Étoilé #3

The third volume of Brahy, Lehericey, and Desmarès' culinary drama serves up a striking cover: a sharp-eyed chef in a white kitchen coat stands arms half-crossed, coolly holding up a meat cleaver — and reflected in its blade is the scowling face of another dark-haired figure. "Chariot de desserts" promises that the high-stakes world of starred restaurants is anything but sweet, and this 2019 Dupuis release suggests the rivalry and tension simmering through the series are coming to a head.
