“Better wolf that stuff down while it’s hot, buddy!” She warns with mock sternness in her voice, “I wanna see a clean plate, y’hear?”
Yes m’am! Bringing the burger into <span class="mu-s">CHOMPING RANGE,</span> you take a big bite a-
<span class="mu-i">Oh</span>.
“Well?” She asks, cocking her head to the side expectantly!
<span class="mu-i">Madonn</span>...
It’s… it’s incredible. The English language just… it doesn’t do it justice! The onions practically melt in your mouth! The lettuce and tomatoes are crisp, but don’t interfere with the bite! And the <span class="mu-i">sauce</span>! How the hell does it manage to not splatter out of the other end of the burger!?
And then there’s the meat itself–caked in two layers of melting cheese, the meat is a symphony of flavors all over the spectrum! The salt, pepper, and herbs all come together in perfect equilibrium! It’s Nirvana for your tastebuds!

Th-this, you stammer, thankfully still too spellbound by the food to stare at her chest, this is <span class="mu-s">INCREDIBLE!</span>
“Well it’s kind of ya to say so!” The girl replies with a toothy grin! “It’s no fine Italian Cuisine, of course, but I like to stick to my guns…”
You take a moment to recover from the bite before daring to do anything else. Vivian returns to her flipping, but not before giving you another wink. Scanning the room again, you just barely catch Pepper shooting you a sideways glance from her spot by the door!
Well you’ve got some food, so…
