Dinner

Scientific name: Echinodermata

A Echinoderm you would call it.

In Italian it is...

Riccio di mare.

The first person that ate a sea urchin must have had a lot of courage.

You are right, at first sight it looks disgusting.

Yes it is disgusting It's pointy on the outside and the inside is all mushy.

It would be scary to eat it if you didn't know the taste of it.

It's delicious once you eat it.

In the old days they probably discovered

new tastes and dishes everyday.

- Huh? - In the end

the chef's now a days

can only make arrangements to the traditional tastes

that our predecessors have created.

- Well music is the same. - What?

Practically all of it was all completed in the era of Mozart.

All that we are doing is making arrangements

to the inheritance that the great composers have left us.

Is that how it is.

In any case

this restaurant is very successful as usual.

- Good evening. - Welcome Yokoyama-sama.

It is very cold tonight isn't it.

Yes it is. My glasses are fogging up.

Welcome Yokoyama-sensei. I will escort you to your usual table.

Thank you.

This time I figured out the perpetrator

- in the new "Katsuragi Keibu" book. - Who do you think it is?

It's that female magician isn't it.

- Wrong. - Well then

- is it the female manager? - Well who could it be.

It's almost done Nobunari!

Okay!

- Don't drop it. - Okay.

- The plate is not strait. - Oh, I'm very sorry.

Please.

Allora Nr. 14 Fritto misto due

Bolognese due comanda per favore.

Is the Tagliata for Nr. 9 ready yet?

You may serve it but it is still raw.

- Here this one first. - Alright I'll take it.

- Hey what is wrong? - Oh, nothing.

You can watch but keep your hands moving.

Alright.

- Hey. - Yes.

Isn't that person the author Yokoyama Mizuho?

I'm very sorry but I do not...

Don't worry I am not going to ask her for an autograph.

I'm taking this.

Yayoi-san Nr. 2 is almost ready.

- Here you go. - That was fast.

Of course.

Hello, this is "Roccabianca".

I'm very sorry, unfortunately tonight we are...

That will be in 3 months.

Alright. Thank you very much.

Then that will be 3 persons on the 8th at 19:00.

We will be awaiting for your arrival. Thank you very much.

Hello, this is "Roccabianca".

- Hey hey. - Yes.

Isn't that person in front of my table

Miwasa Seizo the maestro of

the New York Philharmonic?

You are very well informed.

But the most famous one is that person.

The owner and head chef Tatsumi Hideo-san

I am very happy that I could see Caesar with my own eyes.

Thank you very much.

- the vegetables Imai-san? - Yes please.

Who are you Miss?

Oh, nice to meet you for the first time.

My name is Nakano Chihiro.

- I started working here 1 month ago. - Oh.

- Chihiro-kun. - Yes.

Do you know about this picture?

Yes, this is a picture of Tatsumi-san when he was younger.

"Teresa" a famous restaurant in Turin.

"Teresa"?

Only a hand full of elite chefs

from around the world are able

to work at this "Teresa".

Tatsumi-san is the only Japanese

that was able to work for this restaurant.

Then Tatsumi-san is really an amazing person.

You are so lucky that you are able to work for the restaurant of such a person.

Yes. Thank you very much.

- Well then... - Yes.

I would like order the same thing again.

Yes, understood. Excuse me.

Did you know about that picture of "Teresa" Eriko-san?

So Chihiro-chan you finally got to hear the Iwasa explanation.

Iwasa explanation?

All the new employees at this restaurant get the background information

about that picture from Iwata-san.

So it's a path that everybody goes threw.

But there is a rumor that there was another Japanese person

other than Tatsumi-san that got trained at "Teresa".

What? That sound like an urban legend.

- Are you enjoying your selfs today? - Yes very much.

It's very delicious.

Please enjoy.

That couple came all the way from Hokkaido especially to eat the chefs meal

to celebrate there golden wedding anniversary.

Is that so.

Please make your dishes

with a lot of love as usual.

Understood manager.

A phone call for you manager.

- Who is it? - From a TV network they say.

This is the kitchen. The assistants and the ingredients are over here...

This is amazing.

What?

Oh, I have been watching "The Iron Chef"

from when I was in middle school.

I always wished my father could appear in this show.

- Is that so. - Yes.

Oh, what should I do.

Oh.

Leave Tatsumi up to me.

I will make him appear on this show. I will convince him myself.

Saying that would be a big help to us.

Of course.

Oh good that you are here Tamaki-san.

This is the manager of "Roccabianca".

- Oh, nice to see you again. - What?

I love this place so I go there often.

The Porcino Risotto is excellent.

Thank you for always coming to our restaurant.

Oh, could it be that Tatsumi-san

- will make an appearance on this show? - Yes, I will make sure of it.

That is great. It is such an honor for me and the show

if Tatsumi-san would make an appearance.

- Oh no that is too much. - Because Tatsumi-san is a chef

that we can proudly show to the world from Japan.

What should I do.

I'm so happy.

That is amazing head chef.

it's not that far fetched to say that everyone of our generation

- got inspired by watching "The Iron Chef" to become a cook. - I watched it a lot.

I was also watching it.

- Alright but keep your hand moving. - Si!

You see everybody is saying this

- so please make an appearance this time. - Yes, but I have the restaurant.

You should just leave that to Imai-san and the others.

- Don't you think so Imai-san? - I think it will be a good thing for the restaurant

so listen to your cute daughter.

- Alright then. - Yes we did it!

- Alright then, keep your hand moving. - Si!

Nr. 10 Pizzaiola!

Oh that is for Mrs. Karla isn't it. I will take that.

- Alright. - Here you go.

- Here you go. - Alright.

Thank you for waiting.

It is veal alla pizzaiola.

I was waiting for this.

This is very delicious.

It is an honor that you would say that Mrs. Karla.

- Grazie. - Buon appetito.

It was very delicious again tonight Tatsumi-san.

Every time I come to "Roccabianca" it is excellent.

I would like to take the whole restaurant back to Italy.
