An older series I came across recently and I must say it's held up well. It centers on a food critic in Washington DC who has a very bad blind date (the guy jumps up in the middle of the date, runs out to feed the meter, and never returns) but things on the work front look good. Set to be synicated nationally Chas starts with an expose on the way some restaurants cheat their patrons and digs into something deepter than intended. A unique take on DC politics and the way eating plays a role in the way the town works. (

I think this was my favorite of the three books in this series. The story was excellent and the character development interesting. The writer introduces new characters without losing the old ones. I loved the way the plot unfolded and the ultimate result. The murders' solution ends up revealing a much more interesting, IMHO, part of the plot. (
