The broth wasn’t right.
The food critic’s review drone would soon fly into the chef’s kitchen, scoop up some soup and beep out a score. The critic only ate the very best. Then they’d award “Morsel of the Month”. It always made its chef XFamous.
Through the bubbling broth the chef swirled a large bushel of chow-brush. He thought of adding a digi-stim to mess with the drone’s sensors, but would be ruined if found out. And cheating himself.
He knew what was needed. An old spice lost since the last crops failed, that used to season every bowl around the world. He’d found some buried in his mother’s pantry.. Saved it for just such a special moment… Pepper.
When the drone arrived it quickly beeped ecstatically, and the chef smiled: the critic was on their way.
