"Hey. I'm Chef Blondie, and today we're going to do something that's amazing. You've all been to a five star restaurant, and had this fabulous mango salad. And you said "I can't make that!" But you know what? You can. Not only is it easy, but you're going to learn some terms that are going to impress you're friends like you can't believe. For example, you're going to learn the word 'Macerate' and you're going to through it off your calf and your friends are going to say, "What does that mean?" Oh wait. When you taste my chicken I'll tell you. You're also going to learn the word 'mise en place.' It's very French. You might even fake that you've been to France, but all it really means is that you've got everything in it's place. So that you get all your ingredients out of the way so that you can go, go, go. But last, but not least, you're going to learn how to plate a dish just like the professional muckey-muck Parisian chefs, and you're going to do it all yourself very easily, just by following me. Come on along."
