The sentence that contains an example of verbal irony is:

"Seeing the untouched bowls of chili, the chef laughed. 'One of my biggest hits!'"

In this case, the chef is humorously claiming success (a "hit") while the untouched chili suggests that it is not well-received, creating a contrast between what is said and the reality of the situation.
