“A charming, hilarious, feel-good story about the kind of bonds & rivalries only sisters can share. Also, a great present for your sister for the holidays!!”—Reese Witherspoon
Three generations. Two chicken shacks. One recipe for disaster.
In tiny Merinac, Kansas, Chicken Mimi's and Chicken Frannie's have spent a century vying to serve up the best fried chicken in the state—and the legendary feud between their respective owners, the Moores and the Pogociellos, has lasted just as long. No one feels the impact more than thirty-five-year-old widow Amanda Moore, who grew up working for her mom at Mimi's before scandalously marrying Frank Pogociello and changing sides to work at Frannie's. Tired of being caught in the middle, Amanda sends an SOS to Food Wars, the reality TV restaurant competition that promises $100,000 to the winner. But in doing so, she launches both families out of the frying pan and directly into the fire. . .
The last thing Brooklyn-based organizational guru Mae Moore, Amanda's sister, wants is to go home to Kansas. But when her career implodes, helping the fading Mimi's look good on Food Wars becomes Mae's best chance to reclaim the limelight—even if doing so pits her against Amanda and Frannie's. Yet when family secrets become public knowledge, the sisters must choose: Will they fight with each other, or for their heritage?

      Narrators Xe Sands and Cassandra Campbell deliver a story told from the alternating perspectives of two sisters who work at feuding fried chicken restaurants. Amanda, who works for Frannie's, has a timid and kind nature that is reflected in Campbell's warm, soft tones. Older sister May, who is helping her mother run Mimi's chicken restaurant, is voiced confidently by Sands. Family secrets are uncovered as the two restaurants prepare to compete in a "Food Wars" episode. The compelling narration is evident in the details. For example, Sands's weary tones from a couple having the same fight repeatedly highlight marriage problems, and her delivery of a child's hesitant tone as he pronounces an unfamiliar word captures a comic moment. Campbell provides different laughs for a TV producer, displaying the character's two-faced nature. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
