♦ Topic: Saint Freya's Kitchen: A Good Place To Eat

In: Boards ► Places ► America ► Boston

Chubster (Original Poster) (Protectorate Los Angeles)

Posted On Apr 3rd 2011:

Posting this on a Sunday, so you guys can take your time reading this.

I'll get straight to the point:

The food? Fantastic. I'm led to believe that they've trained themselves extensively in cooking these dishes, because you can decide whether you want a specific ingredient added, removed, replaced etc.

If you have Allergies or Food Restrictions, they'll inform you if a dish can be altered to use Safe ingredients or not.

If you're on a Diet, there's an option to show Nutritional Data.

The prices are Affordable - we ordered some big dishes and the bill was much smaller than some restaurants I've been to, and their food weren't this excellent.

Now for some criticism, I do have a few:

You are Spoiled for Choice. The sheer breadth of options available can confuse you into picking an option that may not work well with what you're eating. It's also because of this that the Price is not set.

The menu can be Confusing, even after a few minutes. We're all used to the usual method of ordering food - a waiter/waitress stands to the side to write down your orders and be asked questions. In here, you're given Datapads, really expensive-looking technology just for ordering food.

The restaurant is actually rather Out of the Way. It's neither within the Local PRT or Accord's area of influence, but rather near Blasto's. For those not in the know, he's a Bio-Tinker, and while he does follow some really specific rules to stop a Kill Order from being signed on him, this doesn't mean that he's harmless.

So, any thoughts?

Thank you very much for your review!

We do apologize for the difficulty presented by our current system, but it's the most viable way to work with limited employees.

We will be hiring in a few months, after a lot of paperwork, and we aren't sure whether the current menu system will be replaced or not - we've been given praises for helping people avoid certain ingredients and such.

As for Blasto, please do not worry: he's also a regular customer, and he had promised that he won't deliberately target the restaurant. His creations are another matter though, which is why we have our guards at the entrance.

As someone who immediately went to eat on opening day, I will say that their pizza is top notch.

Let me give my own experience as an example: when I order pizza, they give me lots of options for toppings, sauce, cheese, how it's cooked, how much crust is in there, the works.

If your favorite topping is somehow not there, there's an empty text box for you to type it in. I haven' tried it yet, but I reckon that it'd take them a few hours up to a day to get those ingredients, who knows. I tried oysters on pizza and let them adjust the rest of the dish on their own, and it was good.

Just choosing between red and white pizza sauce is too general, and they'd default to what's generally considered "standard" red or white sauces: marinara and béchamel. You'll have to specify if you want margherita, pesto, alfredo, sour cream, sweet chili or even BBQ sauce, and they'll slather it on the dough.

Unless the cheese is unavailable for whatever reason, they can get you whatever you feel like eating, but warning for prices. Tried this expensive aged cheese once, cut my weekly budget in half. Tried blue cheese as well, it was great (though we use that as a buffalo dip anyway)

For those guys who have a preference for their pizza crust - whether it exists or not - you have nothing to worry about. You can specify if you want "sauce flowing over the sides" nonexistent crust or "enough crust to feed the pigeons" crust. You can also specify if you want your crust stuffed - mozzarella, cheddar, sausages, hotdogs? Again, they'll make it for you.

Do you want pan pizza, brick oven, deep dish, deep fried, baked or any other heating method? Well, I'm not sure if every option works, but I have tried the above.

Has anyone tried berry fruit pizza?

I've tried some dessert pizzas before, so I'm interested in going there to try some recipes I've thought up. Hey @Kuki, you interested?

Tried one with crab meat, peaches, cucumbers, fish roe and sesame dressing! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand a s'more pizza.

I think you're forgetting to tell them that you caused a mess within the throes of sugar rush YOU AIRHEAD.

Okaaaaaaaaay, moving on, let's talk about something else, like the crust.

I had ours stuffed with pizza filling. It was like eating pizza with a homemade pizza hot pocket.

Had mine with what I'd charitably call "bread rolls attached to pizza", and it's filled with ground Italian sausage.

@Antigone

What about pizza attached to pizza?

►Antigone

Replied On Apr 20th 2011:

@NestingDoll

That's still called a pizza, but it's a ☆party pizza☆. You can order an extra large one with four different toppings.

I tried that with my friends. Spoilers: if you're eating it by itself, even two slices are too much.

Combined with other food? Even one-half is difficult to swallow.

Note that this comment section started out with pizza, then started talking about stew, winter dishes, summer dishes, noodles, BBQ, dessert, ice cream, dessert pizzas, then pizzas again.

I love this thread.

♦ Topic: Cleaning The Bay (Locked Thread)

In: Boards ► Places ► America ► Brockton Bay

Bagrat (Original Poster) (Veteran Member) (The Guy in the Know)

Posted On Apr 16th 2011:

So! Hope everyone's having a fun time partying, because the clean up's going underway, and has been since the battles ended.

Work doesn't stop unfortunately, but at least it's made way more tolerable with people freely giving out food and drinks to workers passing by. What we can consider as generally fortunate is that everyone seems to be in an unofficial truce until the celebrations die down end.

Please remember to keep yourself hydrated and stay away from alcohol while on the clock.

Anyway, we're focusing on where these series of events leading to the S9's downfall started: Brockton Bay!

I'll edit my post to keep everyone up to date, but let's just say that right now, the most obvious damage has been taken care of: fires, broken glass, molten materials and any hazardous waste that may have been caused by the fight have all been fixed, removed, etc.

EDIT 4/18/2011: Saint Freya is helping the local Union "fix" the extremely run-down sections of the city, the ones formerly occupied by the ABB and the Merchants. TL;DR they're breaking everything down, and slowly putting up cheap, plain, but really well-done, sturdy housing that can fit up to five, if I estimate from the size. Seriously, they're using concrete as material. Concrete.

EDIT 4/19/2011: Spotted a ship getting dismantled by chance, and discovered that the Dockworkers Association (DWA) got paid the big bucks to clear out the bay, and the entire compound is getting a long-overdue rebuilding. Saw the paperwork from the local government and everything. Further investigation reveals that the trainyard is also getting rebuilt.

EDIT 4/20/2011: downtown, where the fight against the E88 happened, is completely fixed now. They're just waiting for the asphalt to dry, but aside from that, the place looks brand new. It's actually clashing with the surroundings, but that's normal for post-cape battles. They're also fixing the street lights everywhere, so we can expect the nights to be a lot brighter and hopefully safer.

If you're wondering why all the other comments were deleted, to give a short explanation: a flame war started, death threats started flying left and right, and it got to the point where we had to do a blanket wipe on the comments section.

The local authorities have been informed, and Saint Freya has been sending people out to patrol the streets and doing community service, but please be careful and ensure that you have a taser handy, or a pepper spray at least.
