Fermat's Cuisine Episode 4

Be a pro Gaku

This episode let the best chefs focus on a menu for a specific food critic. Their restaurant always received high praise. However, it always lacked the highest praise of critic wanting to frequent restaurant. Here Ranna shares a bit of her knowledge with Gaku. To believe in a flavor rather than analyze every individual customer. Make your dish great for customers yet to be seen. He learns she doesn’t go out to guests because prior experience soured her to their comments about women chefs. She knew her dishes would be appreciated more and evaluated higher if they thought she was male. Gaku learned only 1% of female chefs made it and pointed out she was alone in this kitchen. Circumstances had them meet in a Chinese restaurant where they tried one of the specials. They both came away with ideas. Kai gave specific chefs lead on the courses and Gaku was given appetizers. After Ranna helped him realize he needed to please more than food critic he blindly chose figs. He figured a unique way to prepare it and the critic was impressed. However, in spite of the rave review Gaku failed to have it complement the soup coarse. What was supposed to invite the diner to a grand experience was ruined by the clash of the first two coarses. After adjusting the liquid to a sauce on top, he retained all the flavors and complemented the next dish. Ranna’s lamb packed the punch she wanted and Kai talked the critic to try revised appetizer. This won them the coveted want to frequent comment. At the end of the episode Ranna drops an unexpected bomb. She told Gaku that this was her mother’s restaurant and that three years ago Kai had stolen it. Jaw dropping end of episode.🤯
