Line 6:
A [[Lethal Chef]] is someone whose cooking is so terrible that it could fall under the Geneva Convention as an inhumane weapon. A [[Supreme Chef]] is a superb cook, particularly the kind that participate in televised [[Cooking Duel|Cooking Duels]] where [[Iron Chef|"every battle, reputations are put on the line." ]]
Combine the lethal potential with sublime cooking skills and you get the [[Chef of Iron]]: a fighting cook, someone who can kick your ass ''and'' prepare a gourmet meal with equal ease. He/she is a bad person to have as an enemy but a good person to have invite you over to dinner.
Chefs of Iron fall into different, frequently overlapping types, not limited to:
* "Ordinary" (or more ordinary than the following examples at least) people who are skilled in normal combat and mundane, if excellent cookery; one or the other tends to be his day job. If the day job is fighting (i.e. military, police work) being a cook may show the character has a sensitive side (sometimes a case of [[Real Men Wear Pink]]); if cooking is the day job, they may be leading a double life of hidden [[Badass]]. Or, they might be a chef for an army or suchlike, where they do both at the same time. In this form, may overlap with the [[Almighty Janitor]].
* A cook whose special skills include using cooking implements in combat. They may be an [[Improbable Weapon User]]; there are many ways you can hurt people with boiling liquids, big chef's knives, [[Fork Fencing|eating utensils and cutlery]], [[Frying Pan of Doom|heavy skillets]], etc.. An angry [[Apron Matron]] brandishing a skillet or rolling pin at you may cross over into this trope slightly, especially if it's their primary means of defending themselves. Compare [[I Know Madden Kombat]].
* A chef for whom cooking ''is'' their means of fighting, and we're not talking about [[Cooking Duel|Cooking Duels]]. Entangling noodles, golems made of food, chemical weapons made from [[Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce|hot pepper sauce]], the <s>sky's</s> pantry's the limit. May be combined with kitchen implements as above. In this form, they are practicing [[Martial Arts and Crafts]].
May overlap with [[Evil Chef]] as a villainous version. Compare [[Battle Butler]].
Line 18:
Not to be confused with a [[Iron Chef|certain culinary contest]], in case you didn't bother checking out that pothole above.

{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* When the crew of the ''[[Cowboy Bebop|Bebop]]'' [[Perpetual Poverty|have food to cook,]] [[Badass]] ex-cop bounty hunter Jet can be counted on to whip something up, even if he only has one or two ingredients to work with.
* Kouji Kabuto from ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' was a [[Chef of Iron]] in the original manga. He is shown on screen to be the one that cooks for his household breakfast. It is also implied that his cooking is pretty good no matter how ridiculous it is (his croquette is huge (Sayaka said it’s a Mazinger class croquette referring to its size) and can shoot Rust Tornado (Unleash wind when cut) and Rocket Punch (launch a part of it when its cut, directly to Shiro's mouth), and of course he kicks ass in battle.
* Ukyo from ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma
** Cologne, when she moves to Japan, opens a noodle shop and picks up some martial arts moves of the entangling noodles variety. She also has her granddaughter Shampoo learn Martial-Arts Takeout Delivery.
* Sanji from ''[[One Piece]]'' is the archetypal "ordinary" Fighting Cook. He fights with his feet to save his cooking hands from damage and considers a Chef of Iron Type 3 to be a personal insult (he [[Berserk Button|REALLY hates it when people waste food]]). He actually used knives ''once'', to peel a Type 3 fighting in a noodle armor (it's okay because they were in a kitchen). Then he immediately put the knives away and switched back to kicking. There's also [[Badass Nickname|'Red Shoes']] Zeff, who trained him after simultaneously being Captain and Cook of his own ship.
** Baratie, Zeff's restaurant at sea, is actually filled completely with Type 2 Fighting Chefs, who are so fearsome that customers visit the restaurant just as much to watch them fight as eat their cooking.
* The anime ''Bistro Recipe/[[Fighting Foodons]]'' essentially turned Type 3 into Mons style food themed monsters.
* Akito Tenkawa from ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]]''... [[Ace Pilot]] and restaurant-level chef.
* [[Battle Butler|Sebastian]] of ''[[Black Butler]]'' can go kick some ass and be home in time to prepare a five-star meal.
* Bianchi from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]].'' Attacks enemies with her Poison Cooking.
* Shell and Leon from ''[[Chuuka Ichiban]]'' (mistranslated as ''Cooking Master Boy''). The former has a steel staff and the latter has seven knives including [[BFS|a large cleaver for cutting cows open]]. Following the context of the show, all these are simply fantastic cooking implements, but their owners are well able to put them to lethal use whenever they need to. Also in the series, they've faced opponents who are clearly superhuman as well as a [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|ninja chef]].
* Chao Lingshen of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''. Chef and owner of the Chao Bao Zi restaurant and [[Magitek]]-using [[Time Master]] [[Big Bad]] of the Mahora Festival [[Story Arc]].
** Also Eishun Konoe, who's both the greatest swordman in both mundane and magical world and [[Team Chef]] for his band of invincible idiots. [[Berserk Button|And Heaven help them if they don't eat it all.]]
Line 40:
* Makoto/Sailor Jupiter of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'': Being a soldier of justice, she's also a very good cook and respectable domestic figure (she has to be, given she lives alone and was [[Parental Abandonment|orphaned]]) which balances out her tough bruiser personality.
* Tenii in ''Shin [[Koihime Musou]]''. She impresses the main cast with her cooking at a local tavern, and is called on to prove her skill by Sousou. Then she grabs a raging bull by the horns and throws it into the air.
* [[Toriko]]
* Simon Brezhnev from ''[[Durarara]]'' is a Russian sushi chef and former member of the special forces. He demonstrates veritable [[Charles Atlas Superpower|Charles Atlas Superpowers]], jumping down several stories and stopping an equally strong guy throwing a vending machine mid-throw! And still he's a pacifist and only fights to stop fights with minimal violence. It's implied that the boss of the Russian Sushi is just as badass, though he's more subdued about it.
* After more than a decade (viewer time) of being little more than the munchkin in the kitchen, ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]''’s Sasami Masaki Jurai showed in the third OVA series that as well as cooking up a storm on a regular basis, she could not only out-think a highly-trained and heavily-armed Galaxy Police officer, but also hand her ass to her with little effort. Sasami would have been about nine years old at the time, and did not appear to use her divine connections or avatar powers at the time--just a quarterstaff that she kept tucked away in her hair. Seriously.
* Masaru Aoki from ''[[Hajime no Ippo]]'', a ramen restaurant cook who also is training to become a professional boxer.
* Shiro Takamachi of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''. Baker and owner of the popular Midoriya Cafe who also happens to be a [[Triangle Heart 3 ～sweet songs forever～|former ninja-assassin bodyguard]].
** We also have Hayate Yagami, the [[Team Chef]] of the Wolkenritter who also happens to be a [[Person of Mass Destruction]] capable of nuking cities with her magic.
* Sai Saici of ''[[G Gundam]]'' is a Type-1 with shades of Type-2. Not only is his food delicious, his cooking is quite showy, and quite a crowd-pleaser. His combat-skills, however, are unrelated to cooking - he uses basic Shaolin Kung-Fu, and quite well at that.
Line 54:
== Comic Books ==
* [[Deadpool]]: A girl from Deadpool's past calls this trope by name: "In the Heya kitchen, they call me... the Iron Chef!"
== Film ==
* Steven Seagal in his classic ''[[Under Siege]]''... when terrorists hijack a navy battleship, they secure the entire, battle-hardened crew... but they forget the ship cook. Who is a former Navy SEAL. Played by ''[[Steven Seagal]]'', of all people. Yeah, they're pretty much fucked.
{{quote|'''Jordan Tate:''' You're not a cook.
'''Casey Ryback:''' Yeah, well... I also cook. }}
** In the sequel, there is a scene where Seagal's character sends a message to his co-worker, another chef. And everyone expected serious kickassery... But it turned out he wanted the other chef just to call the [[Mission Control]].
* [[Ninja|Four guys in a Chinese kitchen]] in ''Dragon: The [[Bruce Lee]] Story'' rather suddenly become examples of this trope.
* Sammo Hung, another martial arts film star, has a movie called ''[[Kung Fu Chef]]''. Guess what it's about.
* The chef in ''[[Dragon Inn]]'' (another Martial Arts movie) is equally deadly with his meat cleaver in the kitchen and on the battlefield.
* The 1996 film ''[[The Long Kiss Goodnight]]'' has Geena Davis as an assassin who's lost her memory, living now as a suburban housewife. Her memories start to reemerge when she's in the kitchen. "Chefs do that," she says when she does a little flourish with her knife after chopping vegetables. A little later, when she kills some intruders with the same knife, she repeats the line. "Chefs do that."
* The 1997 [[Jackie Chan]] movie ''Mr Nice Guy'' stars Jackie as a TV chef. (In fact, in Spain the movie was titled ''Super Chef''.) Since it's [[Jackie Chan]], he obviously also kicks a lot of ass.
* If Colette is to be believed, ''most'' of the chefs in Gusteau's kitchen in [[Ratatouille]] are some form of this. The most amusing one is the sous chef who was in prison and tells a different story of his crime every time someone asks, including "I killed a man. With ''this thumb''."
Line 76:
== Literature ==
* In [[Robin McKinley]]'s ''Sunshine'', Sunshine, a baker, falls into the first category of [[Chef of Iron]], using magic and (you guessed it) the power of sunshine to duke it out with various [[Our Vampires Are Different|vampires]] threatening to kill her.
* Tamora Pierce's Trickster series has Chenaol, who is a superb cook (at least once the protagonist (who grew up in the western-Europe-fantasy-counterpart-culture) gets used to the southern-Asia-fantasy-counterpart-culture's cuisine) is also {{spoiler|one of the four leaders and the armorer of the rebel group and apparently is very effective with a meat cleaver in hand-to-hand combat}}.
** [[Circle of Magic|Winding Circle's]] [[Supreme Chef|Dedicate Gorse]] is implied to be this as well, if he ever left his kitchen for anything.
* For [[Lois McMaster Bujold]]'s ''[[Vorkosigan Saga]]'', Vorhopolous and his 1000 chefs spring to mind. He hired mercenaries as "cooks" and equipped them with butcher knives instead of swords, and the like, to follow the ''word'' of a law limiting the size of his army.
** Naturally, his penalty for breaking the law was to be placed in stocks and die of starvation. Let it never be said that the emperor at the time didn't have a sense of humour.
* [[Robert Heinlein]]'s ''Between Planets''. Charlie is a Chinese immigrant to the planet Venus. Not only is he an excellent cook, he knows how to handle a butcher knife and dies fighting against an invasion of the planet.
* Fritz from ''[[Nero Wolfe]]'' is a very early example of this trope.
* Farqual from ''[[The Bartimaeus Trilogy]]'' by ''[[Jonathan Stroud]]''.
* Vlad Taltos in the ''[[Dragaera]]'' series is a professional assassin and amateur cook (and gourmand). His father owned a restaurant, which he inherited and ran briefly before joining the equivalent of the Mafia.
* Polgara the Sorceress from [[David Eddings]]' ''[[Belgariad]]''. She can turn you into a turnip and then fix you the best dinner ever (but not necessarily in that order).
* In ''The Hero from Otherwhere'' by Jay Williams, a legendary swordsman is beaten by a cook wielding a ladle and a cauldron lid. {{spoiler|The cook is the ''real'' legendary swordsman and the other an impostor.}}
* Harry Kressing's novel ''The Cook'' features the mysterious Conrad, who is able to manipulate and control people through his cooking, while using his superlative knife skills in combat with rivals.
* Escrima in the [[Phule's Company]] novels.
* Rae from ''[[Sunshine (novel)|Sunshine]]'', especially when faced with vampires near her kitchen. She'll drop them with a table knife.
== Live Action TV ==
* Eliot from ''[[Leverage]]''. In "The Wedding Job", he demonstrates that he's eerily schooled in the differences in proper knife-holding techniques for different tasks, causing Nathan to become visibly disturbed.
{{quote|'''Eliot''':"Hold a knife this way, dice an onion. Hold a knife '''this''' way, slice through eight Yakuza in four seconds..."}}
** That same episode has Eliot dispatching <s> a thug</s> [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|The Butcher of]] [[Wretched Hive|Kiev]] by shoving a pair of ''hors d'oeuvres'' in his eyes that he squirted lemon juice on.
Line 120:
* Ogre Butchers from ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'', who use a specialized Lore known as "Gut Magic".
** Halflings also qualify. As well as being excellent cooks they are known to be talented thieves and capable archers. In addition to serving as skirmishers on the battlefield they also employ the Halfling Hot Pot, an artillery piece consisting of a giant slingshot used to hurl pots of scalding hot soup at the enemy.
** More specifically, there's the Fighting Cooks, a mercenary squadron of <s>Hobbits</s>Halflings who are highly-skilled as trackers, hunters, and ambushers - and quite capable of going head-to-head too. More importantly, they improve the morale of the entire army with their delicious cooking!
* Clan Anklebiter: a D&D tribe of gnome barbarians. Favorite food: Orc. The tribe's manhood trial consists of finding the biggest, baddest monster they can, killing it, and then cooking it for the tribal elders. (Hint: passing the manhood trial isn't based on how well you ''kill'' the critter...)
* There was a 1st level downloadable adventure for D&D 3rd edition where the final boss was a Calzone Golem!
* The Knights of the Knowledge of the Tongue from [[Changeling: The Lost]] probably qualify. The Knights are always on the search for new flavors, particularly those of Goblin Fruits and Hedge Beasts. Which means they need to be fit to walk into, and survive, [[The Lost Woods|the Hedge]].
* Pete, The Chef : From an unnamed sci-fi survival board game distributed in an issue of [[In Quest]]. Given the lack of depth to this, this trope is all there is to this character.
== Theatre ==
* Mason from ''[[Journey's End]]'', chef to a British reigment and [[Deadpan Snarker]] who must also fight.
* [[Cyrano De Bergerac]]: Baker Ragueneau is a realistic example of this trope at Act IV: He is a supreme chef who is capable of cooking enough food for a regiment and then he cleverly disguises in a carriage (and to occult the smell!) to smuggle it through enemy lines for the French troops (he is the coachman and goes through various Spanish checkpoints). He is risking his life for his friends, the cadets.
== Video Games ==
* In the first ''[[Hitman]]'' game, you get attacked by one of the chefs wielding a meat cleaver.
* ''[[Chrono Cross]]'' has Orcha, cursed to also become an [[Evil Chef]] sometimes.
* The ''[[Suikoden]]'' series has several, but the most notable one is no doubt Hai Yo from ''Suikoden II''. Quite possibly the finest chef in the world, and a master of the [[Cooking Duel]], he is also available as a combat unit, with decent stats, and an interesting fighting-style. Wields kitchen-implements.
* Regal from ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' is a fighter who cooks well.
* Jam Kuradoberi from ''[[Guilty Gear]]'': master chef who dreams of opening a restaurant as well as fighting ''ki'' master.
* ''[[Street Fighter IV]]'' has El Fuerte, a [[Masked Luchador]] cook who enters the tournament to find new recipe ideas.
* Marshall Law from ''[[Tekken]]''. He's even called "the fighting chef".
* Elzam von Branstein of ''[[Super Robot Wars]]''. Gourmet chef with a [[Badass]] [[Super Robot]] and unstoppable theme song. Real Men Ride Each Other.
* From ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'', we have Quina, who is also an [[Extreme Omnivore]], wielding an oversized set of cutlery in combat, along with [[Ambiguous Gender|his/her]] chef-hat. It's never clarified if Quina's cooking is [[Alien Lunch|edible by humans]].
** It is - see the scene with Quina and Eiko in Madain Sari, wherein Quina demonstrates expertise on human food preparation techniques.
*** Heck, he/she was a ''chef'' in Castle Alexandria, if you visited the kitchen.
* Henpecked Hou from ''[[Jade Empire]]''. Although he's sworn off fighting due to his wife, he was once a master of the Drunken Master kung-fu style, and can teach it to the player.
* ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]: Absence of Justice'' has Mr. Champloo. He's a Demonic Cooking Teacher Martial Artist! Boom!
** Keep in mind, this isn't new for ''[[Nippon Ichi]]''; the class of Makai Chef already existed in ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'', which is one of the few classes that can master the frying pan and pie weapon types.
* In ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'', Saucerors and Pastamancers fit the Type 3 description to a T; Saucerors conjure various hot/cold/spicy sauce spells to hurt the monsters and can craft potions by cooking them; Pastamancers have spells such as "Entangling Noodles" and can summon pasta golems. Both classes also acquire skills that let them cook high-quality food items.
** There are also enemies that fit the bill - Degrassi Knoll and the Gnollish War Chef, the Assistant Chefs in Cobb's Knob each have chefs, the Spookyraven Manor has zombie chefs and at the higher levels during the war between the hippies and the frat boys each side has the Baker Company (think herbal brownies) and the Grill Seargents respectively. (The later two, you might expect, kick considerably more ass, especially the [[Elite Mook]] versions.)
* ''[[Clay Fighter]] 63 1/3'' has Kung Pow, a Chinese chef who attacks with woks, chopsticks, knives, and other cooking utensils. All his moves are named after Chinese dishes.
* One level in ''[[Medal of Honor|Medal of Honor: Frontline]]'' takes place on a U-Boat, with the player fighting his way past the entire crew. The level route goes through the galley, where the U-Boat's cook will attack by throwing knives. He goes down easy, though. These chefs also appear in later levels and games, I think.
* [[Fat Bastard|Gordo]] from ''[[Skies of Arcadia]]'': you first meet the man when he attacks your ship intending on looting it's kitchen, he is one of the most feared pirates in the northern skies and owns a bistro you have to visit in the game. For the most part Gordo and his crew qualify as type 2, using kitchen knives as weapons and dressed up as chefs, one of Gordo's specials however ranks him up to type three.
* [[Kirby]] can eat a fighting cook enemy to gain the ability to cook his foes. Kirby can also use this ability in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Brawl]]'' as his Final Smash.
* One of [[Game and Watch|Mr. Game & Watch's]] attacks in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' has him pull out a frying pan and fling out food that harms opponents.
* The main character of a Playstation 1 (originally 3DO) shooter called ''PO'ed'' is a chef [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE!!]] whose ship crash lands on an alien planet; he has to fight his way out with whatever he's got, including kitchen implements.
* ''[[Power Stone]]'' has ''two'' battling chefs, Wangtang and Gourmand.
* ''[[Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard]]'' gives us the [[Halo|Master Chef]], who goes into battle wearing futuristic armor that includes a big metal chef's hat, and a potholder on one hand.
Line 167:
** The sad part is, I personally wouldn't know how well he fights because I had recently gotten a [[Game Breaker|unique pistol]] that allowed me to finish him before he had finished pulling out his pistol.
*** as well as everybody else in a 1 yard area of me.
* Your player character in the ''[[Rune Factory]]'' games can become this, optionally. Put enough effort in, and you can create dishes that will wow even the local gourmand or [[Supreme Chef]]. ''[[Rune Factory 3]]'' even allows you to craft utensils for use in battle.
* It's easy to forget that, while [[Galaxy Angel (video game)|Milfeulle Sakuraba]] is a very cheerful [[Supreme Chef]], her day job is piloting a manned weapon of mass-destruction that sports a [[BFG]]. You do not want to cross her. Ever.
Line 173:
== Web Comics ==
* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' did the parody story of "[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Muffin the Vampire Baker]]", complete with armaments such as a portable oven. Of course, Sam has some things to show them about more effective (and traditional) ways to deal with said vampires...
* ''[[Ronin Galaxy]]'': Giancarlo can hold his own in a gunfight and still manage to cook up a full-course meal for breakfast the next morning.
* Type 3 is very important in ''[[Triangle and Robert]],'' where several of the characters are "Cuisine Mages" who can cast awesomely powerful spells derived from cooking.
* ''[[Badass Grandpa|Ol' Man]] [[Badass Nickname|Death]]'' of ''[[Girl Genius]]''. [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100524 Can make you any type of sandwich you can name] (but no soup). And [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100526 kick] a [[Super Soldier|Jägermonster's]] ass [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100602 without being too distracted from sandwiches].
Line 181:
{{quote|Everyone: '''[[Blood Knight|SHE]]''' can cook?<br />
[[Muggle Best Friend|Fumiko]]: Duh! }}
** Later:
{{quote|Fumiko: I thought you said she remade the chocolate?
[[Dangerously Genre Savvy|Sal]]: She must have. {{spoiler|It's more [[Divide by Zero|hideous]] than before.}} }}
Line 189:
* Most of the cooks in ''[[Banana-nana-Ninja!]]'': Feast Master, especially Baninja and the Feast Master Champion, certainly qualify. Especially when {{spoiler|the Champion goes [[One-Winged Angel]] and becomes a [[Humongous Mecha]] wielding giant cooking utensils as weapons.}}
** Also, the Sumo Baker from Banana Shop of Horrors is a Type 3 who fires magic muffins.
* In ''[[Darwin's Soldiers]]'', Dean Nixon joins in the chase through Las Vegas in the second RP. He is the Pelvanida chef.
* Heinrich, the [[Funny Animal|anthropomorphic]] [[Everything's Worse with Bears|bear]] chef from [[Ursula Vernon|Ursula Vernon's]] [http://gearworld.livejournal.com/ Book of the Gear]. Do '''not''' mess with his truffle oil if you want to live.
== Western Animation ==
* Granny Stuffem from ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' uses her creations as a monster army, with varying abilities, all of which are capable of incapacitating you by making you eat them. [[Crazy Awesome|While singing pastiches of]] [[GWAR]] songs.
* The Lunch Lady Ghost, [[Danny Phantom]]'s enemy.
* Roadblock of ''[[G.I. Joe]]'': A gourmet chef who also happens to be a [[BFG]]-wielding [[Scary Black Man]].
* The Breadmaster on [[The Tick (animation)]] ([[Evil Chef]] type). Do not mess with his dangerous and yet delicious army of gingerbread cookies.
** "Not baked goods, Professor; baked bads!"
* ''[[Celebrity Deathmatch]]'' featured the four-armed Japanese chef Beni Trauma, who is thought to have the DNA of Emeril Lagasse.
* In [[Futurama]], Bender proves a literal example by being a chef of 30% iron.
** And various other metals like titanium, zinc, dolomite, etc. It varies by episode and the [[Rule of Funny|requirements of the gag being made.]]
== Real Life ==
* Chef Harold Hillard was awarded three bronze stars, a silver star, and earned himself three purple hearts during his service as a US Marine (in both the Korean and Vietnam wars). After he retired from active duty, he became a chef. He now trains chefs at Kaiser University's Tallahassee, Florida campus. Specifically, he teaches meat cutting and knife skills (one of his students in the fine art of rendering meat from whole pieces to small bleeding chunks was, in fact, the same Robert Irvine who will be appearing in the next example). The man's almost 80 years old, and can debone an entire pig in less than 20 minutes. Don't mess with him.
* Robert Irvine, MCFA (C.G.) of the [[Food Network]]'s ''Dinner: Impossible''. He's a Royal Navy veteran. On top of it all, he's buffed and cut enough to look like he could kick your ass with ease.
** Cue the [[Fan Girl|Fangirls]]. And [[Even the Guys Want Him|Fanboys]].
* Doris Miller was in Pearl Harbor assigned as a Cook Third Class on the USS ''West Virginia'' on Dec. 7, 1941. When the Japanese attack started, his battle station at an antiaircraft battery had already been destroyed, so he went on deck and manned a 50 caliber Browning anti-aircraft machine gun (which he hadn't been trained to use) for 15 minutes until he ran out of ammunition. He was awarded a Navy Cross from Admiral Nimitz. He was also the ship's heavyweight boxing champion.
