A young crêpe chef (!!!) enters a major competition despite not coming from a privileged background. I hadn't read a culinary-themed comic before but I trust Joe because Glory and Shutter are two of my faavorite reads. This volume focuses on world building and setting things up for what is to come. I really hope we get more from this comic. As a bonus there are entries in the back of each issue from a food scientist to teach you about food, ingredients, and Crêpes Suzette.

I didn't have the highest expectations for this one because of the reviews I've seen, but I actually really ended up liking this one! But then again, I'm a huge sucker for comics and for food so this one was a perfect match for me.

DNF - the art style was off-putting to me, and the story didn't grab me in the first issue. There are other food-related comics out there that I personally find more interesting.

I was into it, then it just ended, and it doesn’t look like more are coming out. I like the concept, but was left wanting more.

Flavor combines a food comic with a hunger games like dystopian world where there is something lurking outside the community's grounds, and only a select few will ever know of said things existence.
A young girl cooks in her family's restaurant, while she is not trained, or licensed, she has to do it in order to pay their way--her parents are injured and she is the only one in the family who can work. Until her uncle comes into town and signs her up for the cooking competition.
The stakes are high, the money used to pay for the competition completely bankrupts the family.
Will she be able to handle the pressure, or are she and her family out the money forever?

I'm really into culinary graphic novels now, I guess. This was lovely - a richly drawn fantasy setting full of intrigue, some great characters (with one of the best dog companions ever), and some great art. This feels a lot like the Ba Sing Se arc of The Last Airbender but with food instead of elemental magic, and that's...pretty awesome. Interested to see where the story goes.
