The story
Five world titles, and she is out on the street on purpose.
Chef Sage has just taken her fifth World Culinary Championship and has no interest in being loved for it, so she puts on rags and goes undercover as a beggar to find someone with genuine character. Everybody walks past her, and her ex makes a performance of mocking her. Jasper is the one who stops and gives her his food. He is also about to lose his family's restaurant to a vicious corporate takeover, so he hires the "beggar" he just fed to play his wealthy fake fiancee. When rival factions corner the Vance family into a high stakes Culinary Death Match and there is no way out, the beggar bride drops the disguise. One flash of her blade, one burst of her signature blue flame, and a room full of world class chefs finds out exactly who they have been standing next to.
