The Good Place.
Kenna, a destitute teenager with dreams of advising the cosmic elite, wins the dinner of a lifetime at The Sol Majestic, the galaxy's top restaurant. Yet there's no such thing as a free meal: Kenna discovers that The Sol Majestic risks bankruptcy if the planned soirĆ©e doesn't attract enough intergalactic billionaires to pay or it. With a motley gang of newfound friends, Kenna must concoct a scheme of grandiose scopeāand learn lessons of the heart, mind, and palateāin order to save the restaurant he considers home.

"A feast of a book." āSeanan McGuire, Hugo Awardāwinning author
"As if Baz Luhrmann directed an episode of The Chef's Kitchen: The Sol Majestic is completely one of kind!" āSarah Gailey
"Much like the kitchen in which it's set, Steinmetz's culinary space opera is filled with variety. At its heart, it's a complex, chaotic, and mystifying coming-of-age story of a young man becoming a lover, an aesthete, and an activist.Ā .Ā .Ā . SteinmetzĀ .Ā .Ā . elevates his story with lush details and vividly rendered characters, crafting a memorable love letter to the nourishment of body and soul as well as the dignity of work and service." ā Publishers Weekly, starred review
