The restaurant, which has been around for over 40 years, has a loyal following but has not updated its menu or décor in decades.
Mälzer meets with the restaurant owner and head chef to discuss their concerns and tastes. He then tastes some of the dishes on the menu and is uninspired, noting that the food is heavy and outdated. He also observes that the restaurant's décor is tired and in need of a refresh.
