“Is it true she put so much Habanero pepper in it?”
“Yeah, It’s awful a while ago, but I’m a little better now. I really didn’t feel any taste no matter what I put in my mouth. My tongue burned with red peppers.”
“I know you like spicy food.”
“It’s not spicy. My tongue was numb!”
“Wow, she kicked your butt! I’m afraid you might be on a very short leash when you get married.”
“Let’s stop it because I feel depressed.”
Min-joon lowered his head with a sullen look.
Maya was giggling at him when Havier approached him with a serious expression.
He said, “Hey, guys, did you see that?”
“What are you talking about? How do we know when you ask like that?”
“There was a gourt blog post about Rose Island. But I hear the review is not good.”
Given his expression, who always tried to be positive and happy, it seed that the review was really bad.
Min-joon asked him sharply, “Can you show that blog?”
“Well, if you haven’t seen it yet, you had better not see it. It’s Christmas.”
“Show it to .”
Havier hesitated but eventually showed Min-joon his smartphone.
Min-joon silently looked at the title and article of the blog.
Rose Island, not all the recipes are Rachel Rose’s original idea
“It sounds okay, doesn’t it?” Said Min-joon.
“Keep reading. Then you’ll find out,” Havier replied, shrugging.
Min-joon continued to read the article. The writer explained about various cuisines before ntioning what Havier pointed out.
“Well, I don’t know what to say,” said Min-joon.
Min-joon frowned. If he had cursed him, he would not have been so annoyed.
The gourt was venting his anger at Rachel, not the demi chefs. Min-joon felt upset about the way the gourt tried to give the impression that Chef Rachel was irresponsible.
There were nurous comnts by the blog readers on his provocative criticism of Rachel.
└ Pixie Goulding: I just wonder how co this guy Jasper is a gourt. How can people like him with years of dining experience say this? Where in this world will you find a restaurant where the head chef alone makes all the nus? If they do that, sous chefs as well as demi chefs will have lots of complaints.
└ Abraham Dunkin: What’s wrong with that? Aside from general restaurants, custors going to Rose Island are naturally curious about Rachel’s dishes, aren’t they?
└ Pixie Goulding: @Abraham Dunkin Do you an that just because the custors are expecting Rachel’s dishes, should they ignore the established practices of the restaurant? That’s a very anachronistic idea.
└ Abraham Dunkin: @Pixie Goulding They should not forget they are serving custors with the dishes they like, not vice versa.
└ Daniel Hornes: @Abraham Dunkin Restaurants are like a country. The head chef is the king. Rather than going out on the battlefield directly, the king’s job is to bring out the skills of a good general as much as possible. The king doesn’t have to plan all the tactics by himself.
└ Joseph Moodie: Looks like this blogger attacked Rose Island to beco famous because his article will draw lots of attention.
└ Oberyn Martell: I think so. Honestly, all the nus at the old Rose Island were not necessarily Rachel’s, but this blogger’s criticism went too far.
“Dang it. They are hotly exchanging comnts like that in the chatroom,” said Havier.
“Fortunately, there are many more comnts that blad the blogger’s unreasonable comnt,” said Min-joon, “Of course, his article is ridiculous. When Chef Rachel put the demi chefs’ recipes on the nu, it’s because she felt they were flawless as Rose Island’s nu. We all know she did help us so much until we made our dishes perfect, right? I really can’t stand it anymore. Can I post a comnt, too?”
“Are you going to post a comnt under your na?” Asked Havier.
Min-joon did not answer. However, looking at his sharp gaze, it looked like he was going to post a strong comnt. After all, he was stubborn as far as this kind of issue was concerned. He didn’t want to hide behind an anonymous na.
But Havier said with a sigh, grabbing his shoulder, “Be patient. You might make the issue bigger by posting it. So, just give it a pass.”
“Well, base on my experience, this kind of thing will make matters worse when you don’t take any action.”
“If you really want to do sothing about it, get Rachel’s approval first. Don’t forget you’re a mber of this restaurant now.”
Havier was right. Min-joon handed the smartphone back to him and squatted down hysterically. When Havier let out a sigh, Min-joon also sighed and leaned back into the chair.
“Man, you’re going to break the chair, sitting like that. What’s wrong with you?”
“Oh, Janet. Are you here?”
Havier hardened his expression the mont he said hi to Janet.
Casting a quick glance at her, Min-joon frowned, “Did you drink?”
“Yes, just a little bit at dawn.”
“You seed to have drunk a lot. I can sll it even here.”
“It’s because I get easily drunk. I only drank so beer. I’m completely sober. I guess the sll will go away within a few hours. Oh, Anderson. Thank you last night.”
Janet gently greeted them then headed to the changing room.
Min-joon and Havier turned their heads to Anderson imdiately.
Min-joon asked with a trembling voice, “Anderson, you went out to et her last night…”
“Man, when did you start drinking last night?”
“Shut up! Don’t think like that.” Anderson frowned.
As if he was astonished, Min-joon mumbled feebly, “When and Kaya told you the sa thing, you must have felt bad.”
“Well, I had a call from the bartender that Janet was drunk last night, asking to take her ho if I am her friend.”
“Why did the bartender call you?”
“You know, my na starts with A. Maybe it was at the top of her contact list.”
Although Min-joon was in doubt, his excuse was plausible.
As if he wanted to pursue more, Min-joon asked again, “Then why didn’t you tell who you t?”
“Because I knew you guys would react like this. Got it? Stop asking and start preparing dinner.”
“Alright.”
Min-joon shrugged and headed to his kitchen table. Thanks to Anderson’s episode, Min-joon could forget for a mont the displeasure he got from the blogger’s critical comnt on Rachel.
He murmured, “That gourt… I thought he was my friend.”
All the gourts Min-joon t so far have been favorable to him. They had no reason to pick a fight with soone like him with a perfect palate. But this gourt was an exception. Of course, he was not critical of Min-joon, but this was the first ti he heard such a critical comnt indirectly from the gastronomic world.
‘… I might be a burden to my teacher.’
“Chef Min-joon looks full of spite.”
Antonio muttered as if he was astonished by Min-joon’s rough attitude.
Anderson glanced at Min-joon quickly. Looking at his fierce eyes, Anderson felt like Min-joon was a soldier facing an upcoming war.
Anderson frowned, taking the bacon out of the oven.
“Who boiled it so much?”
“Really? I think it’s just right.”
“Who told you to make bacon chips like this? If I eat this with potato chips, I can’t even tell potato from at. Make it again.”
“What about this?”
“You eat it all. If you throw it away, I’ll kill you. That’s your al for today.”
Antonio moved the overcooked bacon to another plate with a sullen expression.
The mont Anderson sighed and turned his head, he was startled because Rachel was watching him, grinning at him.
“Now you look like an official chef.”
“Are you telling not to be angry by saying so?”
“No, you know I’m not that tricky as a person. I’m serious. The better a chef, the more harsh his temper is.”
“I can’t really agree with it because you have such a nice personality.”
“Hahaha, it looks like you are good at flattering . By the way…”
She glanced at Min-joon quickly.
She asked Anderson in a slightly puzzled voice, “What happened last night? Min-joon doesn’t look good.”
“It wasn’t last night, it happened a mont ago. A gourt made a critical comnt on Rose Island. You know. Min-joon is used to sobody’s complints rather than sobody’s swearing.”
Among other Grand Chef perforrs, Min-joon was the least harassed by online haters. Of course, he was harassed by so racists, but he could comfortably dismiss their comnts without feeling offended at all.
So, he must have been hurt by the blogger’s criticism because he could not find any single gourt who was not favorable to him until now. How much shocked would he be when he learned that his allies began to show their true colors and attack him?
