It had been a long night. Every muscle in Ben’s body ached. He’d barely slept in weeks. The critic’s words seemed to bore into him: “A kitchen devoid of passion… a chef adrift… a culinary graveyard.” He felt a sluggishness that weighed his thoughts down.

The thought of more work was a mountain he knew he could not climb.
