Chapter 272 - Geek (3) (2/2)
What Jeina picked up this time was a sandith the uette While enjoying it slowly, she narrowed her eyes with pleasure
‘Man, this is what they want…’
She felt her pride was hurt, but she had no choice but to admit that this was the dish suitable for Rose Island, called the best restaurant in the United States In fact, she was quite impressed with its delicious taste when she ate a piece of it, but this time, she was much more impressed
Of course, it didn’t mean she was particularly impressed with this portion of the dish, compared with the earlier one, but she could still feel the difference in the taste, which was a delight, fun, and a beauty itself
Paul also felt the same way It was a fresh dish It was not the taste of the dish itself It clearly brought out the taste of the different parts of the dish clearly, so he could enjoy the difference in taste
Paul asked himself, ‘I wonder if he is really Chef Rachel Rose’s student, or he was superbly qualified as a chef’
He pondered for a moment to solve that question And the answer to his question was simple
Min-joon was both A seasoned craftsemstone If there was only one of them, it would be difficult to create such a pretty jewel-like dish
Jeina asked in a weary voice, “Has Rose Island been like this all along?”
“Well, I’m not sure what you o to a restaurant, I as like, ‘Okay, let’s see what kind of food they’re serving here’ But I feel solike, ‘Okay, let me see if you can really understand our cuisine’ Paul, you said it’s a good place to eat, but I don’t think it’s not It’s kind of a testing place where they want to check our own gastronomic level”
“It’s not unreasonable you think that way If you are not knowledgeable enough, it’s hard to understand Rose Island’s cuisine”
“How is it possible we have a restaurant like this in America?”
As if she could not understand, Jeina started staring at the plate now What she felt while visiting lots of restaurants in the United States was that they were not better than those in Europe European gastronomy puts astronouideline in her ourmet, but she was as stubborn as a mule at worst
To her, American restaurants were like children without their parents, deprived of authenticity under the name of modernism But Rose Island was different They were unbound by any particular concept or authenticity, but at the same time, they kept the top-class taste
Usually, restaurants that belong to this category would bring out a uous dishes,
But Rose Island was an exception because they served this particular dish today, which astronoinning”
“Then, how?”
“At first, they were persecuted by the gourmets a lot because they didn’t pursue authentic cuisine There were gourmet critics who even said it was the shaave up their way They didn’t break their stubbornness At the end of the day, they got wide recognition”
“They were persecuted?”
“Yes Isn’t it funny? Then and now, Rose Island served similar dishes But they were persecuted back then, and they are praised as the best restaurant in Aly
Then he said while looking at the plate, “Whenever I feel like I’ conceited, I always think of that episode In other words, the royal road is not always the right answer Those gourrade restaurant were helplessly humiliated a few years later They were harshly criticized by the public for their shallow review”
“Well, that’s not rare these days If any restaurant is given a new positive review, those who gave it a bad review turned out to be third-rate gourmets, after all, because of their ridiculous reviews”
“Evaluating a chef’s dishes is like evaluating his lifetime In other words, our comments in a couple of lines can make the chef’s life just worthless in an instant And sometimes, it can kill a chef…”
Paul’s expression looked quite gloomy when he said that
At that moment, Jeina suddenly recalled Paul’s old episode He dropped the star of the restaurant that was in for Michelin evaluation by leaving a review that harshly criticized the restaurant for its lack of change, let alone ied himself in the kitchen
“I don’t think it was yourso You’re really kind But you know, there is none who can forgive e if I need to be forgiven or not So, be careful when you review What you’re evaluating is the dish, but you have to keep inabout hi you should be critical, but my point is you should think seriously and deeply”
“Sure, I’ll keep it inboring I’ a joke
Then he asked again, “So, what’s your impression of the dish here? Do you feel you can like this restaurant?”
“I feel like I’ a medieval lady with a smartphone”
“It’s a very esoteric evaluation”
“And…” She hesitated for awhether to say it or not
When she opened her mouth, however, there was no hesitation in her voice
