This choice: -brought Mikayla next time to try and get her hooked on Cassy's cooking! • Go Back...Chapter #6Cassy's has Crab Cakes? by: Mr.Tones   "I swear to God Brooke if this is another book store you're dragging me too I'm-"
"For the last FUCKING time we're going to Cassy's, a new restaurant that just opened up!"
With every passing moment they spent in the same car Brooke became less and less sure about this little plan of hers. While they never liked it, one of the few things the Wider sisters agreed on was that if they were going to the same place they'd take one or the other's car instead of both driving separately. This time it had been Brooke's car and so she had to focus on both navigating back to Cassy's and suffering Mikayla's unyielding complaining.
"You keep saying that but I don't believe you! Not even your fat ass gets this excited and pushy over some random diner."
"It's not just "some random diner", I mean it when I say it has some of the best food you'll have had in this town in years."
"Whatever!"
Slouching even further in her seat the blond brat crossed her arms and looked out the window. Brooke huffed in response, annoyed once again at just how much like a child her sister could really be. It had been a week since Brooke had stumbled her way into the nook in a wall diner, having been debating on her half baked scheme the whole time, both unsure if she should or if she even could. "Should she" was answered by Mikayla's endless pranks and humiliating name calling, "could she" was still up in the air however. It was a clumsy plan at best, trying to get Mikayla hooked on a restaurant's cooking, and tipsy, angry Brooke hadn't really thought it through as well as sober, less angry Brooke. Still, at worst it doesn't work and she got to eat at Cassy’s again.
Arriving not too long after they pulled into a nearby parking lot only a few feet away from Cassy’s. Getting out the two rounded the corner and could see the diner in question. Looking it over as they walked closer Mikalay continued to be aggravated with the day so far.
“This is where you wanted us to go so badly? I know you said it was small but it’s practically tiny!”
“Then it’ll match your manners, now come on.”
Marching forth was Brooke while Mikayla lagged behind, but in a moment they were inside with the tune of the small bell behind them. The dining room was notably much more lively than it had been the night Brooke visited, not jam packed but a handful of tables had customers eating and chatting cheerfully. Happy to finally be here, the older Wider brought the younger up to the counter. Cassy herself unfortunately wasn’t there to greet them but rather an older gentleman who beamed at them warmly.
“Good evening ladies, how can I help you today?”
Brooke skimmed the menu, already having a pretty good idea of what she wanted to try this time while Mikayla looked it over with growing curiosity.
“Whoa Brooke, you didn’t tell me they had such a huge selection! There are like, four different styles of food here.”
“Indeed we do, Cassy wanted to try and cover as much area as she could instead of being another generic Mom N’ Pop burger joint. Every item on that menu she can personally make and has made sure to teach our cooks how to as well.”
“Well damn. I guess let me just get something simple this time, a Cassy’s double cheese burger meal, large, and with cola to drink.”
“And I’d like to get the crab cakes platter with curly fries for the side and sweet tea to drink please!”
“Alright, that’ll be $14.85!"
Paying the bill they were handed a number and they found a seat. Getting comfortable Mikayla gave the place a cursory examination, seeming to find it unimpressive if you had to guess by the look on her face.
"This looks like every other retro diner in the world, seriously I think I've seen that same signed baseball before."
"Its got its charm, and even still I'm sure you'll love the food."
"I better, unlike you I don't go coocoo every time I get a half decent burger."
"It was chicken piccata and it was amazing, and I think the crab cakes will be too. Now if you could stop bitching for five minutes maybe you can actually enjoy yourself a little. I paid for your meal anyway so at least shut up for that okay?"
"Fuck it, whatever. All I'm saying is that for how much you've been blabbering about this place I should be licking my plate clean by the end of this."
I hope you are too Brooke thought as they fell into a comfortable silence. Mikayla opted to pull out her phone and scroll through IG while Brooke preoccupied herself with whatever interesting bit of old paraphernalia she could see through the clear top of the table.
They thankfully didn't have to wait long as eventually their food was brought out to them by a young waitress. Mikayla's burger was large to say the least, two sizzling beef patties fresh from the grill each topped with a slice of all American cheese with a smattering of Cassy's very own secret sauce on the bottom bun, all topped with tomato, lettuce and a perfectly buttered and toasted top bun.
Both her's and Brooke's meals had crispy, salty curly fries, but only Brooke's had plump, juicy crab cakes. Packed with a hardy lump of crab meat and rolled in a golden cooked breading, generously seasoned with salt and pepper and with a side of tartar sauce for dipping.
Almost needing both hands to hold it Mikayla picked up her burger to admire it.
"I at least gotta admit, you get plenty of value for the price, this thing's huge!"
"Just wait until you actually start eating, it might not be picatta but if it's made with the same care as it that'll be one of the best damn burgers you've ever had."
Brooke took one of her crab cakes and gave it a big bite to punctuate her sentence and almost immediately fell in love. Just like before this crab cake beat the shit out of any other crab cake she could remember having. With a good number of them on her plate she didn't waste time savoring the first one and wolfed it down and moved onto the next.
As for Mikayla, she was still highly dubious of her cow of a sister's claim over how good the food was. She didn't think it would bad, but she couldn't understand Brooke's hype as anything more than her hedonism showing through. Still, free food's free food, so without further ado she bit into the sandwich.
Chewing it slowly to let the taste settle Mikayla was quite, contemplating the flavor before-   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
