Three men together. Diverse tastes ... one common love.<br><br>Richie Morton’s sunk all his hopes and savings into a new restaurant in South London promoting British ingredients and recipes. Yet on opening night, it all seems to be heading for disaster. Lost ingredients, manic chefs, no sign of the customers ... he’s in despair. And where are his best friends Craig and Ben, who’ve been helping him set up the new venture? The least they could offer is moral support.<br><br>When they do eventually step in, though, they offer support of a very different kind. They tell Richie some home truths -- that he pushes himself too much, and must learn to share and trust his life with others. With them, specifically. And then, when Richie’s still unconvinced, they decide to let actions speak for their love instead. They’ll help him relax and dish up a caring, sexy, and far more intimate menu.

Dish of the Day

“What the fuck? You’re the one we’ve always admired,” Craig said, shaking his head. “You never seem to need the external praise. Never seem bothered with how others see you. You’re so self-contained, so fucking cool—”


“So scared!” Richie butted in. “Scared to be part of things, scared of failure. That’s me.”


“Hell of a night then, isn’t it?” Craig said, softly. “Time to learn a little more about each other than before.”


“We don’t measure success in salary cheques, Richie,” Ben said. There was a slow, easy smile of affection on his face. “You’ve always been a success. You have determination, you see. You have a vision. The two of us have just taken the next step as it was given to us, whereas you went out and sought your own way. You’ve always been more than worthy of us. It’s whether we measure up to you.”
