Two months behind on his rent, young graduate Monocle swallows his dreams and ta
kes the only job he can find: the lowest-rung chef in a gastropub in Camden. Her
e he finds himself surrounded by a group of deranged hoodlums (his co-workers) a
nd at the mercy of an ingenious sadist (the head chef, Bob).
What follows is
a furiously-paced, ribald, raucous and unexpectedly touching tale of loyalty and
revenge, dark appetites and fading dreams, and a young man finding his way in t
he world as he is plunged into the fat and the frying pan and everything else be
sides.
