Still, even with just one egg, making it look enormous was not particularly difficult for a cook like Heath. The white would be very thin, but it looked like a lot. Sometimes, looking like a lot was a kind of power in itself, and Heath knew that very well.
Back when Heath ran a business, he had studied the question of what size bowls and utensils to give customers. At the time, he had opened a restaurant with a friend, contributing both money and labor. The same portion of noodles gave people different impressions when served in bowls of different sizes.
