The critic’s assessment of his restaurant, “Dante’s Delight,” left Dante feeling wounded. "Unimaginative." He read it over and over, his face contorted in a grimace. After a while, he threw the review in the trash. He pulled on his chef’s jacket, its familiar weight strangely comforting. He decided to revisit the menu, starting from scratch. He wandered through the local farmer's market, his fingers brushing against the vibrant produce. He began envisioning the restaurant’s future and it felt clear in his head. His eyes sparkled as he talked to the farmers and vendors.
