Bell Cafe - 132 E Main St
A clean, friendly lunchroom featuring better-than-average cooking: breakfast 40-75 cents; lunch 75 cents to $1.10. Comfortable booths line the back wall and front window, and there is a counter. Open 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday-Friday, the Bell café offers well-made diner-style food in a larger space and with table service.
The cafe is popular with white-collar workers from New Jerusalem’s business district and Missituk University students and staff, as it is the closest actual restaurant to campus. Bell’s has a habit of poaching employees from the Fleetwood and the Grafton Diners, offering a slightly higher pay for similar work. The window booths offer a chance to watch much of New Jerusalem walk by over ham and eggs.
Jim Rice is a cook at the Bell Cafe, he and is a decent cook at that. He isn’t quite up to the standard of the head cook at the cafe, though the lunchroom’s food is known to be a cut above what might be expected, but Jim is no slouch in the kitchen.
He’s thinking of perhaps striking out elsewhere, maybe looking to work as a head cook in another cafe or, if he can manage it, his own place. The problem with that is funding, and Jim has also been looking at lunch wagons. He’d be willing to go into partnership with someone with money, and he might not ask too many complicated questions in such a case.
