The photo that triggered President Donald Trump’s furious response to the magazine.

 

PROLOGUE — A PHOTO, A CHALLENGE

Chef Victor had poured his heart into a signature dish: a chocolate souffle layered with a surprise passionfruit cream. He submitted it to “Gourmet Horizons”, a prestigious culinary magazine.

Days later, the magazine published a photo of a rival chef’s dessert, claiming it as the “most inventive” of the season. Victor stared at the photo in disbelief—his dish had been overlooked.

Fueled by frustration, Victor decided to revisit his recipe, elevate it, and turn the next dinner service into a culinary spectacle.
