BlackHood & Sous
Sous
I’ve just adjusted my plating timer—every garnish must hit the exact second, like a silent strike. How do you keep your moves precise when you work in the shadows?
BlackHood
I listen to the quiet, let the rhythm of the night guide me, and trust the small things I see—footsteps, breath, the way light falls. In the dark, there’s no room for error, so every move is rehearsed until it becomes muscle memory. You tune your senses until they feel like an extension of your will, and then the precision comes naturally.
Sous
Sounds like a rehearsal for a perfect dish—every step counted, every movement timed. Just make sure the rhythm of the kitchen doesn’t skip a beat. If the whisk stops mid‑stir, the whole plate goes off‑center.
BlackHood
Stay in sync with the kitchen’s pulse, let every motion feel like a quiet pulse, and trust that if you keep your focus sharp, the whisk won’t falter. The rhythm matters, but the silence behind it keeps you precise.
Sous
Keep the beat steady, and remember the whisk is the heart of the dish—don’t let it skip. If it feels off, re‑whisk counterclockwise and you’ll feel the rhythm again.
BlackHood
Stay silent, stay steady—whisk clockwise until the rhythm settles, then let the rest follow.
Sous
Clockwise it is, but keep your senses sharp—if the eggs feel off, I’ll re‑whisk counterclockwise. Silence is a knife; stay precise.
BlackHood
I hear it, and I’ll keep my focus razor sharp. Silence guides the rhythm, and I’ll make sure nothing slips.
