"Hm", Gianni thought to himself.
"Empty as ever."

He takes a look out the window, where has a view over Bantam Harbour. Everything seems empty, quiet and unloved. "I wonder....if I could do anything better. This place has gone downhill, since I took over. All the cool kids go over to Discordia or however this new city is called and the old or uncool kids don't really come around here anymore either. Maybe some new colours for the bar?
Well....Wouldn't make too much sense, if no one comes by....
Maybe a new dish! The grill we bought a few years ago shouldn't look as nice as it does right now anymore...Hm..."

He went away from the window and moved behind the bar. He started up the grill's gas, so he could ignite a flame on the stove top.
"Let me get a patty..."

A sizzle started to go around the room and the smell of fresh ground beef has taken over the vicinity.
"While this is getting cooked, I can cut some salad and cheese", he thought to himself and did so too. Even without customers, he made sure, that there were only fresh quality products available at all times, so he could get something to any potential guest at any given time.
When he was at the refrigerator to get the cheese, he also remembered to take out the bacon, which will soon lay next to patties on the grill.

A chopping sound and the crisp of fresh salad leaves filled the room, as he prepared everything for the assemblance of the burger.
"And don't forget the buns! A little bit toasted on the inside...", he said to himself. Some ketchup, some BBQ-sauce and he felt like having some aioli today too.
The aioli was put on the top bun, the other sauces on the bottom. The patty, salad and bacon would finalise this very easy version of a good burger.

"Here you go!", he said. He used his catch phrase for the customers also, when he was serving himself something. "Thanks", he answered to himself and let the donation box jingle, as he put a drama llama in there. In a next step he'd fill himself a glass of coke zero, before he realised, he didn't have any fries. What a bummer, but today it will be okay. "I'm not so hungry anyway", he thought to himself. "Also, I'll probably make myself another one and then I will remember the fries".

Gianni sat down, took the burger into his hands and took a big bite. Mmmmhhh. "Awesomesauce", he mumbled and eventually he was happy again. Sometimes you just need some good soul food.
