But when his beloved 15-year seasoned cast iron pot was filled with soapy water, the Gourmet Gladiator had had enough! Let’s dive into this delicious drama!

In a tale that’s part love story, part culinary drama, our Gourmet Gladiator finds his kitchen in chaos. His girlfriend’s cooking habits have left his treasured equipment scratched, dented, and deformed.
