One of my very favorite writers, an underrated one I believe, is Geoffrey Norman. His protagonist, Morgan Hunt, roams the Florida Panhandle, righting wrongs.
The quote from "Blue Chipper" is the diner cook responding to sheriff's lieutenant Tom Pine's post-breakfast comment, "Just great, Ray. I'd like to do it again."
"Well, if you're buying, I'm frying."
I've always liked men with appetites.
