All That You Imagine

My imaginary restaurant will be named “All That You Imagine.” Any food you can imagine, you will be served. Thanks to technology and a world-class cooking staff, I can offer my patrons any food that they desire. However, they must book their table three days in advance! If their wish is for a dish like their mama used to cook, they need only provide my chefs with the recipe or its description. If their palate leans to the exotic, they need only give its name. My research team, like no other, can track down any foreign dish. From All-American delights like mac‘n cheese or burgers and fries to all the others: Indian, Mexican, Brazilian, Chinese, Italian, French, and the list goes on and on. We can do it all! Everyone wants to come here! By the way, my restaurant has become a tourist attraction. Renowned for its varied and eclectic menus, it is visited by thousands daily. If restaurants were malls, mine would be the largest and the most incredible. Patrons may reserve a private room or choose a table from one of many wondrous atmospheric sections. Each section is a restaurant in and of itself, with its own kitchen and a staff of waiters and waitresses dressed as befitting that section’s theme. From jungle room to bar and grill to futurist (where servers dress in pristine white), I have over one hundred types of settings to match the mood and the type of food; some with karaoke, some with splendid views, utilizing IMAX, for example, some with magic shows, others with comedy, and one room with a waterfall where divers perform amazing feats. There are classic sections where patrons may dance in ballroom style; imagine any type of music you like, I am sure we have it in one of our beautiful sections! For the romantics, candlelight dinners can be enjoyed next to a faux River Seine. Tourists, for a small fee, may observe the many rooms in a guided tour. We use technology that allows the tours to not disturb our diners. It’s that same technology which allows my restaurant to flourish, for expert computer techs arrange for the smooth operation of matching patrons to sections and coordinating everything efficiently. Favorite recipes may be purchased from us too in our gift shops. Souvenirs and samples of our most popular food items are sold there along with a wide array of unique gifts! Nothing is impossible in “All That You Imagine.” Well, except for one thing: No endangered specie, such as monkey or koala will be served here! (Getting ready to enter the contest I noticed I had misread the rules. Sorry, I don't know if I can redo it any other way. I am calling this prose and hoping it's acceptable!)

Congratulations Andrea on your placement. Call it whatever you want, just call me in time to eat. I went to China once and we ate actual Chinese food. We bought some from a street vendor. Didn't want to know what it was but it was delicious.

How, ironic. We have this exact restaurant here in Ontario. What are the odds? Good luck in the contest. A tough topic to say the least. Considering its limits you did an excellent job.

A smorgasbord of Disney like culinary wonders Andrea. I hope it doesn't turn into another "Future World" adventure.
