Tourné Tutoring & Pork Belly Touching at Le Cordon Bleu

Just when it seemed like an ordinary day, I walked into the after-school tutoring lab at Le Cordon Bleu. I feel like it should be called the tutoring lab, but it's actually a super important kitchen classroom. Students are allowed to walk into this room and request help from a real live teacher.

Le Cordon Bleu does not discriminate against cooking rookies. If someone filed a lawsuit against them, that person would lose. Le Cordon Bleu could probably turn around and sue the suer for falsely suing. Le Cordon Bleu has the nicest admission guy in the history of nice admission guys.
