[Porto]

A woman, Porto, walks into a bar in a gentrifying neighborhood of a major city a lot like Bushwick. She is known there. This bar has serious food. Doug the Bartender serves up a mean cocktail. Hennepin, a hot guy and new to the bar, deliberates: mango thai or foie gras sausage? Doug the Bartender settles the debate. Porto’s friend Dry Sac, beautiful and bitter, arrives: Dry Sac eats nothing and drinks vodka by the gallon. Porto notices Hennepin. Hennepin does not notice Porto. Hennepin notices Dry Sac. Hennepin and Doug the Bartender discuss Dry Sac. Hennepin notices Porto. Raphael the Waiter falls in love with his own dream of the ideal woman.

Good times ensue, wrapped in a casing of food, sex, booze, and books. Gloria Steinem and Simone de Beauvoir visit Porto in the early morning to discuss feminism and the proper way to conduct an affair. Doug the Bartender and Dry Sac are up to something. We all want love, sex, and good food: but is it possible to enjoy the sausage once it is known how it is made?
