Amanda slowly sampled each dorayaki with a certain...critical...look in her eyes. This type of food wasn't the RA's specialty, but that didn't mean she didn't know how to judge it. On the contrary, she would have never been permitted to be an RA at a place like the Culinary Collegia if she couldn't be open-minded enough and willing enough to learn to judge things outside of her expertise.<br/><br/>The savory dorayaki hit her tongue; she'd taken a small bite. Then she tried a bite of another. There was a long pause...and without comment, she moved to the sweet ones. She seemed to really be giving it some thought until she declared, "This is one of the weirdest dishes I've ever tried, and that's sayin' something!" Her Southern accent bled out when feeling strongly it seemed! Uncomfortable, Sato asked, "Is weird....bad?"<br/><br/>Amanda looked at Eve, Brooke, and Sato, and for a moment everyone thought the RA was going to put them on blast.<br/><br/>But then it was like the clouds broke over the horizon.<br/><br/>"It's good! This is the sort of creativity I want to see and that I can guarantee the instructors here want to see. This shouldn't work. By all rights, it really shouldn't. You have too many disparate cultural fusions here, you have too many flavors, and the styles are baffling. But it's honestly one of the best things I've ever had! I think you three are going to have really bright futures here."<br/><br/>Sato hollered in triumph and pumped his fist in the air. Amanda shot him a glare and said, "Don't get cocky--there's others here who can take you down a peg. I'm one of them. How about you three try that chicken I made earlier and see what you're up against?"<br/><br/>Sato had the decency to look embarassed; he'd just accidentally made all three of them look kind of arrogant. But he didn't hesitate to go get some chicken. He could feel how the other students were glaring at him, Eve, and Brooke with envy. He whispered to the girls as he went to get chicken, "I'm not cocky and she only made fried chicken--"<br/><br/>He got a piece.<br/><br/>He took a bite.<br/><br/>The flavor! The herbs! The perfect crisp skin! The juice--it was so juicy! It had the perfect texture, too!<br/><br/>"AAAAAA THIS IS THE BEST CHICKEN I HAVE EVER HAD," he screamed in utter shock.<br/><br/>Sato had no idea how the girls would react to this, but for him it was a huge reality check.<br/>
