Top chef Jamal takes cruel hypnotic revenge on the woman whose review ruined his restaurant.
===
Jamal couldn’t believe it when he saw the booking – Kate Lendle, the food critic for the Central Gazette. The evil white bitch had ruined his last restaurant with a scathing review – she had claimed it was because the food was cold and tasteless, but he knew his food was impeccable, and he suspected her real problem had been that he was black.
His restaurant had gone bankrupt and he’d worked years to pay off his debts and start over – and now she was daring to turn up to his new place, “The Golden”, and do it again?
But luckily Jamal had learned a few things in the years in between – spent some time studying – and he had a little something he was eager to try.
