Master Chef Kelly had left quickly, obviously in a hurry to reach the bathroom. Seeing an opportunity, Chef Francois had boldly stuck his nose into Chef Kelly’s business and then, as he realized he had gotten in over his head, he quickly pulled his head from the cooking pot.

His nose dripped with the hot gooey caramel that had been bubbling in Chef Kelly’s pot…nosy, and curious about this sticky mess, Chefs Henri and Raymond also joined in, sticking their noses in where they didn’t belong.
