Michael Hollinger’s
An Empty Plate
It The Café Du Grande Beouf
No menu necessary at the world's greatest restaurant, the Café du Grand 
Boeuf in
Paris. Why? "Because we have everything," headwaiter Claude admonishes
waiter-in-training Antoine. On this hot July night in 1961, the two join
waitress Mimi and chef Gaston in awaiting the imminent arrival of Victor, 
the
Café's owner and sole patron. But when "Monsieur" returns from the 
bullfights in
Madrid, disheveled and morose, his wish is simple: to die of starvation at 
his
own table. The frantic staff, whose very lives depend on Victor's appetite, 
try
all means to change his mind, but to no avail. Finally, they make a 
last-ditch
plea: Out of respect for their life's work, will he let them prepare one 
final
meal—provided they leave it in the kitchen? Instead they will describe it,
course by course, over a series of empty platters. Victor reluctantly 
consents,
and the "feast of adjectives and adverbs" begins…A "comic tragedy in seven
courses" celebrating the joys of cooking, sex, bullfighting and the 
collected
works of Ernest Hemingway.
