IHAWP

"One taste and you'll agree, 'Yep. That's food.'"

- IHAWP slogan The Incredible House of the Amazing Wonderful Peregrine, or just IHAWP for short, is a series of restaurants localized exclusively in its namesake city. Each restaurant contains both a family-friendly diner as well as a bar and tavern, the latter of which hosts the occasional nighttime show.

None of them are an official chain, only sharing the same name. Each restaurant is owned and managed by a man named Jerry, of whom is also the chef during the day and bartender at night. Similar to Nurse Joy or Anna, every Jerry looks, sounds, and acts almost the same, but they are all different entities. Each one is a relative of another, though, and perhaps that's the only thing keeping them from suing each other for "copying" one another's restaurant.

Each Jerry considers profit above much else, though, and the media of Peregrine is periodically flooded with ads for all of the various IHAWP restaurants whenever one of them starts a new meal deal. This is due to a long-standing rivalry between them. Each one is trying to attract more customers and run other IHAWPs out of business, almost like a contest. Naturally, when one restaurant tries something new, every other one of the same name copies it. It's virtually impossible to discern which IHAWP was the first to think up a new anything, as each restaurant will inexplicably perform the reveal on the same day, and then each Jerry will heftily reassert he was the first one to imagine it. Mentioning another IHAWP offhandedly is a good way to get kicked out of one of these restaurants to that extent. Jerry runs a slight temper.

While the menus at each IHAWP are almost identical, expert foodies or long-term residents of Peregrine know that each Jerry has a slightly different way of cooking food or mixing cocktails.

Trivia

 * It is entirely possible that at least one of the Jerry's is part of a shark-themed biker gang.
