Have S'Moa
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
- "From the grasslands of Reach to the dinner table of every UEG citizen—you won’t find the finest flavor-laden moa morsels anywhere else!"
- — Wiljax Brantley[1]
Have S'Moa is a restaurant and petting zoo owned by entrepreneur Wiljax Brantley, located on Inner Colony planet Gannick 22. The restaurant had children-themed meals known as "KolonyKids Meals", with moa nuggets being a staple of the meal. Have S'Moa often shipped in moa for both food and petting zoo purposes.[2]
History
Directly before the glassing of Reach in 2552, the restaurant received a shipment of moa from the planet. With most of Reach's native moa population wiped out from the battle, Have S'Moa had ownership over the largest moa population. The restaurant quickly grew popular after the war, with moa nuggets becoming an incredibly expensive delicacy among wealthy Unified Earth Government dignitaries.[2] Have S'Moa offers a new unique stacked burger called the Ground Pounder with Cheese, comprised of two 100% UNSC de-radiated moa angus patties, one chicken patty, technoartisinal Cascade greenleaf lettuce, Sedran red fruit, two slices of space cheddar cheese, and Ugparassa smoked Moebius bacon served on sesame-seed buns. The Space Elevator is a larger stacked variation of the Ground Pounder burger.[3]
Trivia
- Have S'Moa is a reference to the popular modern-day restaurant McDonald's, with the KolonyKids Meals being a reference to McDonald's Happy Meals.
