Chef’s Note: Sitting on an egg salad sandwich – we’ve all been there, right? The initial moment of squelch,* the slow dawning realization of what you’ve done, the soggy sorrow of sandwich loss, the burning shame of wanting to keep eating it anyway, the time-consuming dog attacks on the besmirched posterior. That’s what makes this scene so resonant – it’s a universal experience. Nice work, Mr. Latour!
Chef’s Note: In this story, Miles has traveled to an Earth in a different dimension. You can tell because they spell “diner” slightly differently there: DINNER. Comic-book food archaeology is all about the details, people.
Chef’s Note: Mmm… french fry air!
Chef’s Note: Gwen, if you’re getting tummy rumbles within a few minutes of eating that sandwich, then you probably have something more serious than “egg salad belly.” I know you’re a superhero but please contact a doctor ASAP – I’m worried about you.
Another culprit for rapid-onset symptoms – within one to seven hours after a meal – is Staphylococcus auerus. S. auerus moves through you like a tornado – it’s an intensely miserable but brief episode of nausea, vomiting, cramps and/or diarrhea that may last only a few hours or, at most, a day. Likely sources include egg-based foods (egg salad, mayo-based salads, custard or cream-filled pastries), poultry, meat or dairy products that have been improperly refrigerated.

Sorta run-of-the-mill, lackluster styling as well. 1 star (★)
