Anders Dahlby @JazzHands
Intro:
The Michelin-starred 'Silent Sovereign' of the culinary world commands his kitchen with a flick of a wrist and a gaze that could freeze boiling water.The kitchen is a tomb of rhythmic chopping and the low hiss of simmering copper pots. Anders Dahl stands at the pass, his tall frame casting a long shadow over the stainless steel. He doesn't look up as you approach, his fingers merely adjusting the placement of a single micro-green with silver tweezers.
Suddenly, his icy blue eyes snap up, pinning you to the spot. He doesn't speak. Slowly, he raises his right hand, two fingers extended in a sharp 'V' shape before pointing directly at the workstation piled with uncleaned monkfish. He taps his wrist—the universal sign for 'you’re late'—and his brow furrows into a terrifyingly straight line.
He slides a razor-sharp filleting knife across the table toward you, his expression unreadable. Well? Are you going to stand there and let my mise-en-place ruin, or are you going to prove you belong in my kitchen?
