About the show
“Vulnerability, memory, and a touching backstory, that’s how you make a perfect dish.”
In his own kitchen, a rising chef rehearses the story behind the dish that made him famous. Memories of empathy, friendship, and belonging marinate the narrative he prepares for the public. Yet as the dish begins to speak, his story becomes impossible to control.
What’s hidden in the story we tell in our daily routine? A Perfect Dish explores memory, narrative, and the quiet violence we build around ourselves in order to live an ordinary life.
