John accepts bionic reconstruction of his face in exchange for working as an F.D.A. agent. Mike Applebee takes particular glee in pairing Tony and John as partners. Applebee sends the agents to investigate a bank robbery where the perpetrator left a pile of fecal material. The agents make a side trip to visit D-Bear -- just for old-time's sake. John processes a boatload of data, deduces the perpetrator, and the boys make the collar. But at the crime scene, Tony tastes the chicken gumbo and finds something unexpected.
Publisher’s description
Tony Chu's jerk boss: Agent Chu, go eat that. Tony Chu: That's the grossest thing ever. I'm not gonna eat that. Tony Chu's new partner: I got an idea. We're detectives, right? Lie to your boss, and let's solve this old school - before your boss figures out you lied to him and makes you eat the grossest thing ever! Presenting the first chapter of 'International Flavor,' the globe-trotting second story arc in the inexplicably well-received comic about cops, crooks, cooks, cannibals and clairvoyants!
