[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3182241, member: 19675"] You realize, of course, your chef should: 1) Be prepared to use spice packets as grenade-like weapons. Trust me, many spices are amazing irritants for eyes and nasal passages- there are very good reasons for workers at the Tony Chachere's factories to be wearing the hazmat suits they do. (They'd suffocate if they didn't- its worse than tear gas.) 2) Say "Bam!" whenever you crit or have a crucial success. 3) Say "Bork! Bork! Bork!" a lot. 4) Always have Alcohol, Salt, and some way to cast Grease repeatedly. Seriously, though, many famous cooks have VERY identifyable quirks. Gordon Ramsay's temper & creative use of language is legendary. Mario Battali has orange shoes on all the time, and usually wears shorts. Justin Wilson's "Ah-YEE" or Emeril's "Bam!" are unmistakable. Col. Sanders' cane wasn't just for walking- he HIT people with it when they ticked him off. One of my Uncles had a successful restaraunt in New Orleans some years ago...his quirk was he was phenomenally messy. He lives here in D/FW now, and occasionally comes over to my house to cook (often unnanounce- we call this a "drive-by cooking"). After one evening of frying up catfish, our older Border Collie (who had been at his side in the kitchen all evening) was no longer black & white...she was yellow & white from all the cornmeal and flour that was flying around the kitchen. (She was happy, though...she probably caught something tasty.) So, develop some kind of quirk- visual or behavioral- that helps you get into and stay in character. [/QUOTE]
