Chapter 251
<A Chef’s Greed Has No End (4)>
“Wouldn’t want to be a regular…”
She didn’t expect anything good, but even this orse than what she thought The word ‘regular’ stabbed her brutally in the heart
The food wasn’t even good enough for soh to be a one-ti really special…
All kinds of thoughts swirled in her head like a violent tsunah this several tih to be hurt by words like this
“Why is that?”
That’s why she could respond so calmly Minjoon poked the dish with his fork
“This isn’t a dish for a customer It’s a dish for a critic That is, a dish that would only get points in a azine”
“Why?”
“It’s too complicated”
Minjoon looked at the dish with a coood about this The advice he had for her also applied for hiht to tell her this But if it was for her, he did
“Ginger-potato creaer They both taste radically different despite both being er I’ue just ends up getting confused as it tries to analyze it”
“That’s what I was going for I thought that chaos would get neutralized by the pork I got good reviews about it as well But how is this a dish for critics?”
Minjoon closed his s were difficult even for hiood
“It’s empty”
“…Empty?”
“It’s just over the top Tasty, sure Makes you think ‘ah, this is a complex dish’ Not even critics would be able to tell exactly what this dish is about”
“And you can?”
“…Huh Now that you’ve said it, I can I wonder why?”
Minjoon asked the question with a confused look Deborah had the ‘of course you would’ look on her face, but Minjoon knew better than anyone that he wasn’t actually a supertaster
‘…Is it because I always thought about things like this?’
He’d have to take his ti about this matter for a while, but for now he couldn’t ht coure out what this flavor is supposed to be They’d then realize how there’s no ‘center’ to this dish at all To say that the center of the dish is the ginger is a bit… You’ve expanded a little too much People would realize that this dish doesn’t actually have any depth in it, and…”
“H-hold on Hold on You’re co at me a bit too fast now Can we take a break?”
Deborah asked with a saddened expression Minjoon just smiled tiredly at her
“It’s just one sentence But we can rest if you’d like”
“If it’s just one… Fine, go for it”
“Nor out about that flavor will never coain Either way, your dish just doesn’t grip people at all It’s just fancy I feel like you aren’t trying to be a Michelin starred restaurant, but trying to imitate one”
“…That’s not even one sentence”
“Sorry, I’rin Deborah just lowered her head annoyedly She wasn’t actually mad at Minjoon She was just ree with hi to show this to Rachel and ask for help…”
“You’re going to get your ass beat”
“You still want to make fun of s are usually good for you”
“Your words aren’t bitter They just hurt”
Deborah exclaimed with a saddened tone Minjoon wordlessly took a bite of the ood to her right there? Why did it feel like Minjoon was fully appreciating the value of her dish right there?
“It’s a little spicy and bitter Maybe it’s because of the ginger?”
“What do you mean? I’d love it if you were a littlethat even this dish could be medicine for you”
“What…”
As Deborah was saying so It was the end of break time Minjoon turned to look at Deborah
“Outsiders are forbidden fro work I’ll see you later today”
Deborah ended up exiting the kitchen with a surprised look She looked back at the kitchen with an annoyed face froh…”

Unfortunately, Minjoon was unable to talk with Deborah again until the next day Deborah sighed inside Minjoon’s car
“I hate sitting next to beginner drivers”
“Hey, I can’t give youof which, isn’t America weird? Why would you need your own car to take the driver’s license test?”
“I ht as well test in it”
“But ould you even get a license if you don’t have a car to begin with?”
“You have a point”
After passing the written test, one would have to bring their own car to the testing area for the driving test With a 25 year old sitting next to the driver in the front seat Minjoon couldn’t really find people like that around hi
“Maybe the reason why you caet this license”
“…You’re telling me I’m that kind of a side character?”
“You’re not an extra Licenses are iot it thanks to you”
“Thanks to ood Did you drive back in Korea?”
“Pretty much”
It was actually thanks to his experience from when he was thirty, but he didn’t need to talk about that Minjoon looked at Deborah from the corner of his eye Her cheeks were swollen The woht
“Don’t look at me too much You’ll fall for me”
“Kaya’s prettier anyway”
“You think husbands of models cheat because they find prettier woin with?”
“Kaya was voted the second prettiest chef in Aet, Deborah?”
“…That only applies to celebrity chefs”
“Doesn’t mean it’s any less credible”
