A young aspiring chef invents creative (and revolting) culinary delights. While his big sister insists that "no one in the whole universe would eat" his concoctions, extraterrestrial visitors come to sample such delicacies as toothpaste soup and turnip-side-down cake. The silliness of McElligott's story is matched by his muted ink, pencil, and digital illustrations of goofy-looking aliens eating wacky cuisine.
