Fermat's Cuisine Episode 10

Do your best

This episode gave all the feels. Kai returned, but the other chefs were no in a forgiving mood. None wanted to cook or eat anything Gaku had a part in. Kai and Goku had their four courses planned. The mentor made the bargain that if any did not move him that Kai would never cook again…and Kai agreed. When I heard this I was annoyed at the arrogance of the mentor. Who gave him the right to have so much power over someones\’s destiny? I was equally annoyed at Kai for accepting the bargain. Was he really going to end up an herb farmer?😝Magoroku was the only one that actually asked what they were cooking. He realized the importance of it and backed his friend by persuading all of them to show up. Kai was physically worn out from the travel and planning stages of the meal. His chefs rallied with him to create the next level meal. The mentor quietly ate all four courses and then called Gaku and Kai to the kitchen. He then prepared his famous dish for Gaku who had never tried it. Gaku was transported by the flavors and apologized to Kai for failing to surpass the god. Here the mentor surprised me some. He discovered that when the door opened to next level that the path continued to infinite doors. That the both had cooked delicious meals and that was enough. Gaku got in his face a bit and asked if that was all he had to say to Kai. He asked Gaku what he was thinking after he had tried the dish. His response..how to make it better. Exactly…the mentor said that once Kai went there he had successfully surpassed his god. That his food was delicious and he loved it. He went on to describe his finding and keeping Kai as his apprentice and had become a son to him. He said it was a fear of letting him go and watching him be sick that made him believe Kai shouldn’t cook. But now he knew he would not be alone so he could leave after charging Gaku to take care of his son.He looked Kai in the eye and told him to do his best.🥰 it was a very touching father/son/best friend moment. After the meal the chefs wished each other to do their best. They each had a destiny to fulfill to make them the chefs they were meant to be. This left Kai and Gaku alone but they are doing well. They have a little hole in the wall restaurant that only certain customers know about. The three girls are keeping an eye on their guys😂 And may Director Saimon never cross their doorway. 😝 This was a very fun journey to watch. The actors and production staff did an excellent job and the audiences was moved with all their efforts. If you enjoy cooking shows this gives a different perspective that focuses more on the chefs than the dishes. I found this a very interesting perspective.
