Seamaster's seafood restaurant (original restaurant)

 

Seamaster was a notorious supervillain back in the 50s.  He was the on the government most wanted by the coast guard and navy and was responsible for a number of high profile robberies in the Atlantic Ocean.  In the 60s, he had caught the love interest of a superhero and in typical supervillain fashion, had her dine with him in his submarine in his palatial dining room.  The love interest, while upset at being kidnapped, was quite amazed at the quality of food he served in his dining room.  Being a spunky reporter, she found out that he was actually funding many "save the ocean" charities and was an advocate of sustainable seafood harvesting.  All the items on the table were sustainable seafood dishes that he himself cooked.  Alas, the superhero sank the submarine and saved the reporter before the conversation could proceed further.  Put in jail, Seamaster served 20+ years for his pirating ways.  While in jail he read about the article reporter wrote about her abduction and the wonderful food she had eaten.

 

In 80s, he was paroled for good behavior and found many people had taken to his cause of sustainable and ecological farming of the sea.  He attempted to join those groups, but his age and past prevented him from directly working with them.  Broke and dejected, he was working as a janitor for the local aquarium when he was found by the same reporter he had kidnapped earlier.  Her "boyfriend" superhero had dumped her for some amazon superhero and the newspaper had laid her off due to budget cuts.  Commiserating, two began a friendship, then a romantic relationship, and finally a business partnership.  Seamaster opened their first seafood restaurant to great reviews and the reporter(now wife) blogged the opening.  His villainy made him a cult ecological anti-hero and a draw at first to the restaurant. As news spread of the meals there,  people came for the food which actually gain a Michelin star.  In final coup d'etat, the amazon superheroine came to the restaurant with her new beau, a shadowy superhero who stalks the night while the reporter's ex allegedly stayed at his home of solitude.

 

Seamaster and wife still work the restaurants but at a very retired pace.  His son and daughter now run the business with 10% of the proceeds going to charities.

Hercules Texas BBQ

 

This restaurant is a standard restaurant.  The only difference is that the barbecue pit is rather large and made from a single piece of stone said to be from Mount Olympus.  The fire never seems to die and the coals always burns hot.  The owners say the coals are from the pits of Tartarus and they never die.  The BBQ is fantastic with juicy meats that smoke for hours over the ever burning coals.  The greek owners have won several major national BBQ awards and the more meat prone supers come from mile away to eat up to 10 pounds of authentic Texan BBQ Beef Ribs.

 

A story has been told that a super and a villain met at Hercules Texas BBQ but didn't fight.  They each ate their meal and walked away to a nearby empty lot to have their fight.  Neither wanted to damage the BBQ restaurant.
