A renowned? but snobby food critic finds himself trapped in a Michelin star restaurant after a snowstorm with the volatile French chef whose previous establishment closed down due to a scathing review he wrote.

Instead of a snowstorm (which is unintentional) I would think that the chef intentionally trapped the critic.

I agree with Mike. We don’t even know what the chef wants to do. Revenge is the first that comes to mind, but not necessarily.

Even if we go with revenge, we still don’t know What kind of revenge the chef plans to do. Extort him? Just kill him? Kill him, cook him, and serve him to the next critic? Cook his foot and serve it to him?

As you see, each different kind of revenge reveals both a different kind of character and of story genre.
