Can AI IRON CHEF Survive my Cooking Challenge?

[Music] Ah, Gual! You have returned. How are the Queen and her guest?

They seem to be enjoying the meal.

Jeff: Lady V asked me to fetch you. She wants to speak with you.

Porro: Is that so? I think it's about the food. Maybe she has some compliments or suggestions. When you’re as good as me, everyone wants to talk to you. But let’s focus on the Queen's dinner party.

Jeff: Lady V wanted to speak with you, remember?

Porro: Very well, Gual. Let us go see the Queen and her friend.

Porro: How are we doing for tonight's meal? Hope you enjoy, Queen and Lady V.

Ah, Porro: Good evening. I must say the goat roast and rabbit haunch were exquisite, but I was a bit disappointed with the apple cabbage stew.

Queen: Yes, Porro, I must agree with Lady V. Although, the stew was lacking.

Porro: May you, Queen, forgive me.

Queen: No need to apologize. Even the best chefs have off days. But I do think it would be beneficial for you to learn from others. Perhaps a trip to Markarth to visit Chef Anton would do you some good.

Lady V: Yes, Porro. It's not every day one gets to learn from the best.

Porro: Respectfully, Lady V, I am the best. I have never even heard of this Chef Anton. Who is he?

Queen: Porro, you are quite confident, aren't you? But let me tell you, Chef Anton is a master. His stews are renowned throughout Markarth, and I've had the pleasure of tasting them myself.

Porro: My stews are renowned too!

Lady V: It's not wise to dismiss the expertise of others so quickly.

Porro: Of course. Perhaps I should take Lady V's advice and visit Chef Anton to learn from him. The news is very hard to swallow. It's a great opportunity to gain some expertise.

Queen: I'm glad to see you're open to learning. With your permission, I will take a few days off to go learn from this man.

Porro: Gual, you're coming with me.

[Scene: Porro and Gual prepare to leave for Markarth]

Porro: This is a [__] move. Move out of my way. It's better than mine? What am I doing? Get out, everybody, get out of my kitchen! Move! Better than mine? More tasty than mine? Impossible!

[Sound of broken kitchen objects]

Jeff: Excuse me, Chef Porro, there's no need to talk like that about someone else's cooking.

Porro: Let me tell you something, you stupid little monkey. When I hired you, I expected you to be smarter than this. How can I be the greatest chef in the world if some [] [] like Lady V doesn't think that my apple cabbage stew is the best in the world? Some stupid chef in Markarth, better than me?

Jeff: I know you're a great chef, and I respect that. It's just that everyone has their own opinions. Let's focus on making the best meal we can for the Queen and her guests.

Porro: It is time for you to learn one of my great secrets to becoming the greatest chef in all of Skyrim. Quickly, gather your gear. We leave for Markarth immediately.

[Scene: Arrival at Markarth]

Porro: That was a long trip, wasn't it? How are you feeling, Gual?

Gual: I'm feeling a bit tired, sir. The trip was long, but I'm excited to be in Markarth, and I'm looking forward to learning from Chef Anton. I hope you're doing well, sir. You seemed a bit upset back in Solitude.

Porro: Upset? That is putting it lightly. Do you want to know why? You're upset because you feel like you're not good enough, that someone from Markarth can do better than you? I don't think that's true. You're a great chef, and I've learned so much from you already.

Porro: Do not be stupid, Gual. It is not that I believe Chef Anton is better than me. I know I am the best chef in all of Tamriel, without question. What pisses me off is that there is someone out there with a skill I do not possess. You and I are going to take it from him. The game of cooking is a dangerous one, and you will learn soon enough. Stick by me and keep your mouth shut unless I ask you questions. This could get dangerous. You never know what secrets another chef might possess.

Gual: Look at this place! I've never seen anything like it.

[Scene: Entering Understone Keep in Markarth]

Porro: Impressive? My ass. My name is Porro Botani, head chef of Solitude's Blue Palace. I am looking for the head chef of this cute little inn. Where is Chef Anton?

Chef Anton: Ah, bonjour, Chef Porro Botani. I am Anton Virane, the master chef of Understone Keep. And you, what brings you to Markarth?

Porro: French? Anyway, I have come to inspect your kitchen.

Chef Anton: Inspect my kitchen? I think there's been some misunderstanding, Chef Porro. This is my domain, and I don't take kindly to uninvited guests. What makes you think you have the right to inspect my kitchen?

Porro: Alright, I will tell you the truth. Lady V of Solitude said that your apple and cabbage stew is better than mine. Me, Porro Botani, the best chef in all of Skyrim, outdone by some Frenchman? I will not stand for it.

Chef Anton: It seems you've been misinformed. I'm not French, and as for the apple and cabbage stew, I'm sure it's just a matter of personal taste. But I must say, I'm flattered that you think of me as a competitor.

Porro: I do not. And I will prove it. I challenge you, Chef Anton, to a cook-off done in the old ways!

Chef Anton: Well, I'm not one to back down from a challenge. But let's make it interesting. Loser leaves the city, and the winner gets to claim the title of best chef in Skyrim.

Porro: Leave the city? I have no desire to stay in this city. Let me suggest this. My apprentice, Gual Chal, will take control and be head chef of Understone Keep if you lose, and you will never return.

Gual: Wait, what? Chef Porro, I don't think that's a good idea.

[Scene: The cooking competition at Dragonsreach]

Porro: Alright, everybody, listen up. Today, we are going to be having a cooking competition. It is going to be me, Chef Porro Botani, and my wonderful apprentice, Gual Chal, against Chef Anton and his little helper over there, Ronda.

Chef Anton: Well, Porro, show us what you’ve got.

Porro: To confirm, this shall be a traditional three-course meal with an appetizer, some sort of stew, a main entrée, and a dessert. Understood?

Chef Anton: I’m ready.

Porro: Gual, come here. We are about to start in 5 minutes. I know you are nervous, but you need to get your head into the game. Do you understand?

Gual: Okay, I'll focus. What do I need to do, Chef Porro?

Porro: Listen to exactly what I say and follow every command perfectly. Are you ready?

Gual: I'm ready. I'll follow your instructions exactly.

Porro: Then, let’s get started.

[Scene: Judges introduced.]

Porro: I would like to take the please in introducing our jury for this evening: Judge 1, Chef Sheogorath; Judge 2, Proventus Avenicci; and Judge 3, the Queen.

Chef Porro: Today, we have prepared for you a three-course meal. We will start off with a beautiful bowl of clam chowder, a steamed mud crab legs, and for dessert, a boiled cream treat.

Chef Anton: For our appetizer, we have a hawker and asham stew. For the main course, a rabbit haunch roasted to perfection, and for dessert, an apple pie.

[Scene: Judges taste and give their verdicts.]

Judge 1: Careful consideration, I must say that my favorite meal was Chef Anton's. I would rank Anton’s meal a 9 out of 10 and Porro’s a 6 out of 10.

Judge 2: Chef Porro, your dishes were ambitious. I rank your meal a 7 out of 10. Chef Anton, your meal was traditional but excellently prepared. I rank your meal an 8 out of 10.

Judge 3: I enjoyed both meals, but my favorite was Chef Anton's. I rank Anton's meal a 9 out of 10 and Porro's an 8 out of 10.

Porro: Congratulations, Chef Anton. Let's celebrate your victory downstairs.

[Scene: Celebrations turn dark.]

Chef Anton: Your dishes were far superior to mine, Porro. But...

Porro: Enough is enough. It's time for you to learn the truth about cooking. Do you see this blade? It is no ordinary blade.

Chef Anton: What on Tamriel are you doing?

Porro: This magical blade absorbs the talent of those it kills and infuses it into me. You have proven there is still talent I do not possess. Now, move aside.

Chef Anton: No!

Porro: Do not challenge me! I am not a murderer—I'm a chef!

Chef Anton: Your madness ends now!

[Chef Anton is defeated.]

[Porro lifts blade menacingly.]

Porro: Apple and the cabbage stew are all mine. All mine.

[Music fades out.]
