Even for someone as integral to the system as Frankie, information comes in crumbs, not mouthfuls. The "who's" and the "what's" of the business are rarely divulged; his part is not to ask questions, just carry out orders--a task which he does quite well, in both the culinary and the criminal sense.
Following a delicious meal, the "Boss" has been known to assign jobs instead of providing tips. Directions can come just like that. Sometimes Frankie finds it hard to know when he's in one world or the other...
But maybe the two aren't so mutually exclusive. Death doesn't normally appear on the menu but still manages to be dished out from time to time. As Mr. Calvino is about to discover, there are far worse things than heartburn or indigestion after dinner. One man's loss is just another man's success.
However, success doesn't always translate into appreciation. And for Frankie, that can be a tough meatball to swallow.

Wow Adam, that was the best one so far. You should publish these or something and make some good dough.
I loved it. All the puns were just right (not too cold, not too hot)! Adam, you amaze me. I agree with Kory, you should have this published...
Yes, find somewhere to get these published! And can you make them bigger so poor old gray-haired blind people can see all the gory details!
I'm sorry if the images are so small on this one. That's the largest it would let me make them. I tried a couple different ways when I was putting it together, but this is just how it came out.
