i got my start early. my parents worked late into the evenings growing up, so i made a lot of my own meals, but i didn’t mind it. i watched plenty of cooking shows. by eleven, i had a dream that i never let go of.[break][break]

when it was time to get a job, chef bellamy let me in the doors to what looked like a paradise far removed from my world. i did work prepping and cleaning, but i longed to be over the heat, painting memories in the heads of important people.[break][break]

bijou was beautiful. everything upper-class always looks so smooth on the surface, but a restaurant is a complex beast. we yelled, cried, we picked up the slack when people threw down the apron. eventually, i learned to dance around fire.[break][break]

it’s been fourteen years since chef bellamy gave me that chance. four years since the megalopolan invasion nearly took us out, one since i became head chef, and six months since a piece of the restaurant became mine.[break][break]

we’re booked a couple months out. nothing can stop us.[break][break]

bellamy’s, originally bijou kitchen, was first opened in 2004 by the entrepreneurial couple jeanette and seiji amada. the kitchen was led by pascal bellamy, a kalosian chef of international renown and experience, who wanted to explore global fusion cuisine in hoenn. following the invasion of slateport, the imada family decided to leave the region behind, passing full ownership of the restaurant to the talented man who had made them a comfortable fortune.[break][break]

the restaurant was a crumbling parting gift, with battle wounds that looked nearly more trouble than it was worth. it was unlikely that bellamy and his staff (those who could stick around) would be able to get it back on its feet. however, despite all odds, bijou was rebuilt, and the clientele came trickling back in.[break][break]

a couple great years passed, despite all the region’s chaos. then, bellamy fell ill. everyone noticed, but he waved them off, at least until collapsing one saturday night in front of a johtonian ambassador and his company, after which the chef admitted it was time to get some rest.[break][break]

sous chef lenora gray took over the kitchen, eventually sharing ownership with another of the old restaurant’s loyal survivors. the name was changed to bellamy’s, in honor of the man that had fought tooth and nail to ensure their dream didn’t die.[break][break]

bellamy’s is an eclectic kalosian-style fusion restaurant, open in the evenings thursday-sunday. on other days, lenora spends time with the old chef in his home kitchen, where culinary magic is made. his touch remains in the menu.
