Rickey and G-Man Series: Liquor

In the second book of the Rickey and G-Man series by author Poppy Z. Brite, two line cooks from New Orleans, Rickey and G-man, make a bold decision to open their own restaurant. Rickey, a native of New Orleans, and G-man, his lifelong friend, are both struggling line cooks looking to make some quick money. When Rickey proposes the idea of a restaurant in their city known for its love of alcohol-infused dishes, they see it as a lucrative opportunity.

Through some clever negotiation, a collection of fantastic recipes, and a stroke of luck, Rickey and G-man begin the journey of establishing Liquor, their very own restaurant. However, they encounter obstacles along the way, including a disgruntled local resident opposed to the idea of their restaurant, Rickey's unhinged former boss, their outspoken silent partner who needs to be kept in check, and navigating the murky waters of corruption in a city notorious for its shady characters.

With a frenetic pace, the story takes readers on a wild ride through the kitchens, seedy alleys, dive bars, and illicit dealings of New Orleans, a city that defies conventional norms. Poppy Z. Brite expertly blends elements of ambition, scandal, drugs, and violence to craft a tale that is as intoxicating as the drinks at Liquor, served up with a twist.
