Chef Page #4

"is the caviar egg.

"A shirred egg topped

with a dollop of caviar

"is an excuse for the

chef to overcharge us

"for his insecurity and

lack of imagination.

"Carl Casper can best be summed

up by the first bite of his needy

"and yet by some miracle

also irrelevant

"chocolate lava cake.

"Casper didn't even have the

courage to undercook the cake,

"thus curiously lacking its

signature molten centre."

"This sad dessert is emblematic

"of Carl Casper's

disappointing new chapter.

"His dramatic... weight

gain can only be explained

"by the fact that he must be eating

"all the food sent

back to the kitchen."

Two stars.

I don't get it. I don't get it.

Everyone loved it.

He loved it, even.

Then Why'd he write all that mean

sh*t about me? About my food?

Who cares? Who cares?

I do. 'Cause I could

have done better.

I should have cooked the

sh*t I was gonna cook.

You're ignoring the fact

that everyone was happy

and you're making a problem

where there's no problem.

It's not hard to make people happy.

There's certain things you could put on

a menu that'll make everybody happy.

If you put ahi tuna on a

menu, it will sell out.

It's guaranteed. You know that.

But I cooked the beef cheek,

which is a better dish,

and nobody wants to even try it.

- It was good, though.

- Yeah, for family meal.

Well, who you cooking for, though?

That's my point.

Why do I have to pick?

Why do I have to choose?

Why can't I have both?

There are chefs that cook

food that they believe in

and people will try because

they're open to a new experience

and they'll end up liking it.

- What do you want me to say to you?

- The truth.

You want me to tell you

that you're the best chef

that I ever worked with.

And it's true, because you are.

You are, Carl. You are the best

chef I've ever worked with.

- OK.

- I mean it.

Well, thank you.

You're welcome.

- We both agreed not to do that.

- I know.

Why don't I just

cook you something?

Oh, OK. F*** it. Let's go.

Mmm!

Mom wants to talk to you.

Inez?

Inez.

Are you OK?

I got two stars.

Getting two stars is good, right?

I mean, I don't read that

sh*t normally, but, you know,

then he starts writing all this

personal sh*t about me and...

How many people you got working?

You got, like, 50 people.

And Percy's 10 years old.

Does he still need a nanny?

He's in school all day. What does

she even do here? Hi, Flora.

- Hi, Mr Carl.

- I mean, what does he need...

- What's she doing here?

- You know that he's hurt, right?

Because I was late? I already

apologised to him. We're fine.

Late? He waited for you for

one hour alone outside.

Well, I didn't realise

it was that long.
