I love the spirit of this. A little more backstory that the chef somehow carefully selected the guests as people who made no charitable contributions, efforts, etc, would make the chef less of a self-righteous prick. Maybe the guy funded showers at the Soup Kitchen and did it anonymously. Or maybe he (and his employees) worked a half day there on every Thursday that wasn't a Thanksgiving.

As an Executive Chef of 25 years, this was hilarious in a most warped but exacting way. Staying true to oneself regardless of possible repercussion is the epitome of self worth. Awesome story Jimmy.

Love this one.

Love this -- it creates this sense of intrigue and makes the reader feel unsettled at the same time, very early in the story. So cool!
