Turning Leaf
The Turning Leaf, which specializes in fresh, seasonal preparations drawing heavily from the city’s fish markets and the produce grown nearby in Green Ridge, is one of the most popular and upscale restaurants in Eastgate. In addition to its regular menu, the Turning Leaf presents traveling guest chefs, who prepare specialties from their homelands or unusual delicacies they have encountered while abroad, during monthly two- or three-night engagements.
Tickets to these guest presentations are rare and prized not only for the experience of tasting the food but also as signifiers of social status. For gourmands and social climbers alike, few gifts are as welcome—and few bribes as effective—as tickets to a star chef’s presentation dinner at the Turning Leaf.
The proprietor of the Turning Leaf is a ghoran named Qidesca, a pleasant owner who uses their sense of humor to add a dash of levity and amusement to every meal—something of an irony, given the fact that Qidesca doesn’t understand the actual complexities of comedy themself. Emotion is no stranger, on the other hand, to the Turning Leaf’s current guest chef, an imposing hobgoblin named Kurgatosh who is only too eager to cash in on his ancestry and use his fearsome appearance to impress customers. That the food he prepares is legitimately delicious certainly helps to impress!
