CIS Gossip Year 23 Volume 02 – Local Surf and Turf Aims for the Stars

Local Political Leader Cashing in on Business Opportunity

An entrepreneur known as Mr Shenron has begun the process of establishing a chain of restaurants recently called the Curling Crab in the Kalarba System.  Advertising it as a delicatessen of fine and exotic dishes for the hardiest of space farers, the chain will fill a niche for both local residents and travelers alike with a taste for the unique.  While the menu claims to have “something for everyone”, some of the menu is dedicated to delicacies found only on Leritor, the homeworld of the shelled Sauvax people.

After the profitability of a local startup in the Cularin System, Mr Shenron quickly became enamored by the profits and sought to expand his operations as a result of his restaurants popularity, sending out his vast acquisition fleet to ensure a steady supply of good priced ingredients from throughout the galactic north flowed into his burgeoning chain.

One expert who refused to be identified said that it was “A smart move to properly maximize the acquired assets with minimal scrutiny from anyone but the health department.” but refused to explain further.  Mr Shenron has assured us in response to this that no health department scrutiny has ever become an issue and that the so-called expert is no doubt a malfunctioning droid which was delivered into an oil bath to refresh.  Others have raised concerns that Mr. Shenron could be “cutting corners” with his vast expansion plan, but he again assures us that all necessary steps and paperwork have been completed for the expansion plans.  

After visiting the original location, one local critic responded with a post on social media; “Holy Kelpcakes!  This stuff is good!”.  He failed to further elaborate what dish he had tried but seemed thrilled, giving it 4 out of 5 thumbs up.  Some of the local population of Nautolan have been thrilled by the variety of vegan dishes, even if they are deep fried.
