The way you write how your characters interact with food is perfect! Although, you know, Don only starts eating here...and you know he'll be hungry again soon. What's to happen to him then? ; )

I think years ago I read this book called "The Mirror" by Marlys Millhiser

and in it, one of the characters took a bite of egg and then followed this by a bite of toast and a bite of coffee, and then just sat there savoring it, and it was so well done I could almost taste it in my own mouth. Thus began my own little obsession because I can't get the impact that the scene had on me out of my head.

So I wanted to ask, but tried not to bug you, but why did you use Janet's Diner instead of the Chinese restaurant? (There. I asked!)
