"Master cook," one of the most influential cooking tournaments in all of Latecia, attracts famous chefs from across the continent and countless visitors to Bisden in the late spring, causing the city to erupt in festivity and turning it into one of the hottest tourist spots around.
The preliminaries for Master Cook serve as a backdrop for some of the fiercest battles this side of war, where onlookers witness some the life and death of many a dish, and chefs shed tears of both joy and despair.
"This patata plate is an insult to the ingredients it's made of. My pet Birdie wouldn't even eat it!" "How many minutes did you boil this moya meat for to make it this tough and incredible? Get out of here!"
Ramu had absolute confidence in his culinary skill. His palate was capable of immediately ascertaining the recipe of any dish he eats, and he could even tell how fresh the ingredients were. When it comes to food preparations, he had an almost sixth sense for knowing exactly when a dish was perfectly cooked, and his meals always tasted better than anyone else's, whether they were made with vegetables, fruit, fish, meat, or flour. Ramu was quite literally born to cook.

The Master Cook finals took the form of a survival game with 60 participants. The Bisden media riled up the public every day in anticipation of the emergence of a new star chef, and with the finals being made open to public viewing, crowds thronged to watch the competition. Ramu clenched his fists as he scanned the crowd of onlookers. He was determined to win; anything less than first place meant nothing to him.
During the first round of the finals, the theme of the competitors' first challenge was "fish." The theme had been announced only a day prior, but many people had already guessed it from the covered water tanks that had been delivered earlier to the arena. Having grown friendly during the competition, the participants chatted affably before the round started. Ramu watched different chefs yap away about how they wanted to make a light, Pagos-style haddock soup to appeal to the judges' taste, or how they would win the round with their populations salmon salad. Ramu clicked his tongue. Not only did he think deciding what to make before the exact ingredients were revealed was useless, but he also looked down on the idea of trying to appeal to the judges' taste. It didn't matter if it was a dish they normally liked; all that mattered is whether it tasted good. No one dislikes food that tastes good. Ramu was confident his creation would taste the best, no matter the ingredients.
"You have 50 minutes. Go!" As soon as the host finished speaking, one of the judges, a chef named Jeff headed up to the famous restaurant "The Red Sleeve," turned over a giant hourglass. The participants immediately ran to claim their ingredients. Ramu did the same. In the giant water tanks swam a large number of fish, and each chef had to use a net to catch the fish they wanted. One overly anxious participant had accidentally fallen into on of the tanks. While he was being attacked by the carnivorous fish, Ramu caught the fish he wanted with a single flick of his wrist.

The Beth that Ramu had chosen was an unusual size, weighing down the entire net. It thrashed around for a moment, then looked at Ramu and opened its mouth. Ramu moved his head just in time to dodge the bubbles. The chef behind him, however, was not so lucky, and Ramu heard a deathly scream behind him as the chef was hit directly by the attack. Ramu quickly set the Beth down on the table and grabbed a large knife gutting. Before the Beth could even start to self destruct, he quickly and nimbly cut through it and removed the bones. "Truly remarkable knifwork! Ladies and gentlemen, give Ramu a big round of applause for being the first to start preparing his dish!"
Ramu decided to make a special glazed Beth dish, along with fin soup. The Beth's white meat went well with a nice glaze sauce. After he had deboned the Beth, Ramu added fruit wine to mask the smell. While that boiled, he prepared the base ingrediants for his soup within a mere 40 seconds. He moved much, much faster than the other chefs, and by the time he was finishing up, only three others were close to being done-one of who finished purely because she had made grilled shumo.
As soon as Ramu removed the cover from his platter, a warm steam floated through the air and tickled the judges' noses. "It's so flagrant! You have no idea this was fish."

As he went from one challenge to another, dominating each like a cullinary force of nature, Ramu established himself as a serious contender for first place. Eventaully, the final round was upon him, and he found himself pitted against two other participants: Stefan Teri, a chef already working at a luxurious resturant, and Oliver James, the dark horse of the event.
The next day, massive crowds surrounding the special stage created for the final round. Some people brought giant posters to root for their favorite chef, and occasionally fights would break out between fans of oppossing participants. The host watched in enjoyment before shouting over the commotion. "Three chefs remain, but only one will walk away with the title of 'Master.' Who will it be? The final round is about to begin!" "Make the most powerful dishes in Latecia." Stefan Teri froze, and Oliver Jame's face twisted in confusion. Was there such a thing as a "most powerful" dish? What did "most powerful" even mean in relation to food? And wouldn't it be subjective anyway? As the two chefs stood by, confused and unmoving, Ramu had already started preparing his meal. He had no doubts about the challenge. In terms of culinary "power," he knew he was the most powerful chef in Latcia; thus, whatever he made would naturally be the most "powerful" dish. His confidence enabled him to act without hesitation.
Stefan Teri concentrated harder and harder on what the "most powerful" dish might mean until the stress caused him to throw up blood and he was taken away for medical treatment. Oliver James, on the other hand, assumed the most powerful dish meant he needed the most powerful ingredients, and so he left the event in search of titan to slay. This left Ramu by himself to finish the final round. Some spectators who had been waiting for an intense cook-off voiced their dissatisfaction, but all who were watching eventually became transfixed by the culinary skill Ramu exhibited.
Thus was the winner of Master Cook decided.

[What If...] Ramu, the Dark Chef - Part 1
Over his years of training, Ramu finally learned the secret to cooking competitions: The first chef to submit their dish always loses. If two participants are of similar skill, then no matter how much praise the judges heap upon the first, they will always lavish the second with even greater praise. It was an irrefutable truth. "As long as you offer up your meal later than your opponent, you'll win." The moment Ramu realized this, he began to shake from excitement as though his mind had been opened to the mysteries of the universe.
[What If...] Ramu, the Dark Chef - Part 2
From his "Checks of Thorium" glazed sweet potatoes to his "Bat Out of Hell" fried fish, Ramu's creations all earned new nicknames seemingly by the day. No judge ever looked forward to his submissions, and when the time came for his dishes-always last-they always wept as they forced the food down. And yet, Ramu's realization always proved to be true: No matter he made, the judges always gave the the most praise and exhibited the biggest reactions. Thanks to his great realization, Ramu continued to enjoy victory after victory.
[What If...] Ramu, the Dark Chef - Part 3
Unfortunately for him, Rmau wasn't the only one to realize the "truth" about these competitions. Beginning at the other end of Latecia, Oliver James dominated competition after competition, rising up as a bring start of the dark culinary arts. His "Rubber Frisbee" pancakes and "Devil's Skin" tempura could stand toe to toe with Ramu's creations.
