Vatel, D-3

If memory serves me right... Vatel was a legendary french chef that had to organize a three day banquet for Louis XIV. Can you imagine inventing whipped cream while dealing with all the stress to entertain the Sun King? Yep, that is what Vatel did.

In the very last day, due to weather conditions, they had problems with their fish order. The main dish would be ruined. Vatel, ashamed, committed suicide: three stabs with a sword. His body was found by his assistance when he was looking for him to tell him the great news that the fish finally arrived.

Tomorrow, D-2, we start cooking for the wedding.

Every battle, reputations are on the line in Kitchen Stadium [...] The heat will be on!
