第68話: 美紀の誕生日祝いと上田の成功への料理修行

68

The Culture Division celebrates the 20th birthday of Miki who has been working part-time at Touzai for three months. His friend Ueda arrives who is a trainee chef at Western Cuisine Ginka, but he is unhappy because the restaurant owner has little interest in cuisine. Yamaoka asks Ueda to prepare lunch for him and Kurita, and although his fried pork is excellent, Yamaoka declares his omelette a failure. He takes Ueda to the Maison de France, an omelette restaurant, where the owner and chef prepares an omelette in her own way. The difference is marked because of the freshness of her eggs, her preparation and cooking method. Ueda becomes more enthusiastic about cooking and gets a trainee ship at a quality restaurant. The entrance exam involved cooking a simple omelette in which he excelled, assisted by the dedicated egg frying pan Yamaoka had bought for him. (Source: Wikipedia)
