For his first case with the F.D.A., Tony samples and identifies the finger of Evan Pepper, a missing health inspector. While investigating the missing inspector, Tony encounters Amelia Mintz -- and falls instantly in love. The investigation takes Tony and Mason to a sushi restaurant. Tony tries to make inquiries, but Yakuza thugs attack, only to be quickly put down by Mason.
Publisher’s description
It's Tony Chu's first day on the job as a federal agent for the FDA, the most powerful law-enforcement agency on the planet. He's got a new partner who thinks he knows everything, a boss who hates his guts for no good reason, and his first order of business is to eat a decomposing finger found in a fast food cheeseburger. By the end of the day, Tony will ingest rancid sushi, face Yakuza assassins and meet the girl of his dreams. It's all in a day's work for Tony Chu, in the latest chapter of 'Chew,' a deliciously unsettling new comic about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibal and clairvoyants.
