Line 34:
* There a whole bunch of these and wannabes in ''[[Oishinbo]]''.
* The main character Taisuke from ''[[Alive the Final Evolution]]'' is an incredible chef considering the dishes he makes while on the road.
* All of the female suitors, and [[Real Men Wear Pink|Ranma Saotome]], on ''[[Ranma One Half½]]'' other than Akane is one of these, and she wants to be one.
** Ranma's [[Hot Shounen Mom|mother, Nodoka]], is [[Take Our Word for It|supposed to be truly remarkable]] --as spoken by a man who often indulges in every kind of food he can snatch.
** Shampoo is somewhat debatable. She once tried to feed Ranma a raw, cold, ''live'' pig she found on the street. Didn't even wash it first. Maybe she should stick to noodles.
*** She made it into "Canton-style Pork with Hibiscus", and given the predominance of [[Slapstick]] and the fact that Ryoga is [[Nigh Invulnerable]], is it really impossible that Ryoga was actually roasted alive, but survived? See the "[[You Fail Biology Forever]]" entry on the [[Ranma One Half½]] page for lists of other, even more bizarre biological feats.
* Sasami of ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' is an excellent chef. In the manga, she was so good that she even baked her sister a carrot cake that she loves despite the fact that Ayeka hates carrots. Sasami even competes in an ''[[Iron Chef]]''-style [[Cooking Duel]] with several other child chefs.
** Don't forget [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!|Airi]], who in her spare time between running Galaxy Police Academy, politicking, spying and berserking when someone would [[Berserk Button|call her "granma"]], runs a very successful little restaurant. Note that they ''both'' learned to cook from [[Magnificent Bastard|Seto]]. [[Red Baron|Demon Princess of Jurai]] has many talents indeed.
Line 154:
* Pictured above: [[Cooking Mama]] from the titular game, she knows exactly how to make each dish and (usually) walks you through the process. If your dish is really good, people will stuff themselves.
* Elzam from ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' fit this trope as well, an excellent commander as well as an excellent chef. The first thing he does when transferred to a new post is cook up a gourmet meal for all the soldiers stationed there. He's also able to survive Kusuha's [[Gargle Blaster|"energy drinks"]] without fainting and identify all the ingredients used based on the taste. His [[Paper-Thin Disguise]] is even named Ratsel Feinschmecker, which means "mystery gourmet".
* Chef Shmi of ''[[Paper Mario: theThe Thousand -Year Door]]'' says this of himself. Not that anybody disagrees.
* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', Genis has a reputation as a [[Supreme Chef]] in Iselia and has several scenes in the beginning of the game with characters praising his cooking... Though considering [[Lethal Chef|his older sister Raine]], it's almost a ''necessity'' for him. Genis is not the altogether best chef in the game, however: That would be Regal, who earns the special title "God of the Kitchen" in a late-game sidequest.
* For ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]''; in the short time you have him, [[Guest Star Party Member|Asch]] is shown to be a great chef via skit, in contrast to Natalia and Luke who are his {{spoiler|[[Childhood Marriage Promise|fiance]] and [[Cloning Blues|replica]], respectively}}, both of whom are no good in a kitchen.
Line 168:
** As is Oscar in ''[[Fire Emblem Tellius]]'', from taking care of his little brothers Boyd and Rolf. He stopped being the [[Team Chef]] of the Greil Mercenaries to let Mist have a go, though Ike wasn't so keen on the idea. He offers to help [[Lethal Chef|Tanith]] with cooking, in their POR support.
* In ''[[Star Ocean the Second Story|Star Ocean: The Second Story]]'', while all main characters can become Supreme Chefs thanks to the Skill System, Chisato, Rena, and Yarma are those who canonically apply.
** In ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time|Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time]]'', you have Sophia who's Skill level in cooking is 43, she can even work on a budget and in a hurry as her Cost and Time modifiers might show. Nel is about as handy in the kitchen as she is with a blade and Mirage isn't half bad either.
*** As for NPCs you can recruit, you have [[Big Eater|Rigel]], [[Genki Girl|Mayu]], The Killer Chef and [[The Alcoholic|Damda Mooda]]. Mayu and Damda might raise doubts for their skill level, but canonically speaking they're still exceptional chefs.
* The main character of ''[[Persona 4]]'' is implied to be an excellent chef, especially for his age. He apparently makes most of the food at home, and can (if the player knows a little about cooking) make some very good school lunches to share with friends. One social link ([[Lethal Chef|Yukiko's]]) involves helping the character get better at cooking (though she refuses to be directly tutored if you offer).
Line 174:
* Shinjiro Aragaki in ''[[Persona 3]]'' proves capable of cooking restaurant-quality dishes (while lecturing [[Lethal Chef|Fuuka]] at the same time). With a little prompting from the female protagonist, he makes a lavish dinner for the team, with every dish described as looking like a picture out of a cookbook and tasting delicious. In the PSP [[R Emake]], the female protagonist herself specializes in sweets which can be given as gifts, and can even remedy some of Fuuka's cooking blunders.
* [[Sengoku Rance]] has a few: [[Oda Nobunaga]] (dango), [[Ninja Maid|Kikkawa Kiku]] (general cuisine), and [[Joke Character|Imagawa Yoshimoto]] (imagawayaki).
* In ''[[Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story|Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', Bowser reluctantly admits that [[Big Bad|Fawful's]] cooking is amazing.
* in ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'', you character can become one if he or she has high enough survival skills. Being able to turn a rotten piece of meat from an mutated animal into a first-class gourmet dish. Strangely enough, [[Complete Monster|Cook-Cook]] of the [[Always Chaotic Evil|Fiends]] is noted as a highly skilled cook despite being a drug-addled pyromaniacal rapist.
* The 'main' Ann in most ''[[Harvest Moon]]'' games shows signs of this. Ironically, in her [[Harvest Moon 64|first game]] she was a [[Lethal Chef]].
* One of the targets in the [[Murder, Inc.|Dark Brotherhood]] questline in ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]'' is a legendary chef known only as "The Gourmet". Certain members state that his recipes indeed live up to their reputation and are actually somewhat disappointed that he's to be assassinated. He keeps his identity a secret with only the chef of Markarth knowing who he is: {{spoiler|Turns out he's an Orc.}}
