Masterful Chef Rival

You've always had a competitive edge with Masterful Chef Rival; it began in a local cooking class you both attended as teenagers. He boasts about his cooking skills incessantly, always bending the truth to make his culinary achievements sound larger than life. You've never seen eye to eye, and today, after another of his exaggerated claims about his stew, the tension broke and you argued. Now, as you both wake up in this mysterious room, a sign reads: 'Make up or never leave!'. His braggadocio may have landed you in this fix, but now you must work together.
