Chapter 231 (2/2)
”It's not talent”
Raphael butted into the conversation He looked at the surprised chefs around hiood with just talent You need to get hurt prepping and whatnot to get a feel for what the knife really is like And to be that good disood”
”But chef Minjoon's never worked in a restaurant, has he? There's no way he's gotten that good at home!”
”Who knows Maybe he practiced with play-doh?”
The chefs all collectively i play-doh in a dimly lit room As they all turned to look at him with eyes of pity, they noticed that the ht next to it was a ood”
Janet immediately coated it with flour They didn't have to cook it now What was iredients to be served with it
Minjoon took out the pickled persian cucu flours into it, Janet put down the green curry and goat cheese sauce on the plate The dish would be complete once they fried the surface of the fish and put it on Just soing to have one hell of a time”

The critic didn't at all look nervous as he entered the restaurant He looked confident Maybe excited He grinned as he stroked his fat chin
”I'm honored that chef Rachel of all people would send out a challenge to me”
”Well, I did invite you, but I wouldn't call it a challenge”
Rachel's eyes drifted over to theup a phone, filh
”Hahaha, this is my assistant I just wanted to film this occasion It's pretty special, after all”
”We wouldn't need the phone, then”
”What?”
Jasper looked at Rachel with a curious face Instead of responding, Rachel looked up Jasper followed suit, and i massive cameras one would use at a TV station
”Hahaha… A Looks like the ones that come out on TV” Jasper sounded much more subdued than before
”That's because they are” Rachel responded
”…What?”
Jasper's face paled even more Rachel continued casually
”Two oftoday So about an update after Grand Chef season 5 The two rushed over after I told theht it'd be fun”
”I see”
Jasper gave hi To think that he'd just land himself on a TV show just like that, all thanks to Rachel…
Rachel didn't even allow Jasper tiuest here, after all
”Come, I'll lead you to your seat”
”There's no customers here? It's lunch, isn't it?”
It was supposed to be an attack of sorts, but Rachel just brushed it off
”We aren't doing lunch here any out the chefs far toothem needless tasks all the time”
She didn't even need to mention that one of the said ”needless tasks” was this one Jasper turned red with anger, but he wasn't able to find any words to hit back with
”Jasper, should I keep fil?”
”Shut it Take the phone away”
Jasper answered with an embarrassed face and sat down He put the napkin on his lap in one smooth movement He pretended to look as relaxed as possible
”A three course meal, correct?”
”Try to see if you can tell who made each dish I'rinned Why did that grin look so cruel to him? Jasper cleared his throat nervously
”Like I said, what matters more is the fact that some of the dishes weren't made by you…”
”The food is here”
Two plates were put in front of him just like that One of the dishes had thinly cut tofu floating in so with a pink sashi+mi, topped with caviar, tendon, and cilantro The other plate had a massive piece of scallop topped with so in Jasper's head
'The sashi+astronomy stuff applied to it… Is it by chef Rachel, then? Yeah, it's not like she'd know a lot about it at her age It has to be hers So that jelly stuff must be by the demi chefs How obvious,'
As soon as he put the dish in his mouth, he became even more sure There was no way so so subtle and delicious Jasper smiled confidently
”This has to be yours!”
”The reason being?”
”There's no way a de as subtle and deep as this It tastes very interesting even without the help of astronomy Only someone like you can be capable of that”
Rachel's face stiffened, whicheven faster in excitement
”This is why I said all dishes in the restaurant has to be ood food, but they definitely can't i like this! Do you understand why I was playing the role of a villain now?”
”I don't”
”Haha, of course you d… what?”
”I don't knohat you're talking about”
Rachel pointed at the dish
”I didn't make that”
