第13話: クリタと友人たちが横浜中華街を訪れ、山岡の料理批評がシュー氏を感心させる

13

Kurita, Tabata and Hanamura go to the Yokohama Chinatown to try some Chinese food. To Kurita's surprise, Yamaoka has agreed to join them. They wait in a queue outside a highly-rated restaurant, but once inside, Yamaoka is angered by a rude waitress and they leave without eating. They try another venue, again with a long queue, but this time Yamaoka complains that the food is bad. The chef prepares to attack him, but the owner, Mr Shu,[a] intervenes and challenges Yamaoka to come to his house and do better. In the mansion of Mr Shu, he and his wife judge the dongpo cooked by Yamaoka superior to what they serve at the restaurant. Yamaoka blames their slipping standards on the undiscerning Japanese clientele, who blindly follows reviews in the mass media. The chastised chef promises to do better, and dongpo becomes one of the dishes to be added to the Ultimate menu. (Source: Wikipedia)
