Cities of the Common Man

By: Ben Hasskamp

"Part Kitchen Confidential, part It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Cities of the Common Man is a sometimes-crude but unique and oddly endearing tale of self-discovery." --Kirkus ReviewsThe week before his 30th birthday, once-renowned New York chef Billy MacPherson learns his restaurant is bankrupt, he's been evicted from his apartment, and his estranged father has dropped dead. Against his better judgment, Billy agrees to return to Oregon to face the family and friends he callously left behind. During the reading of his father's will, Billy's extended family is left hundreds of thousands of dollars in estate money, while Billy's only bequeathment is his father's beloved Back To The Future-replica DeLorean. With no restaurant, no money, no prospects, and only a DeLorean to his name, Billy sets off on a journey down the Pacific coast meeting up with distant friends from college, ancient rivals from culinary school, and old flames who still flicker in his heart. All while fighting the terrible--yet, inevitable--prospect of turning 30.
