They Banned Me From Family Dinner—So I Bought Their Favorite Restaurant

They Banned Me From Family Dinner—So I Bought Their Favorite Restaurant @Revenge Zone I sat at my private table at Luigi's, watching the Friday night dinner crowd through the restaurant's elegant mirrors. Six months had passed since Mom's text: "Until you get a real career instead of 'playing restaurateur,' you're not welcome at family dinner. We can't have you embarrassing us in front of the Richardsons again." The Richardsons - our family "friends" who owned a chain of mediocre steakhouses. The ones who'd laughed when I said I was studying global cuisine and restaurant management instead of going to law school like my sister. "Ms. Parker," Marco, the maître d', approached quietly. "Your family just pulled up in the parking lot." "Right on schedule," I smiled, checking my Cartier watch. Every Friday at 7 PM, like clockwork. The Parker family dinner at Luigi's - a twenty-year tradition they had no idea I now owned. Through the antique mirror, I watched them enter - Dad in his usual Brooks Brothers suit, Mom wearing her country club pearls, my sister Amanda with her lawyer husband, all ready for their weekly performance of "perfect family." "Good evening, Mr. Parker," Marco greeted them with practiced warmth. "Your usual table..." "Is occupied," I finished, standing up. "But I'd be happy to join you at another one." Mom's face went pale. Dad's wine glass froze halfway to his lips. Amanda's perfect smile cracked. "Sarah?" Mom managed. "What are you doing here? This is a private establishment..." "Actually, Mother," I smiled, "it's my establishment. Along with Le Petit Jardin downtown, The Golden Swan on Fifth, and about thirty other 'private establishments' across the city." "Impossible," Dad sputtered. "Luigi's has been owned by the Romano family for generations." "Until three months ago," I nodded to old Mr. Romano, who was watching from the kitchen door. "When my restaurant group made them an offer they couldn't refuse. Though I kept them on as partners, of course. Some traditions are worth preserving."
