Jasper didn’t like me. I’d been shadowing Fisher for over a week now and had hoped that once Jasper and I were working alone that the constant look of disdain he wore when he looked in my direction would disappear. Five minutes into it being the two of us alone, and if anything, he appeared to have progressed to appalled. Knowing that they’d been hesitant to hire me, and the desire to win Jasper over—not that I could remember why I’d wanted to do that now—I’d decided last night when mulling over what to make in the coming week, that one of my specialties was in order. It didn’t hurt that Jasper had mentioned it used to be one of his favorite meals. Based on Jasper’s reaction, I’d gotten it wrong.
Clearing my throat, I said, “I’m not sure what you’re… Oh, fuck.” Realization dawned on me. “Seafood.”
The adorable little shit pressed his pointer finger to his nose. “Ding. Ding. Ding. Give the man a cookie.”

[Lecture VO]
On découvre ici l'histoire de Jasper. J'avais bien aimé Jasper dans le tome précédent, même s'il était resté très mystérieux (mais donc intrigant).
Caleb est un nouveau personnage, qui arrive suite aux modifications apportées à la Takoda Kitchen Soup, comme énoncées à la fin du livre précédent.
J'ai trouvé dommage que ce personnage ne soit pas plus approfondi, surtout par rapport à Jasper. On en apprend beaucoup sur Jasper mais très peu sur Caleb !

Résumé
Jasper’s helpful, mysterious… and homeless.
The soup kitchen was the only place I’d felt like I belonged in months, but working under the new, renowned chef had me doubting there was truly a place for me anywhere. He was nice enough, but he really didn’t “get” the people he was cooking for or the battles we faced. But my feelings didn’t matter, I had no home and my options were limited.
Caleb’s talented, successful… and clueless.
I wished I could say I’d pushed to be the main cook at Takoda Outreach Center out of selflessness, but that would be a lie. I knew my parents would never lower themselves to walk into a place like this, and I was counting on that. I was sick of being the perfect son, the celebrated chef—the price was too high, and now I had no social life and no idea who I was. And then I met Jasper, the sweet selfless younger man who opened my eyes to life’s harsher realities.
Just when Jasper thinks he’s found a way to make it through the winter unscathed by the elements, the shelter he’s found is ripped away. When Caleb offers him sanctuary, Jasper accepts the older man’s help.
Will Caleb’s questions about his past send him running back to the streets or has Jasper finally found the place he belongs?
