Bernie is a disaster when he tries to help out in his family's restaurant. Somehow, a shoe ends up in the soup, pasta ends up on the floor, and soap gets mixed up with cheese. When his father goes out of town, Bernie is sure that his disasters can only get worse. And they do! Monsters come to eat in the restaurant, ad they love Bernie's creations! In fact, soggy snake-gut sandwiches, hideous hog's hair souffles, and hearty underwear stew are their favorite dishes! Soon, the restaurant is a huge success. Now there's a new problem. What will Bernie's father think when he comes back and finds the restaurant is serving garbage instead of gourmet? This delightful turn-around tale with just the right "gross" factor will tickle the taste buds of readers throughout the year--and will be especially popular at Halloween time as a humorous alternative to scary stories.
