Summary
In the aftermath of a messy divorce and amidst great pressure from his publishers, blunt and jaded food critic Vincent Moretti visits The Black Orlov, a so-called ‘family owned,’ hole-in-the-wall restaurant specializing in comfort food. While the restaurant has rave reviews, he is underwhelmed, and writes as such in his review. He doesn’t think much of it—just another overhyped restaurant in the heart of the city—and has more important things to worry about, with his eight-year-old daughter’s recent behavioural issues and his publishers breathing down his neck. However, the co-owner of the restaurant takes his review a lot more personally than he’d expected, and Vincent is suddenly thrust into a side of the culinary world he’d never even known existed.
Leo Caruso is a man who takes responsibility for his actions. Getting his best friend pregnant and dropping out of high school wasn’t in his life plans, but he thinks he’s done pretty well for himself and his family. But after a dead-faced, pretentious food critic gives the restaurant a horrible review, things start going wrong, things that are out of his control. He’s angry, hurt, and dead-set on showing that pompous bastard that he couldn’t possibly be more wrong.
