Creating a perfect meal is a combination of art, science, and a lot of trial and error. Chef is asked to make a dinner of red snapper, and calls on his devotion to craft, and insistence, by both himself and his master, on absolute perfection. The most accurate measurements, the perfect stroke of basting brush, the exact slice of the sharpest knife.  Such is his devotion, that he will sacrifice his own flesh to it. Hunger can wait.
