Heehee, It's great to see the other characters making an appearance, the fortune cookie was a cute touch. I really wished you'd named that veteran/cook/waiter/manager but it's probably as great if you didn't... Beter, adds mystery, although you might have mentioned some of he names scratched into the counter you tease. Anyways, I love the way things are going. And if you end it right here, I'd be happy too, although, I'd be happier if i continued... hint hint.
