Restrictions: None
Genial Gastronomy
It's common knowledge that genies
can be freed with a wish by one of their masters.
But it's less common knowledge that a genie's freedom
can also be proffered after granting 1,000 wishes
(technically 1,002 if you're counting by threes).
The least common knowledge of all, however,
is that once freedom is attained,
all genies are irresistibly, unfailingly compelled
to operate eateries in a greater metropolitan area.
Take beautiful downtown Cheboygan, for example.
There you'll find the Dao's Baos food truck,
right next to Efreet's Treats pop-up cart,
adjacent to Djinn's Drive-In Diner.
Genies living in harmony and offering eats
inspired by their elemental planes of origin
Get yourself downtown to try some today
or you'll be wishing you hadn't missed out!
