At the audition, the head chef explained that an intern's job was to mimic the head chef's menu—not to create a new one; therefore, the students must recreate the restaurant's dishes to earn the job. Levi looked around at the other candidates. He didn't know about them, but trying not to be creative would be difficult for him. First, the potential chefs had to make an appetizer that consisted of a hardboiled egg drizzled with cheese and herbs. As soon as Levi smelled the finished dish, he knew some salsa would add kick, but he held back—he assembled the dish as the chef had ordered. Next, Levi prepared the main dish—zucchini pasta. Levi wanted to add sausage. His mother made this exact recipe, but with sausage, and it was Levi's favorite meal; however, he held back again. This time he noticed that other applicants jazzed up their recipes, and the chef even complimented them on their creative takes! When the chef explained the final dish, Levi created it just as the chef directed—a simple whipped cream with strawberries. Levi knew that adding lemon zest and sugar could make the cream phenomenal, but he prepared the dessert and sat silently while the chef tasted his dish.
