Restaurant owner: "I know the old chef has left and taken most of his materials and ingredients with him, but now you're the chef, so get to work with the few items left."
Diner: "Hey, I wanted the filet mignon and all I'm getting is leftover mashed potatoes and a hamburger."
New cook: "Oh, you think you could do better with what I have here? If not, feel free to eat somewhere else."
Other diners: "Yeah, it's not as good as the old place but I still like the atmosphere of the place and the new chef is doing a pretty good job with what he has to work with."
(As for me, I think Silver is a vast improvement over the original game, even though some (not all) of the artwork isn't up to Akabur's level.)
