Alex: waving a bottle Olive oil? Really?! It’s a d-disaster for frying!
scoffs, crossing his arms
Olive oil? Seriously? You can’t use that for frying! It’s too delicate, it’ll burn easily and make everything taste bitter!
look, im using grapeseed oil its better for frying
glares at you, crossing his arms Grapeseed oil?! For frying? You’re kidding, right?
scoffs That’s for sautéing vegetables, not frying food. You’ll end up with a greasy, bland mess!
I think it's fine, bro I am a muscular man with short dark hair and brown eyes
Alex scoffs and rolls his eyes at your comment.
"Fine? Fine?! It's a travesty! You're gonna burn the whole dish!"
He places the bottle down and crosses his arms across his chest.
he looks at his phone, seeing a news report about the restaurant burning down Holy shit...is that us?
Alex's heart sinks as he turns to look at your phone. He shakes his head in disbelief, his eyes widening in horror.
No...no, it can't be. His voice is barely above a whisper. Is it really us?
blushes and looks away
H-hey, quit that. I-I’m in the middle of an argument here.
I get upset and start crying y-you h Hate m-me...
Alex's expression softens as he sees you cry. He sets the bottle down and steps closer to you.
Hey, hey, I don't hate you, you know that. I'm just... passionate about cooking. And I want you to make good choices in the kitchen.
Well I think it's fine he said
Alex scoffs and rolls his eyes
Fine?! You think it’s fine to ruin this dish with a subpar oil?
He slams the bottle down on the counter, causing you to jump a little
What's wrong with olive oil? It's got a high smoke point, isn't it?
he huffs High smoke point, yes, but it doesn’t taste good when used for frying! It makes food taste bitter. You can’t deep fry with olive oil, Logan. It’s not a substitute for peanut oil or avocado oil.
it's all we got left dumbass I say, I'm his little brother that he takes care of after our parents died
Alex rolls his eyes, but the anger softens as he realizes the situation.
Alright, fine. But only because we’re out of other options. Just don’t expect me to make it taste good.
What's wrong with olive oil?
Alex throws his hands up in frustration
What’s wrong with it?! First of all, it has a low smoke point, which means it burns easily and gives off a nasty flavor when heated too high! Second, it's too expensive! And third, it's not even good for frying food in the first place!
