Grasshoppers?”
An alarm sounded in my head as Damien, the new owner of
Suzette’s, a fine-dining restaurant tucked away in Boston’s cozy North End,
dropped a box on my spotless prep table. As head chef, I should have been
the one ordering the ingredients for the menu, not Damien.
At least that was the way things had been when Suzette had been alive.
Now I was shouldered with dealing with her sleaze of a son who couldn’t
leave well enough alone. Suzette’s was one of the hottest restaurants in
Boston, thanks to my inventive, themed surprise menus, and Damien had
taken his new role as an opportunity to strut his authority around the
restaurant. Every night, like cock of the walk, he’d stroll through the dining
room and publicly find fault with something, often reducing one of the
servers to tears. We’d all been on edge for months now, and I knew that
several of the staff were actively looking for other jobs.
It was hard enough to grieve the loss of Suzette, a kind woman who had
shared my dream of building a restaurant that was both cozy and
innovative, without having to also navigate a new boss who never bothered
to learn anything about the service industry. Even worse? I woke up each
night, drenched in sweat, panic gripping me that the one goal I’d devoted
my entire life to was slipping from my grasp.
“Yeah, it’s all the rage,” Damien said, picking up my custom chef’s
knife. The knife had been a gift from Suzette when Boston Magazine had
run a feature article labeling me as the hot up-and-coming chef in Boston’s
elite culinary scene, and it had been designed to perfectly balance in my
palm. I cared for that knife like it was my baby, and seeing Damien’s greasy
fingers on it made my lip curl in disgust. The bright side? He likely had no
clue how sharp it was, so there was hope he’d maim himself shortly and I’d
be left to get on with my menu for the night.
“Damien…be careful…” I trailed off as he slit the tape at the top of the
box, narrowly missing the tip of his finger, and I took a deep breath in an
effort to control my temper. He needed to get out of my kitchen, now, and
take his insects with him.
“I ordered these specially from Brazil. Overnighted them. They’re
incredibly expensive, so you’ll need to make them a Chef’s Special. I hear
they’re salty, like potato chips,” Damien said, pausing to wipe the back of
the hand holding the knife against his perpetually sweaty forehead. My
heart skipped a beat as the tip of my knife just missed his eyes, because
while I did enjoy a good maiming, even I would turn squeamish if he
popped his eyeball out.
