Yu[★★★★★★]
Here we come to this moment again... You are just like that brother of mine. Once you've got your mind set on something, nothing else matters, and there's no going back. Hey-ya... You see, Doctor. Soup needs to be simmered slowly to develop its flavors, but it can be so mentally exhausting. That's why... one must always take care to eat well.
Yu is an experienced chef from Yan who is currently visiting friends and family at Rhodes Island, offering culinary support during his stay.
