Ukraine: Sandwich with a beef

There's a Ukrainian fast food place that serves things buffet style.
The breakfast picture includes hash browns, cheesy broccoli, quiche, and chicken Kiev. By the way, Ukrainians pronounce Kiev as "keev" not "keyev". Anyhow, the food above looks good and tasted pretty good but my complaint was that everything was served at room temperature. We ate there many times and once for breakfast we there at opening and I thought, "Oh, it will have to be hot this time!" Nope.

Also, at their 8AM opening there was quite a line outside the door. I commented to our new Ukrainian friend Andrew that in the US a place that served breakfast would certainly open earlier than 8AM and if they didn't they see this daily line and realize they should. He basically replied that the profit motive is not built in there.
On another day we stopped at Irish Pub. I had to order the "Sandwich with a beef." It was pretty good and didn't seem to hold a grudge at all.
