The Teriyaki Samurai - Kindle Fiction

The Teriyaki Samurai 
by Dennis Yates


Extreme chef Eric Strode has spent years entertaining Kansas City diners with his lightning fast blades, red hot grill and acrobatic food. After ignoring his employer's repeated warnings about taking his act too far, he is given the option of  losing his job or packing his bags and going to work for Colonel Katsu, a chef known for his legendary temper.

Required to make the cross-country trip with a pair of washed up sumo wrestlers, Eric experiences the vast American landscape for the very first time. And as he and his fellow misfits travel the highway by van, their adventure soon opens them up to a new world of self-knowledge and budding friendships. Yet when sudden engine failure strands them in the middle of the desert, Eric and his new friends are forced to take off in different directions.

On his own, Eric meets an array of people as he crosses the country to Oregon. From the aging western stuntman to a beguiling desert beauty, he is reminded by the richness of life and his need to begin fully embracing it. Meanwhile, the sumos haven't fared so well, having been forced by their employer to return to a horrific poultry factory where the plant's owner and her boyfriend have hatched a plan to cash in on the sumo's life insurance.

Once Eric arrives in Oregon, he must survive the cruel tests chef Katsu has planned for him. Prepared by the awakenings from his mind-expanding journey, he gradually learns how to win over Katsu and together they join forces to save the lovable sumos before it's too late.

Quirky and heartfelt, The Teriyaki Samurai delivers an unforgettable ride of laughter and suspense. It's also a love letter to the American highway and the landscapes and cultures it passes through.
