How I Found Harry's All-Night Hamburgers, by Lawrence Watt-Evans

[Asimov's]
★★★★☆ Fascinating, Memorable, Inexorable

(Multiverse; Harry's All-Night Hamburgers) A private detective tries to find a source for a device that makes you feel really good when you hold it. So good he can’t think of anything else. A device that’s out of this world. (8,888 words; Time: 29m)

This is a sequel to “Why I Left Harry’s All-Night Hamburgers,” which won the Best Short-Story Hugo Award in 1988. That’s a great little story, and worth the 99¢ Amazon charges for it, but there’s no need to read it to enjoy this one.
