A former Army Captain and current chef decides to take matters into his own hands when the city he calls home becomes overridden by crime and falls prey to an evil genius.
What do you do when the city you call home becomes overrun with crime? Why, you become a superhero of course. At least this is the solution Benjamin “Benji” Winters comes up with.
After leaving the Army Corps of Engineers where he held the rank of Captain, Benji moves to Range City to start a new life where he can utilize his true passion, the culinary arts. As head chef at the Chez Louis Ristorante, Benji finally begins to feel settled. That is until the city’s crime wave spills over and he becomes the victim of a vicious assault when the restaurant is robbed and sadly a young friend and protégé loses his life.
While recovering from his injuries and wanting justice for his friend, Benji decides to take matters into his own hands. Merging the two aspects of his life, a former Army Captain and current Chef, into one, he takes up the mantle of hero becoming Captain Kitchen. With his whisk bolas and plastic wrap blaster, Benji as Captain Kitchen will make sure every thief, thug, and all around evil doer’s goose gets cooked.
Excerpt
"This last promise to his friend energized his determination. With one last look at Jimmy’s final resting place, Benji turned and took the first step to a much larger journey. He walked out of the Range City Serenity Garden Cemetery with his head held high, and the sun shining brightly on his back. It was time to go to work. He had a vow to fulfill. It was time to be a hero."
