Guy’s winning story tells of an exclusive restaurant franchise serving exotic meats. It concerns Julian Asprith, a restaurant critic who cannot believe his luck when he is invited to join a billionaire at an exclusive restaurant named Carnivores. Exotic meats cooked in innovative ways are the plats du jour, and diners are only told what they are eating once the dish arrives at their table. Finally, Julian will be able to experience, at first-hand, what these exclusive diners eat.
