      I absolutely love this I personally barely played Skyrim mostly because I don't have the systems for it and my laptop is not suited for gaming. This was still rather entertaining and enjoyable and I'm quite interested in your visits to the other establishments in the area of Skyrim. I'm also intrigued as to what other games/ worlds you'll visit should this series continue.
      A quick video place/ general suggestion would Telma's Bar in Twilight Princess.

    Good evening. I'm a regular guest at the Bannered Mare in Whiterun, and I have been a member of staff in the past, meaning I can share a bit of insider knowledge with you. All of the meat there is stored in salt, until Saadia washes and either boils it or fries it to remove the excess salt. Most of the cuts are treated this way, however the fresher ones have been known to be used quicker, before the salting process, during busier times. As for the ventilation issues, they have existed for a long time, however due to the nature of the fire (constantly smouldering as opposed to an open inferno) the smoke is able to exit through the side door when it is used. In my time there I advised Saadia to prop it open during the busiest hours of the day to lessen any smoke build-up for her own personal work experience. She was relatively new when I worked there, same as me, so we had quite a few discussions about Hulda, privately, and I can tell you that she only snaps and gets bossy as there is more piling up to be done. After our shifts she is quite pleasant company, and due to her line of work she picks up a ton of news to share in the form of stories. Thank you for leaving your review, and safe travels to your next stops, wanderer

    For the gastronomical adventurer, I highly recommend the mods SUDs (Skyrim's Unique Drinks) and Cheesemod for EVERYONE. The former adds a signature drink to every individual tavern in the game, and each reflects the tone of the area. Cheesemod adds over a hundred varieties of cheeses to the world, from the grotesque cottage cheese to a nutty cheese log, to regional varieties depending on what they feed their cows (probably). I'd love to see @anyaustin incorporate these into his videos. :D

    Whats actually funny is all the way back in 1996, The elder scrolls 2 daggerfall had a mechanic that basically told you a shops quality when you walked in. When you entered a message would pop up and it would range from "relics remain where they were once tossed, piles of ancient odd and ends sit coated in dust" for the poorest quality shop (best prices for buy+sell) and "the scent of incence and sound of music soothes you as you walk in, riches are stacked neatly for display on neat shelves" for the best (best quality items, worst prices)

    NATIONALLY ACCLAIMED RESTAURANT CRITIC MISSING
    Restaurant critic Any Austin has gone missing among scandalous speculations.
    After having completed a recent “world tour” of Skyrim establishments, nationally acclaimed critic Any Austin has been officially declared missing, according to the Jarl’s Office of Whiterun.
    “He was perfectly polite and lovely to talk to, and he cares so much about keeping Skyrim restaurants safe,” says a staff worker of the Bannered Mare, who asked to remain nameless. “I hope they find him.”
    Some of those questioned by our staff pointed out in low voices that the final restaurant reviewed by Any Austin was the Silver-Blood Inn, which he rated an F, calling it “filthy” and that it should be “shut down”.
    Said Corpulus Vinius, owner of the Winking Skeever in Solitude, “[The Silver-Bloods] can be quite barbaric,” and that Any Austin was in general “much too quick to judge perfectly functioning establishments.” He refused to speculate about the missing person case itself, citing instead that “I would never be caught dead in Markarth, mind you, but even I know not to piss off the Silver-Bloods.”
    Kleppr, proprietor of the Silver-Blood Inn, refused to comment.
    The cause of Any Austin’s disappearance remains unknown, and we wish the investigators luck in their search.
    This piece written by Skyrim Associated and distributed by Sign of the Steed Publishing.
    The Winking Skeever can be found just inside of the main gate of Solitude. It is always open, offers exceptional fare and also features inn rooms at a reasonable rate.

    One more bonus point for Morthal about the animal skin hanging on the wall: I think it's not only decoration, but keeps the tables warmer, since the skin will stop wind from blowing through the cracks on the wall. I mean, I'm pretty sure those wooden walls have some draft coming through, so it's a nice little thing Morthal does to make the place even more comfortable. :)

    I feel like the ventilation _might_ be dealt with by the fact that it's a thatch roof.
    If you look up (At least in Breezehome, I haven't really checked the taverns), you can even see the sky. So the smoke is likely not getting trapped, though it may still build up in the upper areas faster than it can escape.

    My main note on Skyrim's food safety is that raw meat should always be stored on the lowest shelf in case it drips juice, which is a health hazard especially considering that many establishments have goblets stored directly underneath. If one of those goblets gets contaminated and goes out to a patron, they could get sick

    Mines are run by prison slaves. A fact I know firsthand, because I didn't live there for three days before the corrupt city guards pinned a murder (that they committed) on me! Had to fight my way out of the prison camp, accidentally springing all the prisoners in the process. At which point, the city instantly forgave me, which is even MORE concerning!
    And by the city, I mean the ruling government pardoned me. I keep getting suspicious looks by the locals. That's not to mention the abandoned house, ruled by an evil god, that forced me to commit an act of murder against my will!
