Culinary Art: An Interview with Jarrett Melendez

Chef’s Kiss, his celebrated graphic novel, is an adorable piglet named Watson.Watson is an evolved being, essentially, with a palate beyond the ordinary, and he serves as the ultimate “taste-tester and head of quality control” for the restaurant in which Ben, the novel’s gay protagonist, is discovering his not-so-hidden talent for creating fabulous dishes.At the same time, Ben is also discovering his feelings for co-worker Liam, and the book spends a lot of time in “will-they, won’t-they?” territory as their romance gently simmers to a boil.“I wanted it to be a slow burn,” says the 38-year-old from his home in Massachusetts.
