The Burning Cut is a famous tavern in The Ratways. It is owned by the infamous local crime lord Unknown.
The 'cuts' it serves are from the larva of giant bugs known as Harrow Grubs.
These bits of sticky sickly pale flesh are cooked here by using a fire elemental chained to the back wall of the tavern.
The elemental does as it's told or is sprayed with water by the chefs something that is agony for this creature of fire.
The way the Harrow Grubs larva are cooked by the elemental improves there flavour...a little.
The tavern is known to be a hang out for some of the most dangerous slum dwellers in the city.
It is easy to find as a fire burns outside it on the street day and night. Many of those who come to warm themselves on the flames end up wandering into the tavern and paying for the misty, slightly lumpy liquid the barman swears is home brewed bug bear but could consist of nearly anything.
