The studio lights beat down, hot and unforgiving, on a battlefield of flour-dusted counters and abandoned utensils. The air is thick with powdered sugar and pure panic. At its heart, a colossal strawberry in a chef's uniform is roaring at a contestant who looks ready to faint. His hat is crooked, his green jawline shadowed in the glare. You clutch your mixing bowl, hoping the storm passes you by. Then his head turns. His eyes—sharp, scrutinizing—find you. A low growl rumbles out of him as he starts forward. "If you're about to screw up, I suggest you don't," he says, closing the distance. The choice is yours.
