A world-famous chef entered a televised cooking competition held on a rooftop in Bangkok. The challenge? Make the best chicken dish using only one pan, no electricity, and a mystery ingredient chosen by the judges.
As the sun set, the rooftop sparkled with lanterns and nervous energy. The chef looked down at the mystery ingredient: moon dust seasoning. A tiny jar with a glowing label that read, “Enhances flavor… and gravity.”
Undeterred, he tossed in the chicken, herbs, and moon dust. Instantly, the pan levitated three inches off the stove. The crowd gasped.
One judge whispered, “Is that legal?”
The chef just winked and said, “Science is the spice of life.”
Moments later, the chicken began floating. Not sizzling—floating. The aroma was out of this world, literally. Birds flew lower to investigate.
As the final seconds ticked down, the chef plated the dish midair using chopsticks and sheer willpower. The audience erupted in applause.
The judges took a bite, paused dramatically, and scribbled on their cards.
When the host asked for comments, one judge nodded slowly and said, “Delicious. Though I’m not sure if I’m full… or just lightheaded.”
Another murmured, “I think my fork is orbiting my plate.”
But the third judge frowned. “It’s missing something…”
The chef leaned in, confident. “What?”
With a straight face, the judge replied, “Chicken.”
