People with Taste

The Bear meets horror in this tale of rare and bloody revenge set in the world of fine dining as only horror sensation Craig DiLouie can write it, perfect for fans of Nothing Tastes as Good and Tender Is the Flesh.

Matt Landry is one of fine dining's hottest new stars. He's the head chef at a Michelin starred restaurant. Then his job goes up in flames, literally. And despite his notoriety in the industry, he's dead broke.

But then an actual billionaire reaches out to him, and offers him a second chance at restaurant few believe even exists. The Smoking Mirror is a myth. An exclusive dining club for the wealthiest of the wealthy. The kind of place that spins up dark conspiracies and hides darker truths.

The gig promises the security he’s been missing. But the job is exacting. The other chefs are maniacally focused. His NDA is a mile long. His superiors demand utmost secrecy. And the meat they cook with - tender, delicate, marbled - is unlike any he’s worked with before.

As he plunges deeper into the cutthroat world of fine dining, he discovers that there is no glory without sacrifice. And once he gets the taste of success, even unspeakable horrors become palatable.
