On season 1 episode 2, it is quite clear that Nakiri Erina rejects Somas
application and says nobody passed the transfer exam.

I'm aware of the single shot which shows the director hanging in the
background, but he didn't taste the food nor is it clear that he issued the
invitation to Soma.

So how does Soma get invited to Totsuki?

How does Yukihira Soma get into Totsuki Culinary Academy?


In the very same episode (or in the manga, I forget which), it was shown that
the director did tasted Soma's cookings. He probably (I 95% believe it was him
considering the situations) was the one that overriden Nakiri Erina's
decision.

Chapter 4 of the manga, when Nakiri is toeing off against Souma after the
welcoming ceremonies and we see the headmaster watching them, we get the
following flashback page:

It's shown in the anime... After the credits I believe. There is always
something after the credits of each episode and I'm not talking about just the
preview for the next episode.
