"A book that’s sure to satiate your appetite." —People Magazine

“On the morning of its biggest reservation of the year, a restaurant descends into accusations and acrimony in this entertaining tale from Kauffman (I’ll Come to You)…As the day progresses…the stressed-out staff begins to better understand each other’s motivations, and the story develops into a profound meditation on what it means to be connected, which Kauffman elucidates with a light touch when a bar guest reflects on the nature of storytelling… It’s a pitch-perfect mash-up of Clue and The Bear.” -Publisher’s Weekly, starred review

“A restaurant-based mystery reveals more than just the culprit in this sprightly drama…As the day unfolds, replete with all the ordinary chaos of a busy service, the characters’ stories overlap to yield not only the answer to the mystery of the missing steaks, but also a tender tale that seeks the “immeasurable satisfaction” of an ordinary job well-done. In what is largely a light and funny novel, Kauffman nevertheless touches some of the deeper mysteries of the human condition: desire, longing, and an inchoate sense that there is something larger than our circumstances which binds us all together. A book that proves light touches can leave lasting impressions. -Kirkus Reviews
