Sweet and Savory

The Gourmet Era, what a time for chefs and food lovers alike to be alive! In a world filled to the brim with exotic foods and culinary geniuses, every dining experience is it's own adventure. Whether you're a gourmet hunter, capturing rare ingredients or a chef with aspirations of becoming one of the top hundred chefs in the world. Every bite is a unique experience, with those willing to go the extra mile either being rewarded with mouth watering creations or dying for their passion. So where do our protagonists fit into this world?

"Tsuna! Shizuka! Breakfast is ready!" A woman's voice says cheerfully, the smell of honey cooked ham and pancake batter filling the small house. Nana gave a content smile when she heard her children scrambling to get down the stairs. One was a boy with spiky brown hair and chocolate brown eyes, trying not to get run over by his energetic sister. His sister had long hair that was a slightly darker brown than her brother's and icy blue eyes. "Coming!" They both yelled in unison.

Shizuka made it down the stairs first, piling her plate high with fresh pancakes. With her eyes glinting with excitement and barely holding back her drool, she devoured her breakfast. "That's not eating Shizuka, you're inhaling it all." Tsuna says bluntly, Shizuka looked up for a moment and stuck her tongue out. "I can't help it, mom spoils us with her cooking." Tsuna ate at a slower pace, choosing to actually savor the flavors. Nana chuckled.

"That's the difference between a chef and a hunter Tsuna. We actually taste our work while your father and sister just want the calories." Nana teased. Shizuka groaned. "Please don't compare me to dad. He keeps calling me Pancake instead of my name and brother Tsuna-fishy. Food is on that man's mind all the time!"

Iemitsu Sawada was one of the few Gourmet Hunters that could be compared to the Four Heavenly Kings when it came to strength. He worked for Vongola, a company that was founded by one of their ancestors and recently branched into the food market when the Gourmet Era began. He was often away from home, bringing back ingredients for Nana to use in her restaurant. Tsuna acted as her sous chef, specializing in savory foods. Shizuka was a gifted patissier but couldn't cook a protein to save her life, often turning meat into charcoal.

Unlike restaurants with backing from IGO, Nana's Place was a cozy family restaurant with a constantly changing menu. The food normally depended on what Iemitsu felt like bringing home. They even had a sushi chef, Tsuyoshi Yamamoto. He was one of the best sushi chefs in the region and was the father of Tsuna's childhood friend Takeshi Yamamoto. "Good morning Chef Sawada, Tsuna and Shizuka." The floor manager greeted, giving them all a brilliant smile. He had a muscular frame and was completely bald, the only hair remaining was a blond handlebar mustache. He often intimidated people without meaning to, despite his polite demeanor.

"Good morning Ivan. What's on the agenda for today?" Nana asks, Ivan grinned. "Rumor around town is that one of the Heavenly Kings arrived in town after hunting for a rare ingredient. Every business has been clamoring to get such a high profile client into their restaurant. The staff was wondering if we could take a more... proactive approach like our competitors." Ivan says. "You mean they want to mob the poor guy? Depending on which King it is, that might not be a good idea." Tsuna comments.

Sani was known for being picky about looks and atmosphere, people were normally too terrified of Coco's poison to approach him and Zebura was still in prison as far as anyone knew. The only one that might not care would be Toriko. "Image how our sales would go up if we could get one of them to vouch for how good our food is. We could get the restaurant on the map!" Shizuka says excitedly, Ivan clasped his hands and grinned. "Now you're getting it my girl!"

When Toriko and Komatsu reached Namimori, Komatsu was not prepared for the amount of people that were advertising their restaurants in the middle of town. He found himself being separated from Toriko as the people continued to hound Toriko. "People here can be over the top sometimes but this is ridiculous." The comment came from a teen and he gave the chef a nervous smile. "Not much happens in a small town like ours so they often tend to get over excited whenever someone new is in town." Tsuna says sheepishly.

"No need to apologize, this usually happens whenever we go to new places. I don't suppose you'd know anywhere to eat where we won't get swarmed?" Komatsu asks hopefully, Tsuna chuckled. "I work as a sous chef at a family restaurant. If you want some privacy, I doubt anyone could get past Ivan or uncle Yamamoto. We might want to leave before Hibari notices." The brunet says nervously. "Who is-" "Herbivores." A dark aura emanated from a teen with short black hair. There was a canary yellow bird on his shoulder but his eyes had a feral glint to them. "Crowding the street is not permitted."

The crowd scattered, those not running fast enough having an unfortunate run in with Hibari's tonfa. "Hey Toriko, I found a place for us to have brunch!" Komatsu yelled, waving his arms to get the man's attention. The blue haired man grinned, walking over to the pair. His biceps are almost bigger than I am! Tsuna internally screamed.

The staff of Nana's Place all stared up at Toriko, breaking out into a nervous sweat. Shizuka looked at all the awestruck adults and rolled her eyes. They reacted the same way when the original owners hired their mother as the head chef. She gave her best professional smile. "Welcome to Nana's Place! Just follow me and I'll get you gentlemen seated right away." Shizuka says, giving her brother a stealthy thumb up. Tsuna wanted to face palm.

The famished duo ended up buying a weeks worth of food off the menu, it took two waiters and Ivan to carry it all. Shizuka drummed her fingers on the reception desk impatiently. "I wish I could go over there and see what they're doing." Shizuka mutters under her breath. A food reporter tried to enter the restaurant, only for the teen to send them off with a glare. "Let people eat in peace or I'll call Hibari on you next time!" She yells as the reporter ran off.

"Nana, where have I heard that name before?" Komatsu wondered aloud.
