Citronelle's Rise & Fall

Chef Felicien craves a real Maitre'd to ensure that his food-art and Guests are served properly. Instead Corporate provides him with a series of managers that regularly violate the basic tenets of the Fine Dining Experience. Burned out from the abuse, Felicien retreats into his Kitchen. Underestimating his power, Don the Waiter feels there is nothing that he can do to protect Service. Although Brain continues to spread his web of misconceptions, the Universe places Don face-to-face with Reality. Heart's chains break and Body stands up for herself. Rising to Power is the second book in the trilogy, Citronelle's Rise & Fall. The trio of books chronicles the real trials and tribulations of Citronelle, a popular gourmet restaurant in Santa Barbara. The author has worked as a waiter in Santa Barbara's Fine Dining scene for over thirty years. He has written many other books, including Butter on Table 7 and The Divine Breakdown.
