Every Friday night, Louie visits his grandfather's Chinese restaurant. With Louie, we go "backstage" into the kitchen where deft chefs chop vegetables, deliveries are prepared, and waiters call out orders. Then it's off to the dining room where Grandpa orders a few dishes that don't appeal to Louie: whole fish on a platter and freshly boiled crabs, and a few that do: steamed dumplings and shrimp chow mein. Then Louie meets up with his friend, Franklin (from Rachel's previous book, Yo, Jo!) and Louie gets his fortune: "Happy food, happy belly, happy smile."
