Alton, a young man just 3 years out of Culinary School, starts working at Alonzo's De'Lic, one of the top tier restaurants in Philadelphia. Having to hear the mouth of the head chef 6 days out of the week, already knowing the guy had it out for him since he walked through those restaurant doors, Alton tries to do all he can to prove, he too could someday be a head chef. Even if that meant leaving no room for a social life, or any other life outside of the restaurant business.
Elizabeth, a young librarian who has had a taste for a good story, and great quality food since she could remember. Working just a walk across the street from Alonzo's De'Lic, she couldn't see herself having lunch elsewhere. Having already had every item on the menu for the 3 years she has been going there, she always made sure she tried something different the next day.
A incident will bring these two individuals together in a way that they would have never expected. Having always been on opposite sides of the restaurant kitchen door, what would be the cause of them doors opening, and the two catching their very first glance at one another?

Weigh Out Way-In
There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)Complete
