Chef’s Note: Gotham City has been likened to many things over the years but I am fairly certain this is the first, and only, time that it is described as “a peach cobbler in the morning.”
Such a homey image, so full of cozy warmth and sweetness. The fact that it is delivered by a psychopath who just killed a man for his shoes* makes for a dramatic, and quite unsettling, contrast. Nice use of culinary metaphor, Mr. Green – kudos.
Chef’s Note: Happy National Peach Cobbler Day!
