Pike mentions that he would be excited to set foot on Archer’s Enterprise. In “These Are the Voyages…” we learn that he is the one who wrote the parameters for a popular holo-simulation where the user plays the role of the NX-01’s chef.

I don’t recall the program’s author being mentioned, much less it being attributed to Pike. 🤔

I deeply appreciated seeing some on-screen Enterprise love, because I feel like Enterprise gets a bum wrap.

I haven’t gotten around to Lower Decks, but this episode was simply brilliant even for me. Just sublime all around.
