Lord's Rest Inn

Quote from Jobah619Official >>

Quote from Baalzeboop >>

 "Honkachu. It's a little volcanic island somewhere down south. Very, very far south. We use geothermal magic just to survive, but we've learned to thrive through cooperation and acceptance. Unfortunately, we've stagnated over the past couple hundred years. A perfect world doesn't need to be improved, right? Wrong. The world outside is constantly coming up with new ways to hurt everything, and Honkachu keeps getting caught in the crossfire. We don't understand war. It's never been part of our culture. We don't even have violent sports."

*The lore you make never fails to astound me dude*

“Well that sounds pretty unpleasant. What’s the rest of your world like?”

 *Really? I thought it was pretty bland. I must really need to appreciate my work more.*

"No clue. Honkachu is very, very isolated. They don't like new things, because they always hurt. I love new things, though. I love the awful and outre, and I want to combine it with the soft and loving. Monster cuisine, my man! It's the best thing this side of the multiverse! The term 'monster' encompasses just about everything, and I want to try all of them! I've mastered dosing poisons (when I can identify the poison, that mushroom was not my best work) so that my food can be edible while made of, I don't know, oozes and demons. Everything can be eaten, and I don't give a good damn whether it's 'for everyone' or not! But they should at least try it! They don't have to like it, but when you refuse to value 95% of what this world has to offer, you're just waiting for an ecological disaster!"

Mauric smiles. “I like your philosophy. I know for a fact you’re gonna go beyond any standard the culinary world has ever set.”

 Felix smiles back. "I love my work, but you can't prove that I'm good, only that my work is to your tastes. I personally don't believe in good or bad art. It's all in the eye of the beholder. If a painter makes a single black stroke on a canvas and someone finds meaning and power in that, they are fully within their right to hang it up in a museum or something. I dunno what people do with paintings. Anyway, mass appeal is not my goal, just making little special experiences that fit my target audience's tastes to a tee. Imagine you walk into a fancy restaurant and they designed the menu just for you, and the room you dine in is prepared similarly. A memory to keep after the plate is clean. A time you were loved and coddled by some dark force. Something that knows you and will be right there when you come back for seconds. That is my dream. It may sound completely insane, but it's what I want to do."

“Doesn’t sound insane to me. And you’re right about subjectivity. But personally, I feel like some things do have intrinsic value.”

 "I mean, yeah, but not in art. Usually. Some ingredients are inherently better than others. If you have an amateur chef with caviar and A5 wagyu, I seriously think he'll beat the master with dirt and feces. Once you reach a high enough level of cuisine, you reach some insane ingredients that just blow everything else out of the water, and while I don't like it, I can't deny that it is the case. I've worked with some of said insane ingredients, and they're all... just, completely out there. It's not even funny sometimes how good they are."
