86 The Chef by Adam K. Watson

Trey Chapman may just be the most famous chef in the world, but his culinary empire has turned into a pressure cooker he desperately needs to escape. When Trey learns that he can’t simply walk away from his celebrity status, he enlists the help of his rogue little brother, Joey Chapman, to devise a plan. However, Joey has his own troubles; he’s being hunted by a federal task force after a wheel of illegal, maggot-ridden cheese, which he smuggled into the country, has taken social media by storm. This situation leads to a culinary caper, reminiscent of Adam K. Watson's style, perfect for anyone who loves food, family, and a touch of edible anarchy in their food and writing.

Food and writing—these were Adam K. Watson’s greatest passions while growing up in Southeastern Virginia. After working in enough kitchens, he realized that cooking was best kept as a personal pastime, leading him to pursue a degree in creative writing. However, his career took a different path, spanning two decades in broadcast television production. Adam has collaborated with globally recognized brands such as ESPN, the NFL, The Weather Company at IBM, and Gulfstream Aerospace—none of which were related to his love for food. Now, with 86 The Chef, he is making a triumphant return to those original passions through a culinary caper that blends his love for food and writing.
