Is it better than Heat? I believe so, in nearly every way. In fact, I would have no problem posting this in my gallery had I done it. But is it superlative? Eh, not so much. Some nice touches with the box, type and matte finish, but ultimately predictable and a little overcrowded — this taken to “11” would be ideal, IMHO.

Chefs, whip that up for us, won’t you?
