Champion, 2017 Benjamin Franklin Yellow metal Prize for Popular Fiction - Independent Book Publishers Relationship, Apr 7, 2017 In his second novel, publisher Eric Peterson dishes up a riotous spectacle of self-absorbed chefs, backstabbing politicians, and devious posting magnates, established against a backdrop of haute food, presidential politics, and an infinite supply of top-shelf liquor and wine. Fresh from a general population humiliation and in search of his true calling, former college football star Jack Marshall enlists as bartender and steward aboard Horace Button's vintage private railroad car, the "Pioneer Mother", which is transporting the legendary food writer and communal critic across the country in opulent style. Decked out in a white coat, combining perfect cocktails, Jack is immersed in a method of living - and dining - he'd assumed was extinct. While striving to appease the eccentric, finicky Horace and Wanda, the Pioneer Mother's enigmatic chef, Jack falls under the spell of Giselle Lebeau, a gorgeous star chef whose designs on him test his self-control and his devotion. But when tragedy stones Horace's insulated white-linen world, Jack must take demand of a simmering stew of quirky yet powerful personalities - all while residing in Wanda's good graces and keeping an eye on their newest passenger. A tale of service, serendipity, and second chances, The Eating out Car is more than delectable - it's a wonderful, exuberant work of fiction.
