HOW DO YOU REVIEW THIS QUICK HELPING OF BORICIO WITHOUT SPOILERS? The answer is as clear as the beer battered bull---- we all know and love that he feeds us. This dose of our favorite character GIVES us a taste of him, especially since we get to see a part of his world as the Chef we have seen in episodes of YESTERDAY'S GONE. We know, from our experiences with him, that he does, indeed, have a tender side....even if he shows it through his predator persona. In this quick piece of back story about Boricio, we see that tender side and we also get a good side helping of that deep dark side of his character that is so intrinsically HIM!The only downside about this story is that it is too short and, while the ending is close to perfection, in the best Boricio bravado, I would have been a lot happier had the story gone just a little farther.....I felt like I had nearly completed the main course but had only been teased by Boricio, offering me a dessert I couldn't have unless I licked my main course plate clean.The truth about Boricio, for me, is that the more I read about him and see the various ways he approaches life.......the more addicted I get to reading Sean Platt's and David Wright's incredibly dark beer battered bull----!!! (And the more I read their vignettes about Boricio, the more I see bits and pieces of allusions...I think that's the right word....to the stories of Elmore Leonard and in particular, KILLSHOT by Mr. Leonard!)LONG LIVE BORICIO!!!
