Eating Long Swine
Crime Fiction By Chris Bunton
The video turns on and we see a man standing in a kitchen. He has long black hair tied in a pony tail, and a scraggly beard. The kitchen looks as unclean as he does.
“Hey everybody!” The man says to the camera, as he leans forward and places his hands on the island in front of him. It stands between him and the camera. We can see a fridge, cabinets lining the wall, and a stove behind him. The walls are of grey cinder block, like a basement.
“My name is Rafael Diaz, and this is the first episode of the “Chef Rafael Show”” He says. He pushes a button on the island and cheers can be heard in the room, like a studio audience.
“Ok, let me explain what we are doing here. We are filming the first season of the show, and then we will pitch it to one of the networks. We are not sure which, but it will be fantastic.”
He claps his hands at the saying of the word “fantastic”, and then rubs them together like he is warming them.
“The Chef Rafael Show” is going to be a cooking slash travel slash slasher show. It’s going to be a mix of Anthony Bourdain, meets Guy Fieri, meets Hannibal Lector and they have a meal. We might even throw in a little Rachel Ray to make it a yummy sammich.”
