“Tiana peered down in stunned delight at the sparkling white silk draping her body. The rhinestone- and pearl- studded gown she now wore was unlike anything she'd ever owned.
When she lifted her head, she gasped at her surroundings. Tiana twirled around in a slow circle, mesmerized by the glitz and glamour of a place she had only seen in her nightly dreams.
The old sugar mill she'd had her heart set on buying for years was no longer decrepit and falling apart. The floors gleamed underneath her feet, shining so bright they nearly blinded her. Brilliant crystal chandeliers hung high above her head, illuminating a massive dining room that was crowded with patrons. Men in suit jackets and women wearing their Sunday best sat at cloth-covered tables adorned with extravagant centerpieces and sparkling china. Everyone seemed to be having a grand time, enjoying rich, fragrant dishes that smelled like the food Tiana used to cook with her daddy.”

“Sardines have been considered a low-grade fish since the old days. Unlike sea bream, left-eyed flounder and sweetfish, they're never used in first-class restaurants.
They've always been used as fertilizer in the fields or food for fish farms. People treat them as the lowest fish there is."
"Hmm..."
"Recently the size of the sardine catch has decreased, so people have begun to value them. But the chef here has been making sardine dishes since back when people thought of them as worthless.
You could almost say the chef here...
... has staked his life on this fish.
This place may seem shabby compared to a luxurious ryōtei that takes pride in using expensive ingredients...
But the food here is sincere and earnest. This restaurant is far more attractive to me than the average first-class ryōtei.
It may look shabby, but his spirit is noble. That's because the chef believed in himself and created this place from scratch by his own effort.”
