Chapter 527 The taster is here

The waiter on the side noticed that Su Zifang seemed a little embarrassed and subconsciously spoke.

"Hello sir, we have a set meal here..."

"No, thanks!"

Su Zifang suddenly raised his head, smiled and nodded, and then asked seriously: "Can I order a full set of dishes here?"

This statement made the waiter stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly responded and said yes.

Su Zifang nodded slightly, put down the menu and started ordering.

The appetizer, soup, and fish still required some thinking at first, but the following dishes simply popped into my mind, and I read the names subconsciously.

The waiter couldn't remember it, so he had to repeat it a second time, and finally the record was completed.

"Is it too much?"

Shen Anyan was a little worried when she heard the dishes Su Zi put in the store.

Su Zifang waved his hands calmly: "Don't worry, it won't be too much!"

Seeing Su Zifang's confident look, Shen Anyan didn't ask any more questions.

With Su Zi, as long as he is so confident, there will be no problem. She believes in her boyfriend.

At this time, the chef of Iris Restaurant suddenly exclaimed: "Oh! My Virgin Mary! Guess who came to our restaurant!"

“Taster!”

“Michelin’s food testers are here!”

A chef with light blue eyes and half-rimmed glasses who looked a bit like Steve Jobs shouted in an exaggerated tone, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the room.

"Leon, how do you know?"

A chef in the back kitchen showed some doubts.

"Bocuse, trust me! You can't be wrong!"

"I encountered such customers when I was working in Provence. They ordered exactly the same dishes!"

“This is a common tactic used by Michelin food testers!”

The entire chef at the Iris Restaurant became excited because of Lyon's news.

Although Michelin ratings are not widely recognized in China, in the international catering industry, a Michelin rating is the highest level of recognition for a Western restaurant!

However, some people still raised objections.

"Leon, I don't want to question you, but..."

"In my twenty years as a chef, I have never heard of a Michelin food tester choosing two Chinese people..."

"You know, their tongues have been numbed by those Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers!"

“You can’t really appreciate the taste of real food!”

Of course, more people ignored the chef who spoke and looked at Leon frowning.

"Leon, what should we do now?"

After hearing the question, Leon was a little at a loss.

"Hi! This is only the second time this has happened to me!"

"Also, although I don't know why these two people are food testers, their current behavior is very similar! Very similar!"

"I have asked people to watch them. If there is anything abnormal, tell us immediately!"

After hearing this, everyone's eyes softened a bit, and they got back to work and got ready.

Bogus lowered his head and looked at the ingredients in the kitchen and spread his hands: "There is a small problem. I just checked our ingredients. The main ingredients of the halibut and Australian scallops they ordered are no longer in the freshest state!"

"Although it is still fresh ingredients, it may not be able to satisfy the picky tongues of Michelin tasters!"

"They even think that a black truffle without fragrance is worse than a thinly sliced ​​rubber tire!"

This is a story that spread after a Michelin food tester once worked for a restaurant that had a good reputation, but missed out on the star because the black truffles had no flavor.

All the chefs in the back kitchen have obviously heard it, and they burst into laughter when they heard this sentence.

At this time, the waiter in the lobby hurriedly came to the kitchen and called Leon over. A few seconds later, he returned with a warm smile on his face!

"Oh ho, that's great!"

“I’m pretty sure they are our Michelin food testers!”

"Although they have Chinese faces, Sarah just got new news. Both of them can speak fluent French when ordering wine, and they have accents from the Burgundy region!"

“You have to know that in addition to wine, this place is also the origin of famous Michelin tasters!”

"Also, one of them accidentally put the forks and knives in the wrong order. Fortunately, Sara was there to help restore it!"

"This, like dropping the fork, is a common trick used by food testers."

Leon's words made everyone smile instantly.

"Indeed! Black truffle!"

Only then did Leon look at Bocuse again.

"Ingredients are a big problem, how to solve this? Who can think of a solution?"

Everyone in the kitchen suddenly fell into embarrassment.

Because the dishes Su Zi ordered were so authentic that only locals from the French region would order some of them, the restaurant did not prepare enough ingredients for a while.

"How about... replacing it with local scallops?"

The third chef made a suggestion and added in a low voice: "Even I sometimes can't tell the difference between damn local scallops and Australian scallops, so there shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Leon immediately glared at him.

"No! This matter is related to the reputation of the restaurant. You must not try it!"

After a moment of silence, Leon looked towards the storage room and spoke again.

"You go and prepare all the ingredients. I will see for myself which ones can be used. If not, I will think of a way!"

For a moment, everyone had no other choice but to lay out all the ingredients for Su Zi's dishes and let Leon choose as required.

A few minutes later, Leon looked at the ingredients he picked out and shook his head.

"No, if you want to achieve the best effect, you can only complete ten steps at most, and there are still three steps that cannot be completed."

The excitement of welcoming the Michelin tasters gradually faded away, and the faces of everyone in the back kitchen of Iris Restaurant were filled with sadness.

After a moment of silence, Leon made a bold decision.

“Let’s change the dishes!”

"I will personally explain the situation to the guests."

"Is this okay?" The other chefs cast puzzled and shocked looks.

You must know that the reason why Michelin restaurant ratings are considered a reliable restaurant evaluation guide is because they conduct evaluations entirely based on blind reviews. If Lyon really goes out to negotiate, I am afraid that Iris Restaurant will lose its score this time.

Seeing everyone's thoughts, Leon shook his head slightly.

"Don't worry, I won't tell you that we already know their identities!"

"Just apologize like a normal chef!"

"wait for my good news!"

Leon finished finishing his clothes and walked out, going straight to Su Zifang and Shen Anyan's table.

"Hello, I'm sorry to interrupt your chat. I am Leon, the chef of this restaurant."

Leon practiced all the way before he could say this sentence smoothly and not deliberately.

"Because today's scallops and halibut are not fresh, it is difficult to serve you these two dishes."

"I wonder if I need to change it to other dishes for you?"

“Longli fish and Bellon oysters are fresh ingredients that arrived in the afternoon!”

Leon spoke very carefully, fearing that his situation would affect Su Zifang.

However, Su Zifang and Shen Anyan looked at each other, smiled softly, and replied in equally fluent French.

"That would be troublesome!"

When Leon heard the answer, he was surprised and couldn't believe that he had completed the task just like this!
Chapter completed!
