Chapter 514 - Confrontation (1) (2/2)
“You don’t have to ask things like that The culprit is the kitchen here that has made us come to such a conclusion Honestly, this restaurant is so boring I think the reason Michelin gave three stars to this restaurant was because of its unique serving concept”
“Yeah, they didn’t just evaluate this restaurant with that only They inal concept to so come to your mind?” Kaya asked with a puzzled expression at his exclaht
He said in a dissident voice, “You and I have actually been to japan Don’t you think our experience affects our rating now?”
“Well, to some extent People who aren’t fah when they taste it I think that’s the saht feel it ly As a matter of fact, Michelin Guide throay stars to japanese restaurants just like they do the sa to European restaurants”
“Do I have to carry our conversation in Choters Guide along with our ratings?” Min-joon h He wondered if this kind of conversation could have a positive effect on this restaurant The purpose of Choters Guide was to help custoave the chefs a chance and way to improve
By the time Min-joon and Kaya received the dessert, they were extremely confused when they saw a plate ofitself looked so artistic, but there was nothing special when they looked inside it Maybe because of its Oriental style, this kind of dessert ht look more valuable than it actually was
‘Well, should I say that the guys at this restaurant are sht that this restaurantWesterners’ illusion of Orientalism Maybe the chef here didn’t aiht be close to Orientalism
Either way, Min-joon already sized up this restaurant fir a ree with you to some extent”
“The probleood sense of the Asian, or japanese dishes can regard this kind of dish served here as fresh and beautiful enough Is it okay for us to ignore their existing perceptions like that because of our own rating?”
“Well, we should evaluate it by our standards Isn’t it even weirder if we rely on others’ standards?”
“That’s true”
They kept exchanging views like that, but at that moment the head chef of Wasabi ca He was an old man who looked pretty stubborn
“Did you enjoy the dishes?” He asked
“Well…” Min-joon hesitated
“Nope To be honest with you, I was a little disappointed,” Kaya quipped without any hesitation
Unlike Min-joon who hesitated without answering iave her opinion Min-joon looked at her Kaya in surprise at that moment, but he didn’t blame her for that In fact, it was not Kaya, but Min-joon, as not doing their job right They were here as gourmets, and if so, they had to express their honest opinion in any situation
If they couldn’t give an honest evaluation, worried about offending the other party, who in the world can trust it? As aan inaccurate evaluation out of sy a dishonest evaluation because of one’s connections or so bribes Such chefs should not try publishi+ng any restaurant guide at all
Head chef Yoshi+ his expression
“You just said you were disappointed Can I ask…”
“Well, all the dishes you served tasted delicious I really felt that Chef Yoshi+moto was a really talented chef But at the same time, I wondered if you were too coht now, or a chef as just content with your past I don’t feel anything fresh or vital in your dishes So, I felt like your dishes were a corpse following its bygone legacy When did you trynew dishes last time?”
As someone who hly critical without any hesitation His sous chef, standing next to him, looked at her and his boss with a startled expression, while Min-joon was just resigned to the situation because she already spoke her mind Obviously, he seemed offended by her criticism
