Robert's brother Paul emerges from retirement in a local nut house and takes over the restaurant to dispense something he calls the "Transcendental Cuisine" ... Imperceptibly the quality of the food declines until he is serving literal garbage, the clients being too intimidated by the reputation of 'Chez Robert' to protest.

SAMPLE MENU:
The Clear Camel Piss Soup with boiled Earth Worms
-----
The Filet of Sun-Ripened Sting Ray
basted with Eau de Cologne and garnished with nettles
-----
The After-Birth Supreme de Boeuf
cooked in drained crank case oil, served with a piquant sauce of rotten egg yolks and crushed bed bugs
-----
The Limburger Cheese sugar cured in diabetic uring, doused in Canned Heat Flamboyant...

So the clients are quietly dying of botulism ... Then A.J. returns with an entourage of Arab refugees from the Middle East.
He takes one mouthful and screams:

"Garbage ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! Cook this wise citizen in his own swill!"
