The Culinary Caper

Beschreibung

Pierogi slinging, food truck chef, Anton Cherny, is up to his eyeballs in debt. Desperate to find a way out of his dire situation, he agrees to Ricky's, his old art school buddy, daring solution: Art thievery.The plan is straightforward. While catering parties for members of the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals, who are unknowingly buying priceless works of previously pilfered art, Anton and Ricky swap out the paintings with forgeries, then return the originals to the insurance company for the generous reward money. Easy-peasy, until Anton discovers that his new girlfriend is the daughter of a ruthless Russian mob boss.Adding to his plateful of anxieties are the emotional and financial strains of supporting a son he's never met, fielding threats from a Tolstoy-quoting loan shark, and mounting tension with his food truck partner.Will Chef Anton end up behind bars? Perhaps have his limbs disassembled by the erudite loan shark? Or can he employ his culinary expertise to prevail over the multifaceted morass in which he finds himself?

Nick Greenberg, a professional bassist and composer, has played a wide variety of musical styles: Classical, jazz, rock, Broadway musicals, and even the occasional polka gig. His performances have included concerts at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and in such distant locales as Taiwan.Nick's first job was as a busboy, but quickly climbed the ladder to dishwasher. Later, he worked for a caterer in Minneapolis, and then did a stint as a prep cook at his uncle's restaurant. His brief career in the food industry, however, convinced him he'd much rather be playing and composing music, writing fiction, and eating his way through the world's restaurants. Nick is a former chocolatier, a current winemaker, and an award-winning home brewer.Filled with humor, food and music, Nick's writing draws on the colorful and eccentric characters he has encountered in the music business, as well as from the vast chronicles of his culinary quests.In 2020, Nick published his first novel, Buried Treasure. His short story, Eat, was recently published in the literary journal, Jelly Bucket.
