An Interview with Chef Art

From Fry Another Day
The Biscuit Bowl Mysteries
By J.J. Cook

This is Jason Smith from WQBT News in Atlanta. Today I’m interviewing the man behind the Biscuit Bowl Food Truck which is in the lead in this lap of the Sweet Magnolia Food Truck Race.

Q. Good morning, Chef Art. Are you enjoying the race?

A. Hello, Jason. It’s been a lot of fun so far. Crazy and wild, but fun.

Q. We’ve heard a member of your Biscuit Bowl food truck may be responsible for the murder of one of the drivers. Care to comment on that?

A. No one from the Biscuit Bowl killed anyone! That’s a ridiculous charge. But for the record, Miguel isn’t really part of the Biscuit Bowl food truck team. He’s an out-rider who is helping Zoe Chase, the driver.

Q. What made you decide to be part of the race?

A. As you know, Jason, I’ve been a famous food face in the South for as long as most people can recall. I don’t actively run a restaurant anymore, but I like to help talented newcomers – like my friend Zoe – get established. That’s why I’m her sponsor for the race, and why I’m here.

Q. You’re a man of the people, Chef Art!”

A. Yes, I am! Have you tried one of the biscuit bowls yet? They are very good. Who wouldn’t like a deep-fried biscuit filled with good things? I have one right here that’s filled with lemon pie filling. Excellent!

Q. I just ate – thanks. I’m sure it’s delicious, but . . .

A. Just eat it. You’ll love it. And quit spreading the rumor that Miguel Alexander killed anyone.

Q. I can’t – mumph – oh. It’s very good. Thanks for shoving it into my mouth, Chef Art.

A. You’re very welcome, my boy. You’re very welcome.

This is Jason Smith – with a mouthful of biscuit bowl. Back to you at the studio.

With a few loyal friends in tow—including her handsome attorney, Miguel, and her cat, Crème Brûlée—Zoe drives the Biscuit Bowl to Charlotte, North Carolina, to enter a nationally televised food truck race. The contest features challenges across the Southeast, and with a fifty-thousand-dollar grand prize, competition isn’t just fierce—it’s killer.

As everyone gears up for the first challenge, another food trucker from Zoe’s hometown is found dead. The race rolls on, but when the body count rises, police begin to suspect Miguel. Now Zoe must race to catch the killer before her attorney needs an attorney.

Jennifer’s Review of Fry Another Day

Review (4.5 Stars): Zoe gets the opportunity of a lifetime to be a part of a national food truck race where she will be competing for a big prize to help her get one step closer to opening her own restaurant.  With her team by her side, they get ready to compete when one of their competitors is found dead and Zoe’s attorney, Miguel, is blamed for the crime.  She must help find a killer before they knock off the rest of the competition and put Miguel in jail for a crime he didn’t commit.

I’m a huge fan of J.J. Cook and I absolutely loved the first book in the series, Death on Eat Street. Fry Another Day is the perfect combination of a spunky heroine, a mystery with clever plot twists and turns and yummy recipes to die for.  I loved every minute of this mystery and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book where the gang goes to Mardi Gras. I love New Orleans and I can already smell the Jambalaya that Zoe will put in her biscuit bowls.

Giveaway
