Core Cafe
The Core Cafe has somewhat of an elaborate backstory, and this post will also include a sample menu.
Backstory
The year? 1867. The time? Noon. The cafe is set at a perfect view of the Center of the Earth. Now, this cafe didn't all of the sudden appear. No, this place has had a long history.
Jregon Cooper, aged 64. His money incorporates this restaurant. Jregon, being a sucker for food, decided to make this one restaurant that customers would eat and pay.
Construction beginning in 1865, this was the perfect place to build. Jregon was determined to have 3 areas; The Terrace, The View, and The Kitchen.
The Terrace, as it's called, takes place at the entrance of the restaurant which is underground. The only view you'll get is the sun. Jregon had quoted, and as you see on the plaque, "The View will not only have a sun, it'll have a life," and this place does have it. The dirt is alive with insects and bugs. The tables shake when earthquakes take place.
The View is the best area. Having a view of the coaster, this area is perfect for cameras, when they're invented that is. Here, the floor is rock and so are the tables. This area is the most fragile, as any second, the floor could crumble, having the guests really pay for their lunch.
The Kitchen is only a 6-table, reservation only area with views of the chefs. Jregon made sure to only hire the best of the best chefs. The tables are themed to 1860s dining rooms (wood).
The tragedy of this story is in 1867. Opening day, noon. Jregon Cooper, beginning to dedicate, is struck with a heart failure. Jregon had no previous injuries or diseases. Soon after the incident, Jregon was proposed dead.
Back at the restaurant, customers were in shock. Waiters started their shifts mournfully and the day went on. At one time during the day, a waiter claimed to find a will. The only thing on it was, "Let it go." with the meaning unknown. "It" was referred to the restaurant from then on, until 1895.
1895 was the year that every original day waiter left, leaving the restaurant to stay open and die. Cobwebs covered the area, the restaurant was truly dying. When the year 1900 came around, Jacob Breaker, who also ran the Hotel Francisco (coming later), vowed to bring the restaurant back from the dead.
At $50,000, Jacob would redo the whole restaurant, taking cobwebs out, making more theme to it, and hiring the best staff. The transition started in 1902, until 1903, when Jacob Breaker unexpectedly died that year at 56 years old.
After many years, the restaurant rotted, and customers dwindled down. The deaths were so tragic, but all was unknown. What guests and Jregon didn't know was that a horrible monster was cursed to the mountain and the land the restaurant sat on, and that's how both died.
Finally, in 1992, it was discovered about the deaths. The word was out, there was even a reward for killing the monster. The monster, however, died 3 years back, and the curse was broken.
Today, the restaurant is covered in cobwebs again, with guests loving the scenery.
