This one doesn't work for me. Just too... marketing-ish.

>Design is like food >A good chef makes it smell, taste and look great >But a great chef makes it healthy too

This one doesn't work for me either. How healthy a dish is has absolutely zero bearing on how great the chef who made it is. It can happen to coincide, but since when have chefs ever been rated on how healthy they can make a meal?

It's not a real koan unless it ends with "... and he hit the student with a stick; with this, he was enlightened."
