History[edit]
Morshu opened the Dinner Palace in 1967, attracting over 9,000 customers. Business boomed in the Seventies, reaching its peak during the disco craze in 1977. Business was slow in The Eighties, though. Computers were the next big craze, but Morshu refused to modernize because he feared a computer/robot uprising. He sold the Dinner Palace to Rick Astley in 1983 for 200,000 rupees and 50 cans of lamp oil. The Restaurant was renamed "Rick's Rolls", but closed down 2 years later when Rick made his one hit wonder. Many forgot Morshu's Dinner Palace, often confusing it with King Koopa's Coney Island Disco Palace until 1986, when it was destroyed.
