Luna City Behind the 8 Ball

Welcome to Luna City, Karnes County, Texas … Population 2,456, give or take! Fugitive former celebrity chef Richard Astor-Hall is beset with travails in his attempt to build a new life in tiny Luna City - providing caviar cuisine on a canned tuna fish budget to patrons of the Luna Café and Coffee; an old girlfriend turns up as the bride at a lavish wedding, the family of his pet cat and cooking partner, Captain Kitten in the Kitchen, turn up, demanding the cat be returned to them … and his junior kitchen staff want his help in entering a chili-cooking contest! And then there is the matter of another long-lost artistic treasure, the Gonzaga Reliquary, which may still be hidden somewhere around the old Gonzalez family ranch house … folklore, home folks and gentle comedy abound in this eighth visit to the most perfect small town in Texas.
