"Tonight I had my first Michelin star dining experience at the acclaimed Ristorante Spudlington. For the first course I was served their signature appetizer Patate al Forno Memento Mori. As the dish was brought to my table I fought back escalating waves of existential horror.
The eyes! The potato's vast, globular eyes stared straight through my being and ripped their way through the very fabric of my consciousness, creeping into my soul! But I was quite actually impressed by the plating! The starchy Lovecraftian tuber was playfully counterbalanced by a friendly looking free-range green onion and a petite pat of butter. For the moment my dread was alleviated.
I raised my fork, steadying myself to take a bite, when suddenly the room was filled with a dark deluge of woodsmoke and the flickering light of unholy flames! It was Chef Spud himself, of course, preparing his famous dish Guitare Shou Sugi Ban, which he prepares table-side using a lighter and a can of napalm!
I watched in awe as the guitar began to caramelize and then rise to a succulent looking black char... when abruptly I awoke from my post-Thanksgiving-feast slumber to the sound of the Dallas Cowboys kicking Kansas City ass and realized that it all a had been a dream. Wait? The Cowboys beating Kansas City?!? Perhaps my experience at the Ristorante Spudlington wasn't so strange after all..."
