Liquor
Liquor: A Novel | Poppy Z. Brite
8 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
New Orleans natives Rickey and G-man are lifetime friends and down-and-out line cooks desperate to make a quick buck. When Rickey concocts the idea of opening a restaurant in their alcohol-loving hometown where every dish packs a spirited punch, they know they’re on their way to the bank. With some wheeling and dealing, a slew of great recipes, and a few lucky breaks, Rickey and G-man are soon on their way to opening Liquor, their very own restaurant. But ?rst they need to pacify a local crank who doesn’t want to see his neighborhood disturbed, sidestep Rickey’s deranged ex-boss, rein in their big-mouth silent partner before he runs amok, and stay afloat in a stew of corruption in a town well known for its bottom feeders. A manic, spicy romp through the kitchens, back alleys, dive bars, and drug deals of the country’s most sublimely ridiculous city, author Poppy Z. Brite masterfully shakes equal parts ambition, scandal, ?lé powder, cocaine, and murder, and serves Liquor straight up, with a twist. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Me yesterday. Needed liquor, metaphorically, to get through the first game between the Knights and the Pens. 🌸 was amazing. Bittersweet because I wanted him to do so well and I wanted the Pens to win. Still, Fleury showed why he is still the man, no matter what Sullivan thinks. #survivingdecember

"What the fuck is up with you?"
"I don't know. Everything reminds me of something else today. G-man shrugged. "We got some good weed. It does that to me sometimes."

One of my all time comfort read. This is so good. It has love, food, drinks and New Orleans. A heady combinaison. #uncannyOctober #bookanddrink

Leniverse Poppy Z. Brite has written something comforting? 😯 7y
writerlibrarian And no vampires in sight. 😉Her liquor series is nothing like her earlier works. Her love for food, cooking, restaurants and NOLA is just wonderful. It's very sad that Katrina shattered her spirit. 7y

🌟🌟ebook deal!🌟🌟
Liquor by Poppy Z Brite is the first book in an awesome trilogy about two New Orleans chefs. Part mystery, part romance, part study of kitchen life, this book is a smorgasbord steeped in Nawlins tradition not to be missed. Rickey and G Man are super memorable. I love this series - this book has stuck with me a decade and a half after I first read it. #diversebooks
P.S. no horror unlike Brite's other books.
