A heinous murder has occurred in one of Manhattan’s most fashionable restaurants:
A star chef has fallen victim to his own success, and the envy of this hot-headed, ego-riddled industry.
As we came together to review the evidence, investigate, and discover the Killer, there was no time for fancy five-course meals and elaborate dishes! This called for simple sustenance, the kind of grub to fuel the brain and keep gravy stains off the court documents.
When Chief-inspector Idit called us in, we all knew what was expected of us, and played our parts to exacting standards.
The assembled crew included Lead-investigator Oliver, mad-axe-murderer Dorrotya, hapless opera goers Bernhard and Arianna (yours truly), and brand-new recruit (!!) Tara.
To get us through this laborious investigation, full of uncooperative witnesses and contradicting stories, Idit prepared three pasta dishes, each loaded with veg and protein to keep us going.
As we poured over the artifacts, so flowed the drinks in our glasses.
But the testimonies mounted, and eventually the Killer was identified, crushed by the sheer volume of damning evidence.
To celebrate our hard-earned victory over crimes of passion and ego, Idit produced the bloodiest and sweetest CAKE any of us had ever eaten:
Turns out justice is a dish best served warm, and with plenty of bubbly.
Until next time!
