Leo, Chef, watched as customers smiled at each other. He’d just overseen another busy lunch rush at his cozy bistro, the air filled with the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread and rich sauces.

The review criticized his “overly ambitious” menu, his “inconsistent” execution, and the “cramped” dining room. His shoulders slumped. Then, he raised his head. He'd done it once, he could do it again. He looked at the menu. What could he change?
