The General's Steakhouse

The General's Steakhouse is a location in the Cranberry Bog region of Appalachia.

Background
The General's Steakhouse was one of the most popular culinary destinations in Appalachia, offering "down home Southern fare," to its clientele, who were mostly made up of staff from the RobCo Research Center. Due to this, restaurant employees were instructed to give them special consideration when they came in. At some point prior to the Great War, the owner was forced to change the menu, adapting due to shortages of quality beef. Despite this, the restaurant continued to advertise that its steaks were made with 96 percent beef. After the bombs fell, it was converted into a soup kitchen, offering food to refugees, though Silas left due to conflicting personal interests, leaving Milo to run the place alone.

Shortly after Silas left, the establishment fell into disrepair, and became the home of a large group of feral ghouls. It was at this time that Glen Ramos, the post-apocalyptic food critic visited the establishment. Although he had visited prior to the apocalypse and enjoyed it immensely, he found the regular diners from RobCo to be unpleasant. He notes that the ferals make a much more pleasant, less pompous crowd, despite their shriveled appearance and ravenous lust for his flesh. Even post-War, the steakhouse was a four star eating experience.

Later, on March 16th, 2096, the abandoned building became host to a Free States scout, who sought shelter there from the Scorched after their search party - who were looking into the Brotherhood of Steel distress signal - had to split up to return the information back to base.

Prior to the war, they sent out an advertising Protectron chock-full of free samples, one per customer
