“Flaming Moe’s” is the tenth episode of the third season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It first aired on the Fox network in the United States on November 21, 1991. In the episode, Homer tells Moe Szyslak about the Flaming Homer, an alcoholic cocktail of cough medicine and fire that he invented. Moe steals Homer’s recipe, renames it the Flaming Moe and sells it at his tavern. The drink is wildly successful and boosts Moe’s business, but Homer is angry at him for his betrayal and seeks revenge.

To be honest, what makes a chief great is not the receipe (it’s only a small part of it), but the execution. So if it doesn’t turn out okay, while it may be Arcana’s recipe’s portion is wrong, but it also could mean you have no talent. Ouch! BTW, it doesn’t matter which dish you are doing, the secret ingredient is always love.
