The amoeba has a chef’s hat, this goes deeper.

What's deeper than a single-celled organism? A virus? And what if the virus has a chef's hat?

Helium atom

Helium atom hat has subatomic particles in it, sub atomic particles hat has quarks in it, quarks hat has the higgs boson in it, the higgs boson hat has nothing in it, the nothing is wearing a hat with the whole universe in it

and then a single proton and then a quark

Some Plank length motherfucker spicing everything up, in the end.

And deep within the plank length motherfucker is some exotic energy field with the beginnings of an inflation bubble

Assuming we're sticking to some kind of physical realism, either the art of cooking can fit in a virus capsid, or it's encoded into the larger laws of physics somehow. I don't think there's anything in between that could possibly respond in a complex-but-controlled way.

Edit: Although come to think of it, there should probably be more layers after roach. Maybe fruit fly next; that's an awfully big tardigrade and one of the larger protists, and as a result a normal-sized bacteria would probably fit quite comfortably on top.

If you reeeeally think about it this is what happens when we actually cook too. That one neuron wants that basil and wants it bad

You’re right, it’s like our brains are controlled by neurons /s in a self-owning dumb way not a snide way

More likely a group of neurons, and they fight the rest of the network to try get more basil. And within single cell that shit is hard-coded into the genome.

Imagine the latency...

Hmm, what would the maximum latency for cooking be, assuming basic motor functions can be handled locally, as well as simple instructions? "Put some basil in that shit" is usually something that could happen a full minute later.

What does the thing say in the end? Its blurred
