In this follow-up to THE VALUE OF X, Poppy Z. Brite once again takes a break from her usual genre--splatterpunk horror--to explore the fiercely competitive restaurant industry. Many challenges await New Orleans lovers Rickey and G-man when the two men decide to open a restaurant in which all dishes contain a healthy dose of alcohol. Are their great concept and fabulous cooking enough to ensure that the place remains afloat, or will they be sunk by a vengeful ex-boss, a nutty neighbor, and a silent partner who refuses to shut his mouth?
