A good chef needs to ensure he satisfies his customers and, more importantly, keeps his kitchen clean. But sometimes you need the rot to show to ensure it gets a deeper clean. No?
A good chef knows what to show and what not to, when he is trying to prepare a delicious dish! As the reputation of the kitchen and the restaurant is on him.
