An adaptation of [[Series/NoReservations Anthony Bourdain's]] professional memoir and a behind-the-scenes look at restaurant kitchens, this WorkCom looked at the goings-on in the kitchen of a fancy Manhattan restaurant. The cast of characters includes two literary references: Jack's Lancer is Stephen Daedalus, while his great rival, a woman chef, is Becky Sharp.
