Pixie's Chicken and Fish

Pixie's Chicken and Fish is a subsidiary of Pixie's Food and Beverage, a company committed to frontier and colonial food service and interstellar food innovations in the Earth Republic. Pixie's Chicken and Fish is the largest and most popular, and thus considered the flagship operation of Pixie's.
Pixie's Chicken and Fish is largely unheard-of on Earth. Its first store opened on Mars in the 2130s, serving greasy chicken, fried fish and chips to workers out at one of Mars's least-developed domes, from the back of its founder's home. When the food found huge success, the founder "Papa Pixie" opened a full store on Mars and immediately franchised it. He then used the proceeds to buy a small transport ship and began selling to miners in Sol's asteroid belt, and later opened another store--by far his most popular--at Epsilon Eridani. In the 2140s, the company was purchased by a firm on Epsilon Eridani to take the brand further, but the home store on Mars is still operated as a franchise (and a cultural institution) by Papa Pixie. Pixie's Chicken and Fish has given out free food to survivors during each attack and disaster in mining communities, in the Mars domes and on Epsilon Eridani, and is beloved and cherished among starfarers. One of its innovations is "Star Pixie's," a modular hull which allows easy quick docking and food pick-ups between Pixie's mobile restaurants and transport ships.

Pixie's is famous for its "flavor sprinkles" and "energy sparkles," a large line of food product additives sprinkled on top of their chicken and fish that can alter the flavor significantly without messy sauces, and have a variety of optional pharmacological effects. Most popular are "energy sprinkles," which are flavor additives in pink and purple that include high doses of caffeine and other stimulants. Flavor sprinkles can add the flavor of barbeque sauce, hoisin, buffalo sauce, curry sauce, chile-lime, ponzu, fish sauce, malt vinegar, and many other flavors from all over Earth cultures, depending on what is popular; they are mixed on-site and on-demand from a number of flavor "sprinkle notes," each forming a recipe that makes up each particular sprinkle mix flavor profile. Sprinkles and sparkles are formulated to stick to greasy food on contact, meaning they never jostle around or fall off, and they are large enough to prevent system clogs and difficult cleaning if they are spilled onboard ships and stations.

All of Pixie's transport ships double as "Star Pixie's" restaurants, meaning they move product and employees to and from various restaurants in the chain as well as serving as kitchens and hot food dispensaries to other transport crews.

Pixie's chicken and fish are vat-grown meats, cultivated in their own restaurants. Constituent proteins, lipids and nutrients are centrally-disseminated from Pixie's Food and Beverage. Potatoes are hydroponically-grown by each restaurant and transport.

Pixie's Chicken and Fish has expanded its brand in the 2150s to other enterprises, including the popular chain, Pixie's Pastries.
