Built by Muhammad Singh after saving up money for years and years, the Delhi Delight was born. Following Gordon's inital scathing review, several changes have been made. The first is in the staff. Namely, Delhi Delight has actual hired staff, rather than simply picking up one of the many beggars that roam the streets of India and offering them 10 rupees for service. Food quality has shot up as a result, but in order to afford this change, Singh has had to increase prices to keep up. The warehouse he has bought has finally completed renovations, and the resulting look is - well, not sharp, or exotic, or as classy as hoped, but it looks somewhat like a restaurant, and not like a soulless place to unload objects. Advertising has also improved. Those beggars that used to be hired as staff have now been promised left overs from the restaurant if they distribute flyers for this place. The menu and the small seating space of the restaurant has not been changed, because paneer is cheap and easy to make, while Muhammed wants to wait for all his current seating to be filled before making ambitious plans for more tables.

[I'm assuming this is the first ten points we get at start?]

In a recent press release, Cantina Sunrise has announced that they will no longer be partnering with local Chipotles in their supply chain. Although they will continue sharing information, the local Tex-Mex restaurant will now build it's own supply chain and hopefully cut back on the raising rates of food poisoning.

FOOD QUALITY 1 + 7 = 8
Although still young and looking for suppliers and talent, Cantina Sunrise believes in top quality produce, to quality preparation, and top quality burristas.

APPEARANCE 1 + 2 = 3
Cantina Sunrise does it's best to look tip top shape, but overall ends up looking more messily homely than pristine.

ADVERTISING 1 + 0 = 1
Cantina Sunrise relies entirely on word-of-mouth buzz.

SIZE 1 + 1 = 2
Cantina Sunrise has a small renovated location with mostly outdoor/public seating, having only recently graduated from curbside selling straight from his apartment's kitchen.

PRICE 1 + 0 = 1
Somehow, Cantina Sunrise has been unable to raise prices above $2 despite high cost and quality of ingredients.

We actually don't lose money here at the Whale's Gullet since we source our fish from the local docks (neighboring sushi restaurant dumpster), but far be it for us to leave the fish unprepared. We take care to trim unneeded bits (bite marks from people and/or cats) to ensure the best looking dish possible.

We keep our menu sparse as night-to-night we cannot guarantee what our supply will be like. All high-end seafood establishments have this problem as when our sales guy goes out to talk to the fish mongers (cats behind sushi place), sometimes, their price is too high due to what the fishermen bring in (busboys taking out trash). Our guy spends quite some time haggling (chasing with broom) the fish mongers (cats) just to get the best prices (less scratched up and angry sales guy).

Advertising is a bit sparse as we try not to attract the health department's attention. They're all about regulations and such. Really hard to be a good entrepreneur when the government keeps harassing you. We are strong supporters of deregulating the food service industry.

To ensure that high quality, we price our food a bit high so that everyone knows that this is THE place to eat. Just like how fancy cars and jewelry are over priced so that everyone knows that you are important because you can afford them.

To maintain that importance, we spend a good amount of time keeping the place neat and clean (lots of air fresheners to keep the smell of slightly old fish away).

Food Quality 20 - NINE LIVES COOKING WORKS

Appearance 1 - They moved to a new location, although it used to be a dodgy Chinese restaurant so the appearance isn't that great.

Advertising 1 - Word of mouth, who needs ads when you have swords?

Menu/Restaurant Size 2 - The restaurant is bigger so they can cook more things. Hooray! The improvement is damped a bit now that they have an angry psychopathic priest protesting outside 24/7 at the closure of his favourite restaurant

Price 1 - Shirou tries to keep his food cheap and affordable without compromising its tastiness. In the world of Gordon Ramsy, this is a rookie mistake.

Also as Ramsy wasn't impressed with the Unlimited Bake Works, we are making a new dish!

Two long pieces of tuna cut into beautiful sushi, one covered in black crumbs and the other in white crumbs as a representation of ying and yang.

Right everyone, welcome back to GordIOT. Last time we spoke, there were some issues to overcome, quite a few in fact. Let's take a look and see what's new and who's going home, shall we? Most of you have made some logical improvements, but not all.

Looking into the kitchen of Emiya Kitchen, chef and restaurant namesake Shirou Emiya is making some questionable choices. Now, when I went in there the food was half decent, much of it coming from the fact they're making their own bloody recipes now. Most other aspects, however, were horrendous. The entire establishment could hardly fit a family of four, and it took hours to get there based on the lack of advertisement. However, the prices are dirt cheap, which could come to save them in the end.

Another restaurant that gave me some trouble last time was Sichuanese hole in the wall Hot Pot Heroes. They seemed to have stepped up their food quality, after taking the hint that frozen food was not nearly close to the industry standard. Their hot pot soup is nice and tender, however they are lacking in many other departments.

Paw's Brisket seems to have made very general improvements since we last saw them, with raised prices while still keeping their restaurant small. Too small in fact, as long lines and crowdedness seem to be deterring customers. And while the food has improved, it has a long way to go before it can compete with the top barbecue joints around.

Over at chef von Nuka-tan's Steakhouse, things are shaky at best. While the food is improving, with their signature porterhouse receiving a new recipe for the rub, other points are lacking. Their advertising is next to nothing, and the restaurant is a step up from a flat's living room, which is the most important part of a steakhouse. You gotta have people coming in, and unfortunately The Baron's Steakhouse can't hold its' customers.

Chef Sumde's restaurant was staying afloat based on gimmicks and appearance when we first saw it, and luckily it has improved since then. While INFECTED! is still infected with gimmicks, their food quality has improved and the price has gone up to fit it, and while it might still be a zombie-filled establishment, it markets to its' clientele well.

No one likes low quality sushi, and Junko Okawa's Shinobi no Resutoran had a wishy-washy reception when they opened their doors, they've certainly improved. Their increase in food quality has especially helped their Funa-zushi, which relies on the care taken while fermenting the delicate carp. However, they still lack a good base of advertisements and must expand soon if they are going to keep doing well.

A latecomer to the business, Guru Gurra's All You Can Eat Fruititarian is a very niche restaurant , but has managed to draw in the right clientele with a mix of decent food quality, broad advertising, and steady prices. However, like many other up and coming eateries, it still struggles with size and overcrowding.

Chef Bombshoo's restaurant, simply called "post", doesn't hold a candle to any other restaurants in the competition in any of the categories. It instead thrives off of hipsters and non-returning customers with its' modern recreation of the Seuss classic Green Eggs and Ham.

Looking at a more put together, home-grown establishment, Skeletoni's Italian Eatery has gained a reputation for having affordable, high quality food with a dining room fit for many an American family. When asked what he believed contributed to his success, Chef KaiserElectric simply answered "It's the power of spaghetti!"

If anyone in this competition was a culinary peer to Skeletoni's, it is Cantina Sunrise, the brainchild of Chef "El Terrance". Good quality food with a unique twist has proved to be the ticket to success for Cantina Sunrise, providing an experience that leads its customers to tell all their friends. Since we last saw them, they've released a "Quesarito Sushi Platter", which has been met with varying success.

Chef Jackelgull's Delhi Delights has dominated the Indian cuisine market, with traditional recipes and standards occupying the menu. The recent overhaul of staff has helped their business tremendously, with unique methods of advertisement catching the public's eye. However, Delhi Delights has hit its' maximum occupancy and must expand soon if it is to remain in business.

Last but most certainly not least we have The Whale's Gullet. Owner Tux claims that their success comes from their high prices and fancy appearance. While this may be the case, the universal problem of size isn't a stranger to The Whale's Gullet. The clientele is there, but they have nowhere to sit.



Unfortunately, the reason you're all here is to win and for someone to win, there must be losers. It was a close first round, but the contestant going home this round is... AA's Paw's. Sorry Paw, but your time is up. Alright everyone, your available points for improvement are listed in the stats below. Remember, extra points are allotted for RP!

INFECTED! is and always has been for a fairly niche audience, but considering the popularity of zombie culture in the last decade or so, this audience has expanded to even include families and old ladies, and as such we realize our decor needs some fine tuning.

Our custodial staff now will actually mop up the messes instead of leaving them to seem aesthetic; though our theme remains, the restaurant will now be somewhat cleaner and more accessible to a family vibe. Additionally, we've added some more items to the menu and upped the price a bit on our existing items. Some of the more violent displays have been moved to a new 21+ back room we added where there's a bar, and the space they left has been filled with more family seating. There's also a few more arcade games to keep kids occupied while they wait.

Point Distribution:

Food Quality: 8 + 3 = 11

We have continued to expand our distribution network. Foodie blogger Seamus Stoner is aiding us in our quest, food tripping everywhere from Wisconsin (for decadent cheeses) to Mexico (for delicious peppers) in search of the best ingredients and suppliers.

Appearance : 3 + 0 = 3

We decided our homey style is currently more an advantage than disadvantage. Our continued expansion leaves little time for rebranding.

Advertising: 1 + 1 = 2

With Seamus Stoner becoming an associate of our executive team, his locally famous foodie blog "Shameless Seamus" has proven to be a great asset on the advertising department. Although not universally positive on our items, his honestly has proven

Not only have we convinced our local lot owner to let us acquire the rest of his property in our lease (gaining us a 2nd story and, especially, a cool cellar for cheese storage and future bar placement), but we have also licensed a food truck serving fresh Cantina Sunrise Quick Lunch items.

Price: 1 + 2 = 3

With the increasing quality and quantity of food and service, we have clearly demarcated our premium items and gave them higher prices. Our new "Quick Lunch" menu still provides excellent and yet affordable cuisine in our gourmet tex-mex style.

Shameless has also begun pioneering various "Secret Menu" items, in what is quickly becoming known as "Seamus' Shameless Secrets". Some buzz have come out of monstrosities called the "Six Layer Deep Fried Quesadilla Ice Cream Cheese Cake" or the "Straight Shot Taquito Tequilla Surprise". However, El Terrance has not officially released any of these leaked menu items as of yet.
