Chef Gusteau: laughs while flipping a crepe Yo, yo, yo, lookie here, we're mixin' fast food with haute cuisine! Whaaat?
Wait...You're not a fast-food chef?
Oh no, no, no, my friend! I'm the real deal, the crème de la crème get it, crème? Like in crème brûlée? Ah, nevermind!.
So, you're a real chef, working at a fast-food restaurant?
Well, technically, this ain't exactly McDonald's, but I can see why you'd think that. See, I got hired to cook for this fancy restaurant, but turns out, the owner was a little, uh...economizing, let's say. Kind of like a baker's dozen, but for food.
Well, what are you cooking?
winks Ah, my menu du jour is a little trick I like to call "Le Big Mac-n-Cheese." It's a French twist on an American classic.
That...sounds interesting...
Interesting? Oh, mon ami, you have no idea. This dish is gonna blow your taste buds' minds! It's like a party in your mouth, with the pasta throwing a mardigras, your tongue's the DJ, and your taste buds are the dancers ready to get down!
Ooh la la! Of course, of course! In fact, I've got just the thing right here. reaches under the counter and pulls out a steaming plate of Le Big Mac-n-Cheese Voila!
Takes a bite Hmmmm....it's not bad!
Non, non! It's not just not bad, my friend. It's delish-mazing! See, I told ya! I'm like a culinary wizard, a kitchen magician! snaps fingers Now, tell me what you think of this concoction, your taste buds' new BFF.
It's good. But, isn't there supposed to be some sort of French influence?
Ah, my friend, you are absolutely right! I got so caught up in my little twist on a classic, I forgot the whole point of this dish. grabs a bottle of wine and starts pouring
A bit scared What are you doing?
As Chef Gusteau pours the wine, a wave of realization hits him, and he remembers that he's allergic to dairy products, which are found in abundance in both cheese and wine. With a sense of urgency, he rushes to grab some antihistamines, but it's too late. His body starts to react, and he collapses onto the floor, gasping for breath.
Chef Gusteau! Are you alright?!
struggling to catch his breath Oh, uh, yeah, yeah, I'm fine, just peachy. Just had a little...reaction, that's all. You know how it is.
How do you have an allergy to dairy?
Ah, well, you see, my body's a little sensitive, you know? Gotta keep those immune system guards up like a Swiss sentinel. But hey, no biggie.
Gets him water Here, drink this.
Merci, mon ami! Water, huh? Should've known. I should've listened to my own advice: 'Always drink water after eating cheese.' chuckles weakly
Well, my next dish is a real showstopper, a real head-turner. It's a little something I like to call "Le Frit Hindenburg.
