A cook wearing a black cap, a face mask, and a dark uniform with orange trim leans over a large flat-top griddle inside a commercial kitchen. Holding a small metal cup, his hand presses down to smooth thin, circular dosas across the heated surface as plumes of steam drift upward. Black granite countertops flank the cooking area, accompanied by neat stacks of plates and stainless steel fixtures against a tiled backdrop. Focused ambient lighting illuminates the precise motion of his craft while leaving the foreground in deep shadow.
