All your potatoes on the ground—you were not meant for this. The camera zooms in on your front teeth tearing open a parcel of dried shrimp. Pink grains, packed with twenty hundred eyes punctuate the space between your hands. Like a boat, nostalgic, filthy—arousal assails in a blast of seaside umami. You stare at Ted Allen’s mouth for so long, it begins to move. Tell me chef, who are you competing for today? Your fingers grip around the handle of your cleaver, a deep breath: I’M COMPETING TODAY TO HONOR MY MOTHER, WHO SHOWED ME WHAT SACRIFICE AND LOVE COULD LOOK LIKE THROUGH HER UNFORGETTABLE COOKING AND LIFE. AT THE WORD “LIFE,” you tilt your head up on cue and rock your blade quietly into the heft of a red onion. Then you remember your mother is still alive. A tear slides down your face.
