Prometheus: Liver and Onions

Today's special, every day, forever
Era
Eternal; service began shortly after the fire incident
Provenance
A diner on the slopes of the Caucasus, open 24 hours
Medium
Engraving on aged paper stock, checkered floor included
Edition
One plate, refilled daily by arrangement

The Titan who gave humanity fire slumps in a diner booth, still chained, while an eagle in a server's apron presents the daily special. The dish requires no menu, as it is always the same and always his. The coffee, at least, appears to be fresh.
