Being a chef isn’t bad, no, its not bad at all. Besides being able to order around all your minions and wear the biggest, puffiest hat; you get to be at the end of every plate. What I’ve learned from here is that it doesn’t matter what your dish tastes like, but if it looks really fancy, then you can charge as much as you want for it.

The chef gets to do most of this decoration…and just watching him work is amazing. He’s like a painter… He’s got his palette of thin bread sticks, dried breadfruit, all kinds of leafs and spices, twizzly things, cinnamon sticks, and cool little things that look like stars. Anyways, when the dish is ready it goes to him, and he goes to work on it. He studies the plate, then, like some manic artist he dots it with curry powder, maybe makes some design with caramel sauce, inserts breadsticks into anything that can hold them, puts twizzly things on top of the food, dabs some seaweed…. And, voila: Its completely transformed.
