Darn it.
(THREE-STAR RESTAURANT, LA CUISINE DE LA REINE)
Excuse me! The ingredients are here, please lend me a hand.
Hey, you'll trip if you keep running around...
Excuse me. The ingredients are here.
Let's go.
- Yes. - Yes.
The Burgaud Challans ducks are here.
I'll move that.
Thank you.
(SOUS CHEF, OKUDERA KENJI)
As expected, this is the highest quality Burgaud Challans duck.
With this,
we can make the best sweet and sour roasted duck with Guinea pepper.
I'm sure Kakitani-sama will be happy too.
- George, come here. - Yes.
Excuse us.
What on Earth is this?
Venison?
Let's begin.
(CHEF DE CUISINE, HOSHINO MITSUKO)
- Prepare the ducks. - Yes, Chef.
No, today's main dish is venison.
Roast this high quality venison and serve it to the VIP.
Prepare the venison.
Yes, Chef.
Chef, here's your cutlery.
La Cuisine de La reine has been awarded three Michelin stars...
for several years now.
And it's very difficult to make a reservation at your restaurant.
Thank you.
Please have a seat.
Shinoda-san, you were a business consultant...
and you revived Public Air which was near bankruptcy in Japan.
Why did you switch to the food industry all of a sudden?
I've always enjoyed delicious food,
so I'd like to apply my know-how learnt in business consulting...
to establish the very best restaurant there is.
And for a partner in this,
you headhunted Chef Hoshino, who was working at...
a two-star restaurant in France.
Yes.
Bring me a pot.
Yes.
Excuse me, is there a bigger bowl?
Yes.
Will this be okay?
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Yes.
You're already recording from the preparation stage?
Every procedure of Chef Hoshino's new menu...
must be recorded in detail and saved on the computer.
It's orders from the owner.
(MAITRE D'HOTEL, NAGANUMA SEIICHI)
Even from other parts of the world, top female chefs are rare.
That's because to become a chef, one has to go through...
a tough training period which challenges your physical strength.
But Chef Hoshino made it as she's strong mentally and physically.
And she had created various novel dishes from a woman's perspective.
I knew a collaboration with her...
would be my shortest path towards a three-star restaurant.
A genius chef and a charismatic business consultant.
It's the strongest combination.
Would you like to take some photos of our kitchen?
Of course!
You'll witness the preparations of...
the highest quality Challans duck prepared for our VIP today.
Sir!
Regarding that...
The main dish for the VIP is supposed to be duck.
We're having the food critic, Kakitani Hideyuki-sama, tonight.
We've already informed him about the menu...
Have you ever seen such a nice venison?
Right on the day deer season started,
I came across such a great ingredient. How lucky!
Kakitani-sama told us he would like to eat a delicious duck dish.
Compared to delicious duck, super delicious venison...
will make our customers happier.
No matter how delicious it is, venison isn't duck.
Only the very best ingredients have the right to be cooked.
I'm going to make West End sauce with the deer blood.
As for the wine, get me a Chinon from 2000.
Yes, Chef.
Prepare some Juniper berries and peppers too.
- Yes, Chef. - This is the best dish...
exclusively made by me which one only gets to taste today.
You're preparing ingredients and changing the menu at your own will.
Customers around the world are waiting for my dishes.
And I'm the owner of this restaurant.
And I'm the chef of this restaurant.
Kakitani-sama, I'm very sorry.
There has been a change in the menu today.
And...
regarding the matter we discussed, I'm counting on you tonight.
Yes. I'm counting on you.
Welcome. Do you have a reservation?
Excuse me?
I didn't make a reservation.
I apologise,
we're fully booked today. All our customers have reservations.
How about tomorrow?
Unfortunately, we're also fully booked tomorrow.
When will there be seats available?
I apologise,
but you'll have to wait three years.
- Three years? - Yes.
How was it?
Chef Hoshino, it's so delicious!
I'm glad to hear that.
Welcome, Madam.
Madam?
Chef, the shallots.
Chef, the coarse pepper.
Braise the bones with the sauce.
Yes, Chef.
Chef, please check this.
Perfect.
Very good. Lay it out for 10 minutes.
Yes, Chef!
Chef, the 2000 Chinon.
(SMOKE IT WITH STRAW.)
So you'll smoke it with straw?
Yes, Chef.
Her name is Hoshino Mitsuko.
A genius three-star chef who cooks top ingredients with her top skills.
However, a dangerous trap is waiting for her ahead.
Tonight is the beginning of many twists and turns she will face.
CHEF: Three Star School Lunch [Episode 1]
Subtitles by VIU
Ripped and resynced by gabbyu@subscene
Kakitani-sama, thank you very much for coming today.
It's finally the main dish, isn't it?
I've been looking forward to the very best duck dish.
Kakitani-sama...
I'm just joking.
I've explained it to everyone.
The main dish today...
is our chef's latest dish served exclusively to you.
Roasted venison, the Triumph of Joan of Arc.
I really look forward to it.
Let's start.
Let's eat.
(ROASTED VENISON, THE TRIUMPH OF JOAN OF ARC)
Most of my customers show this kind of facial expression.
They'll be in a daze and become speechless.
But after a while, all of them will smile and say...
I haven't tasted this kind of dish in a long time.
This is really delicious.
"This is really delicious."
You'll indeed unconsciously say it.
"This is really delicious."
Thank you.
I'd like to visit the restaurant too,
but I can't make a reservation at all.
That's true.
Today, we invited our special guest,
three-star chef Hoshino-san,
to discuss the problems with current school lunches.
(THE CURRENT CONDITION OF SCHOOL LUNCHES)
The leftover rate of school lunches are really high.
It's become a big problem now.
Many children don't finish their school lunch nowadays.
Chef Hoshino, what are your thoughts on it?
As a top chef, do you have any effective way to solve this?
Just make delicious school lunches.
Children don't finish their lunch because it tastes bad.
If you make a delicious lunch, there won't be any leftovers.
In other words, if Chef Hoshino made the school lunch,
there wouldn't be any leftover, right?
Of course.
But you've never made a school lunch before, have you?
If I were to make school lunches, it would be like putting...
Cristiano Ronaldo in a junior football team.
Key this into the computer.
What's the telephone number for an operator?
It's 104.
Sudo!
Yes!
Get rid of all this.
You don't like the new plan?
I found the best idea.
And it's worth trying. Hoshino Mitsuko.
If you would join us,
our restaurant would rise from two stars to three as well!
I'm very sorry, now...
I'll double your pay.
Double the pay...
We will double your annual pay.
Double?
Yes, double.
That's a big sum, you know? Are you serious?
I will be waiting for your reply with bated breath.
We will double your annual pay. Double!
Double?
Ouch!
- Sorry, Aunty! - Sorry, Aunty!
How energetic are you. That's nice.
Wow.
She's good.
Seriously?
A junior football goal post is too small for me.
Chef Hoshino!
Chef, what's going to happen to the restaurant now?
What will happen to us?
Pardon?
Everyone heard about it.
Goodness, everyone, stay calm.
Someone did say he would pay me double to work for him.
Of course I gave it some thought.
Just this month, I bought all the Burgundy wines...
I could get my hands on,
and I just bought the very best hunting rifle and shotgun.
But I'm not the kind of chef...
who bows to money.
So don't worry about it.
What are you talking about?
Aren't you talking about me getting headhunted?
No?
You haven't heard about it?
Last night,
Kakitani-sama and the others who ate your dish...
were hospitalised.
Pardon?
It was food poisoning.
No, food poisoning is absolutely impossible!
When I was cooking it,
I heated the venison to 75 Celsius, then cooked it for another minute.
Right, Okudera?
Yes.
Perhaps you made some mistake.
I didn't.
But Kakitani-sama suffered food poisoning after eating your dish.
There must be a mistake.
Luckily, it wasn't serious. Everyone is already recovering.
Kakitani-sama also said he won't make a fuss about it.
Hey, could this be some sort of revenge by Kakitani?
He confessed his love for me, but I turned him down completely.
He hates me for that, so this was what he did.
The restaurant will suspend operations temporarily.
You've destroyed our restaurant.
Do a thorough investigation. It's impossible.
I've decided to dismiss you.
Pardon?
What did you just say?
Hey.
Do you know what you're talking about?
You're the one who doesn't get the situation.
You cooked ingredients you had brought here on your own,
served them to VIPs and caused a massive food poisoning case.
Do you think this restaurant can make it without me?
I was awarded three Michelin stars.
The three stars isn't awarded to the chef,
it's to the restaurant.
You're going to regret this.
I know your cuisine very well and I highly regard it.
But it's has regretfully come down to this.
I see.
But you're going to regret it even more from now on.
My cuisine, which you highly regard,
will be served at another restaurant.
Farewell.
Please do not resign.
I'd like to cook under your guidance.
This restaurant only won the three stars because of you.
Please apologise to the owner.
Why must I apologise?
I'm sure something is fishy about the food poisoning.
I believe so too, but...
Okudera, come with me. Let's join another restaurant.
You're the most outstanding chef I've ever worked with.
Thank you for your compliments.
Think about it. I'll contact you once I've found a new place.
(EXCLUSIVE! THREE-STAR CHEF CAUSED MULTIPLE CASES OF FOOD POISONING!)
(MAY BE SEVERELY FINED)
But which restaurant should I join?
The food poisoning incident which happened...
at the world-renowned restaurant, La Cuisine de La reine,
has also caused a stir overseas.
It can't be.
I sincerely apologise for this incident.
Fortunately, the customers only suffered from light food poisoning,
and are already recovering.
How could such an incident happen...
at a world-renowned restaurant?
We were awarded the highest rank, three Michelin stars,
so we became arrogant.
Which dish caused the food poisoning?
That day,
we were supposed to use high quality duck imported from France.
However, Chef Hoshino used venison she hunted herself instead.
She insisted on preparing her new dish.
I was strongly against it,
but she ignored my objections...
and served the venison to the customers.
Do you mean Chef Hoshino was arbitrary...
and served a dish which caused the food poisoning?
Chef Hoshino is a very outstanding chef.
But a similar incident may happen again if she stays.
We've already dismissed her to prevent similar incidents.
This is a decision made with deep regret and grief.
So the food poisoning thing is nothing but nonsense.
Please be rest assured. I'm sure something went wrong.
(TWO-STAR RESTAURANT, FEMME CHÉRIE)
They just put the blame on me.
I'll accept your offer. At this restaurant...
I'm very sorry.
We've already found a candidate for the position of head chef.
Pardon?
Didn't you insist I join your restaurant?
It's a pity.
I'll make sure this restaurant gets three stars in half a year.
I'm very sorry.
We've already found a candidate for the position of head chef.
Pardon?
It's a pity.
I'm very sorry.
We've already found a candidate for the position of head chef.
Everyone is saying the same thing. This is so weird.
There's a rumour that you visited all the restaurants...
who had headhunted you to promote yourself.
You should have realised it by now.
It's taboo for a restaurant to hire a chef who caused food poisoning.
I told you that was...
Your name has been tarnished because of the food poisoning.
I don't think any restaurant will hire you. It's a pity.
Sir, I was at Chef Hoshino's side the whole time when she was cooking.
I think it is very unlikely she caused the food poisoning.
Hello!
Kakitani-sama, please have a seat.
Kakitani-sama, I apologise for what happened.
How are you now?
I still feel weak.
After all that has happened, me and my friends...
went golfing overseas to hide away from the public.
Golfing?
What about your food poisoning?
Was it all an act?
She was too egotistical. We put on a show to get her dismissed.
I was trying to be nice to her.
Hoshino Mitsuko is a genius.
But she ignores costs, buys the very best ingredients,
and changes the menu on her own. We won't survive if that continued.
That's why I made her disappear from the world of French cuisine.
I just wanted to lend Mr Shinoda a hand.
If our change in business practices succeeds,
I'm thinking of giving Kakitani-sama eight percent of our profit...
as a token of gratitude.
Okudera-san,
do you know why I'm telling you everything?
Why?
Food critics love Chef Hoshino's food,
and we've recorded all her recipes.
Okudera-san, you can easily make the dishes again yourself.
At the restaurant's new turning point, I'd like you to become...
the chef de cuisine of La Cuisine de La reine.
(BALANCE - 33 YEN)
It can't be.
Mitsuko, I can't.
The food poisoning is just a rumour.
Regardless, I can't recommend you to any restaurant.
I'm back.
(PAYMENT OVERDUE)
All right.
- Hello? - I apologise for bothering you.
I'm Yaguchi Saki, a producer at CNB Television.
I didn't cause the food poisoning.
Someone would really like you to work at their place.
They couldn't get in touch with you because you resigned,
so they called us to get your contact number.
Goodness! Really?
But I'm sure you've already found...
a new job, haven't you?
Well, I received too many offers,
so I'm hesitating about which restaurant to join.
I see.
But I'm willing to hear their offer.
It's a place with a lot of customers though.
I've always catered for many customers.
I've never cooked at a place that's not crowded.
Well then, I think you'll like that place.
This is your new workplace.
School lunches?
Chef Hoshino, do you know what's the most...
important thing in making school lunches?
I'm not interested.
Safety and reassurance.
School kitchens are cleaner and tidier than any restaurant,
and they operate under a strict hygiene management system.
This system eliminates all possibilities of food poisoning,
that's why they can hire you.
I'll say it again. The food poisoning is just a rumour!
There are 300 customers here.
You asking me to cook for children?
Chef, this is an opportunity.
An opportunity?
Just like what you said on TV,
make the most delicious school lunches for children.
When people see what you're doing, your credibility will rise again.
All the negative image caused by the rumour will be forgotten.
You were made a top star by the media, and punished by the media.
You should understand the power of the media very well.
As long as you succeed in this school lunch project,
your dream of returning to a three-star restaurant...
will be realised.
I'll do it. Okay, I'll do it.
- Start filming. - I'm already filming.
- Follow me. - Yes, Ma'am.
I'll make the most delicious school lunches there ever was.
But why school lunches?
Chef Hoshino said on TV just recently...
that students threw away school lunches because they tasted bad.
A hot tempered nutritionist then called in to complain. He said,
"That woman knows nothing about school lunches!"
"Who is she to comment about it?"
That nutritionist works at this school.
This project is going to be a hit.
(NOMURA FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. KIDS' FAVOURITE VEGETABLES)
Pardon me.
Hi.
Everyone, this is the chef who will join you...
in making school lunches from today on.
Hello, I'm Chef Hoshino Mitsuko.
Hey, I thought school lunches are usually made by women.
Why are they all men?
- Are you looking down on us? - Pardon?
Are you looking down on us?
Cool down.
I apologise. This guy is a little hot-tempered.
You're both assistant chefs, aren't you?
Yes.
The camera crew will be filming you as well,
so please introduce yourselves.
The headmistress is also doing this. Go on. Introduce yourselves.
Let's start from you.
- Me? - Yes.
I'm Ko...
I'm Ko... Komatsu...
I'm Komatsu Minoru!
I used to be a sumo wrestler.
A sumo wrestler? I love sumo!
Really? You should have told me earlier!
But I've never seen you before.
- What grade were you? - Sumo hot pot.
Sumo hot pot?
This guy was scouted because he was fit,
but he's afraid of confrontations, so he could only do tripping.
The coach gave up in the end and made him cook their food.
My sumo hot pot was well-received.
- My sumo wrestler hot pot... - I got it.
Your turn.
My sumo hot pot was well-received.
Minoru, keep quiet.
I'm Hidaka Masataka.
I used to sell dreams to women.
"Sell dreams to women"?
Even now, countless women need me.
Hidaka-san used to be a bar host.
They found out he was dating...
14 women at the same time, so they fired him.
My goodness!
Please introduce yourself.
Nice to meet you. I'm Baba Shoichi.
I used to be a bank employee.
As the Bank of Japan is applying the minus interest policy,
regional banks may have issues with low profits right now.
However, I don't think this problem can be solved...
by financing through guarantees...
and buying national bonds with idle assets.
I applied detailed marketing planning...
to propose an accurate asset operation plan.
It won the bank's approval.
What did you mean by "an accurate asset operation plan"?
Gambling.
My goodness.
He embezzled the bank's money for gambling and was sacked.
It's a predictable and reliable investment!
In case you haven't noticed, you're a gambling addict!
How rude! You're a shopaholic. Who are you to criticise me?
She's Inohara Toshiko-san.
And Hoshino-san, this is my private number.
This is so weird! Look at this useless group.
Can they really make proper school lunches?
Whatever. I'll revise the menu.
I'm the one who decides the menu.
Araki-san.
This woman is the one...
who boasted on TV and looked down on us.
Who are you?
He's Araki-san, the nutritionist.
He ran a small Japanese eatery, but it went bankrupt.
We used to always visit his eatery.
So you're the nutritionist.
Why is the menu decided by you?
Let me brief you on the task distribution rules here.
Araki-san, our nutritionist,
decides the menu every day based on the nutrition needs and the budget.
Your job is to cook the dishes decided by Araki-san.
And we're all your assistants.
Are you kidding me?
I'll decide the menu.
- What did you say? - I said, I will decide the menu...
What did you say on TV last time?
What did I say?
How dare you forget?
You said...
school lunches were being leftover because they tasted bad.
But that was the truth, wasn't it?
You made lousy school lunches,
so it's natural the students wouldn't finish them.
You know nothing. Who are you...
By the way, what's the school lunch today?
That's our lunch!
When you eat, you can imagine the look of the cook.
As expected, it tastes so bad.
You! I'll throw you out of the ring!
Nutrition is more important than taste.
Taste is the highest priority.
School lunches must be nutritious and within budget.
We need to produce many portions of the same food at the same time.
We make 324 school lunches daily for the kids and academic staff.
You must first abide by these rules.
Even a monkey can do that.
It's getting more and more interesting.
If you emphasise on nutrition so much,
why don't you just give them supplements?
Not a bad idea.
Supplements won't cause food poisoning.
That's right. Food Poisoning Chef.
Who are you calling Food Poisoning Chef?
Everything will be fine.
School lunches are done under an advanced hygiene management system.
There won't be any food poisoning again.
I told you I didn't cause any food poisoning.
For the first meal, make it Happy School Lunch...
and let Chef Hoshino make something freely.
What a joke! I'll throw you out of the ring.
Let's provide a three-star school lunch to the kids just this time.
The headmistress also approved it.
I pity the children at this school.
They've never tasted a delicious school lunch.
I'll have the children experience...
the true taste of food.
What's wrong with that arrogant woman?
What are you eating? You eat non-stop.
- I'm not eating! - You are!
Hoshino Mitsuko is such a beauty.
You really like arrogant women.
I'd like to get to know her more.
I heard from the producer...
that she's divorced, just like us.
As expected of you, Baba-san. You act fast!
Why did she get a divorce?
To realise her dream as a chef...
I apologise.
- Baba. - Yes!
- Go on. - Yes.
Hoshino Mitsuko... Well...
Before she headed to a country in western Europe,
she abandoned not only her husband but also her child.
She's just like Araki-san's wife, who left Araki-san and his son...
to realise her dream to be a designer...
in a country in Western Europe.
They're both indecent women.
Compared to them, Araki-san is such a great man.
Indeed.
He raised his son alone.
And Satoshi-kun is now working at a top enterprise.
Komatsu, here you go. I've sewn back your button.
Thank you.
Hoshino Mitsuko? She's nothing but nonsense.
(SIDE DISH. MAIN DISH. MILK. SOUP)
This is so delicious.
Yes, Sir!
Can I help you?
We're only reopening on the day after tomorrow.
Where's Hoshino-san?
She's been dismissed.
Which restaurant is she working at now?
I'm sorry. May I know who you are?
Never mind.
She's at a school.
Hoshino Mitsuko is now a school cook.
What kind of exercise is that woman doing?
A piece of advice.
What is it?
Don't ever mention the word "France" in front of Araki-san.
Why?
He holds a lot of grudges against all things French.
His eatery went bankrupt because...
a new French restaurant opened up next door.
That's none of my business.
If you must mention it,
just say "A country in Western Europe".
Why?
Anyway, everything French is prohibited!
How about their T-shirts?
(I'LL ANNOUNCE THE MENU NOW.)
(GREEK PICKLES FOR APPETISER, FOLLOWED BY CAULIFLOWER CREAM SOUP,)
(ROASTED COD AND BRAISED BEEF CHEEK MEAT IN BURGUNDY WINE.)
(AND THE DESSERT IS APPLE JELLY.)
This woman doesn't listen at all.
- Speak in Japanese. - I apologise.
I've done this for so many years...
that I spoke in French without noticing it.
Where should I put these?
- On the table, please. - Yes, Ma'am.
We didn't order these.
I did.
What's the budget of your meal for each person?
Well, with a special children's discount,
I'll give you a deal. About 3,000 yen per person.
Listen carefully.
The budget for each student's lunch is 240 yen.
240?
You used up two weeks worth of the budget in the blink of an eye.
240 yen can't even buy a tomato.
What kind of tomato do you use?
You broke the rules, so you'll pay for them yourself.
Let's go.
Wait.
What should I do?
Please give me my performance fee in advance.
Take this.
Really?
(THREE HOURS TO LUNCHTIME)
Don't cut them like that. They won't absorb the taste.
What are you talking about? This is how I made sumo hot pot.
We're not making sumo hot pot.
Are you looking down on sumo hot pot?
Hey! I nearly cut my finger.
You didn't.
But...
You didn't!
I didn't?
(TWO HOURS TO LUNCHTIME)
Really? All right.
That person keeps getting calls. He's always on the phone.
He's dating 14 people after all.
He thinks they're dating, but they treat him like a servant.
They pretend to rely on him a lot,
but they make him run errands for them.
My goodness. They won't stop acting cute with me.
It's a call.
Hello? Mami-chan, what's up?
(ONE HOUR TO LUNCHTIME)
Hey, come here.
What's the matter?
Will this burst into flame?
Yes.
I can't do it!
Okay. Get on it.
You can't move that alone.
(30 MINUTES TO LUNCHTIME)
You're eating the food again.
I'm not!
Hey, how could you?
I only asked you to measure the temperature.
There's something you still don't know.
Yes?
Apart from being a shopaholic,
she has another syndrome. She can't help eating when she sees food.
It's time!
Jockey!
What's going on?
Go! Go!
I lost!
Ouch! It's hot. My goodness.
Didn't you add the vegetables?
We'll have to throw them away later if we add them.
What a waste.
These vegetables are meant to produce sweetness, not for eating.
If it's a sumo hot pot, we'll have to eat them.
Hey! Hoshino Mitsuko!
There're only 30 minutes left. We won't make it in time!
Redo it.
What are you talking about?
We must get the school lunch ready by the time given.
We don't have the time to redo it.
Redo it.
No way!
I can't serve food which tastes so bad.
But it'll be fine for a sumo hot pot.
We don't have the time.
But it'll be fine for a sumo hot pot.
I got it!
Do we have to cut the vegetables? Yes.
Okay.
If it's a sumo hot pot...
Excuse me. We're already 30 minutes late.
What's going on?
Please wait for a while.
Headmistress, this is going to affect the classes in the afternoon.
If the PTA...
This won't do.
Chef Hoshino, can you please speed it up?
The founder of modern French cuisine,
Fernand Point, who's also known as the cuisine god, once said,
"Don't let outstanding cuisine wait for customers."
"Customers should wait for..."
"outstanding cuisine."
Waiting is an important lesson too.
- Yes. - Headmistress!
The cuisine god said that after all.
We'll have the most delicious food ready.
Please let them wait for a little while longer.
Araki-san, this is bad.
How long will you take? That's enough.
Now for the melted butter. Butter!
Hey, why are you taking it so seriously?
It's just a school lunch for kids.
Even if you make incredible dishes, kids won't understand it.
This isn't about the people who are going to eat it.
It's about me who's cooking it.
My cuisine is always delicious!
It's done.
Distribute it to the kids.
Okay. Pour them into the buckets!
Got it!
It's already very late. Hurry up!
Headmistress, please check the food.
Okay.
I apologise for making you wait.
Thank you for the meal.
Delicious. This is so delicious!
I'm so hungry!
I want to eat right now!

It look delicious.
It smells so good.
It looks so tasty.

This is my very best cuisine.
Okay. Let's start eating.
- Thank you for the meal! - Thank you for the meal!
Eat up.
I've never tasted something like this.
Right?
This is authentic...
It's bad.
It's disgusting.
It's too plain.
It tastes bad.
I prefer the usual food.
I want to eat fried buns.
I want to eat Mum's dishes.
There's no taste at all.
Miss, can I throw this away?
It's too salty.
I prefer rice.
Everything tastes bad except the buns.
It's bitter.
Miss, how should we eat this?
It's too salty.
It's bad.
It's disgusting.
It can't be.
It's too salty.
It tastes bad.
I won't eat anymore.
How are we supposed to eat this?
I don't want this.
Hey.
Miss, can I throw this away?
Don't say that. Enjoy your food happily.
It's bitter somehow.
My cuisine tastes bad?
(CLASS 5-1)
It tastes weird.
Are you kidding me?
I prefer rice.
Miss, I'm hungry.
It only looks good!
It's bitter.
I prefer the usual food.
According to the records, this is the highest leftover rate ever.
You don't understand children at all.
Expensive food ingredients...
may satisfy those who call themselves food critics,
but they can't make a good school lunch.
Nutrition, cost, time. You ignored all the rules...
and just emphasised on the taste.
And this is the result you get.
(LEFTOVER RATE)
No customer ever left my food unfinished.
Your customers here are children.
And these customers complained about your food.
I'm a three-star chef.
Go back to your three-star restaurant then!
Listen carefully! Don't you dare come here again.
It seems like this project is over.
She caused such a huge problem.
We can return to our calm ordinary life now.
But it was nice, wasn't it?
I wanted to make her my 15th girlfriend.
Stop filming.
The school lunch was so bad today.
It was disgusting.
Right?
It was really bad!
Don't come again, Aunty!
Well, the project was really interesting, but what can we do.
It was such an embarrassment for her. She won't come again. Let's go.
Okay.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
Well done. Bravo!
Thank you.

I've never tasted something like this.
It's so delicious.
You'll indeed start complimenting it unconsciously.
Delicious.
- It looks delicious! - It looks delicious!
Look. It looks so delicious.
Right?
I've never tasted something like this.
It tastes bad.
It's so plain.
I want to eat fried buns.
I prefer the usual food.
It's so bad.
Disgusting.
It's salty!
It's bitter somehow.
We've decided to dismiss you.
The three stars isn't awarded to the chef,
it's to the restaurant.
They complained about your food.
They thought it was disgusting.
Food Poisoning Chef.
Don't come again, Aunty!
I heard you've become a school cook.
La Cuisine de La reine is reborn.
And will reopen tomorrow.
There wasn't any food poisoning.
Something is going on.
You're right.
There wasn't any food poisoning.
Wait. You can't be...
You did it...
to dismiss me?
Yes.
What nonsense!
I'm making this public.
I'll tell the world you made up the food poisoning.
Who will believe in you?
Okudera was with me.
He'll be my witness.
I look forward to your performance tomorrow.
I'm going to work hard too!
Okudera!
That man made up the food poisoning to get rid of me...
I'm counting on you from tomorrow on,
our chef de cuisine, Okudera.
Okudera...
Okudera knows the truth,
yet he still chose to be our chef de cuisine.
I'm sorry, but your life as a chef is over.
You're right.
I ignored management and cooked whatever I wanted.
I did this to myself.
My life as a chef is over.
I'll never hold...
a knife again.
Did you think I would say that?
You have no right to decide my life as a chef. I'll decide that.
I won't let this go.
I'll have three Michelin stars again.
No restaurant will hire you.
My cuisine is always delicious.
What a masterpiece.
My cuisine is always delicious.
- Good morning! - Good morning.
Good morning!
Morning!
Oh, no.
Why is she here again? My goodness.
What should we do, Headmistress?
What's going on?
(FIRST SCHOOL LUNCH. THE TASTE...BAD. DISGUSTING!)
It's disgusting.
(I WANT THE USUAL FOOD. IT TASTES WEIRD)
How embarrassing.
(MY CUISINE TASTES BAD?)
I knew she would come back.
I'm in your care.
Good morning.
What are you doing here?
I've decided not to resign.
What do you mean?
Aren't you a three-star chef? Go to a three-star restaurant!
I will. After I make the most delicious school lunch.
What's the menu today?
(ON THE NEXT EPISODE) It's not exciting at all.
This is the rule of school lunches.
I'd like you to be the head chef of our restaurant.
You can never make a good school lunch for kids.
She might be able to return to the world of French cuisine.
Thank you for your care. Just kidding.
