, but I suppose they felt some small need to avoid giving Delia a reason to completely drop Armand, what with the definitely baby hint earlier.Robindaybird posted:...actually, did Armand actually tell anyone he was taking a work vacation?
