"Perhaps early in the morning? We wouldn't want to be in the way of your work schedule."

"Early tomorrow sounds great," Ms. Snelpucker says. "Is 7 AM too early?"

"No, that should be fine," you say. "We'll come by, look around, and hopefully I'll have an update on the money."

"Okay, then," she says. "We'll meet there around 7."

The waiter returns with your order of dinner for three and you thank him as he sets it down. Barbecue pork chow mein, chicken fried rice, sweet & sour pork, broccoli chicken and six egg rolls, plenty for all of you.

You and Raven use chopsticks to bring chow mein and pieces of pork and chicken to your plate, and of course use a spoon on the rice, but Ms. Snelpucker uses a for and spoon. Odd, since this was her choice of restaurant, but to each their own.

You dig in, starting with the sweet & sour pork. Very good sauce, and the pork is fairly tender. The pieces are a nice size, too.

The barbecue pork chow mein is an interesting choice, as chicken is the go-to ingredient. But the noodles seem just as savory and greasy as usual, as are the vegetables mixed in. The pork that's in the noodles is good. It's about the same quality as the sweet & sour pork in tenderness, but it seems a little dry without sauce.

In the broccoli chicken, the broccoli is soft, the chicken tender, and both salty from the seasoning. Could be a bit hotter, though. Maybe the broccoli chicken was made before the other dishes and hasn't been moving as fast. Then with the chicken fried rice, with peas, carrots and scrambled eggs mixed in, it's good, but starting to dry out. Similar problem with the broccoli chicken perhaps.

That's actually a good thing to think about for your own restaurant's food. If you have ready-made dishes, there's the problem of freshness not lasting. You can't just use magic to keep freshness going, but you'll have to research what dishes keep the best.

You almost forget about the egg rolls. The ladies have already taken their two each so you get the last two. The egg rolls look to be where Jump City Chinese Cuisine excels, with a flaky and crisp outside that isn't greasy, and properly cooked ingredients inside, from the carrots to the green onions, and even more pork. This dinner for three is practically a pork dinner platter.

After finishing up the meal, you double check the menu and see there is no dessert section. Seems a shame, but that's their choice.
