Winner winner, chicken dinner!
There are
but two fried chicken joints in the tiny town of Merinac, Kansas: Chicken
Mimi’s, owned by the Moores, and Chicken Frannie’s, owned by the Pogociellos. Engaged
in a decades-long family rivalry, scandal arises when Amanda Moore marries
Frank Pogociello and is banished from her mother’s restaurant.
Now widowed and working for Frannie’s,
Amanda decides to settle things once and for all when she applies for the
reality television show Food Wars, pitting the restaurants against each other
in a fried chicken cook-off.
Even Amanda’s estranged sister, Mae, a reality television star in her own right, returns to help Mimi’s win. Old family secrets bubble to the surface as the sisters come head-to-head, and it’s no longer just the grand prize money at stake…
In this fun skewering of reality
television, Dell’Antonia gives family relationship fiction the 21st
century treatment. By turns amusing and heart-warming, Dell’Antonia’s engaging
writing style and relatable characters will leave you craving more (and craving
fried chicken)!
