On my morning stroll through the intertubes, I hit Freakonomics, as is my wont. Today, Stephen J. Dubner is raving about Jeff Henderson's Cooked. Henderson, the new executive chef at Cafe Bellagio, leaned to cook in prison, where he was incarcerated for dealing crack.

Yeah, it looks cute, but Huckleberry is making his move to take over the whole thing. When he has annoyed Bagheera enough, she'll leave in a huff—or else haul off and smack him. Since he's always up for a ruckus, there's no downside.
