I know. You're ahead on points at the moment for putting an apostrophe in the plural husky's. Very naughty.

Even driving in somewhere for food, it's often a case of "nah, they stop serving food at x". I don't know how difficult it is to stay open later at weekends or perhaps make sandwiches and baguettes available later?

Regarding the coffee, it doesn't surprise me. There's coffee as a taste and coffee as a drink. We drink a lot of instant coffee in this country, and coffee is generally regarded as a drink - something to quench your third, some liquid to have with your breakfast. Similar in the US but with less instant. Some countries may do an espresso and a glass of water for separating the two, but we don't do that here so much. Filter coffee is better than instant, and still fulfils the "drink" role.
Fits in with my comments on page 10.
Regarding pricing, the standard burgers seem a little cheap to me...!

I'll get the steak one then!
Regarding the chef, I'd just assumed it would be done as two part time jobs. At least on the weekend.
