The restaurant fell silent. They were all regarding Mag thoughtfully.
Cooks were ordinary, but restaurants couldn't do without them.
Most cooks didn't like to be referred to as cooks when they also happened to be a restaurateur. They considered themselves much more than cooks.
But not Mag. Even when his food was marvelous, his restaurant was stylish, and his business was great, he still called himself a cook.
His modesty humbled his counterparts and won admiration of many customers.
No wonder he can cook such incredible food. He knows what he and his purpose in life are. He's a formidable opponent, Miles thought with approval.
Andrew and the other restaurateurs nodded at Mag, thoughtful. Then they left.
