Team Chef: Difference between revisions

* [[One Piece|Sanji]] is a gourmet chef as well as a very decent fighter, which is important considering [[Big Eater|the nature]] of many of his pirate crewmates. He fights [[Extremity Extremist|using only]] [[Dance Battler|his legs]] so that he can protect his "chef's hands". And Heaven help you if you either [[Berserk Button|dislike his table service or leave your meal unfinished]].

* Mao from ''[[Chuuka Ichiban]]'' is a variation. In a [[Cooking Duel]] show where almost ''every'' main character and antagonist is a master chef, he is far and away the best of the lot. He's also the one who most often solves problems with his cooking as his lack of the complicated ancestral techniques most of his opponents bring to the arena forces him to pick up a talent for improvisation. He does have [[Badass Abnormal|a superhuman sense of taste]] and [[Photographic Memory|eidetic recall of ingredients]] on his side, however.

* [[Tenchi Muyo!]]! Sasami. Enough said.

* ''[[Love Hina]]'': Shinobu is the resident chef at the Hinata Apartments despite being one of the youngest.

* Kana from ''[[Kanamemo]]'', replacing Yume--much to the delight of the rest of the team.

* Reeves from ''[[Kurogane Communication]]''.

* In ''[[Junjou Romantica]]'', Misaki is frequently seen cooking and is probably the only character who can cook, with Usami and Shinobu's incompetence reaching [[Lethal Chef]] proportions. (His sister-in-law comments that she feels shy about serving him dinner, since he's a better cook than she is...)

* From ''[[Yotsunoha]]'', Nono is the official [[Team Chef]], making food to feed her friends including [[Big Eater|Yuzuki]].

* Bistèque of the French [[Kid Detective]] novels ''[[Les Six Compagnons]]'' filled this role in the titular team.

* In ''[[Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows]]'', when Harry, Ron and Hermione are starting to get on each other's nerves after roaming Britain for a while, Ron complains about Hermione's cooking and she demands to know [[Stay in the Kitchen|why she's the one who always ends up doing to cooking anyway]].

* Gong Su from ''[[Temeraire]]''. He was originally a dragon chef<ref>just to be clear, a human who cooks for dragons</ref> hired on to cook for Temeraire, but crept into the role of cooking for Temeraire's human crewmen as well by virtue of being the only one on the crew who's any good at it.

 

* Genta/ShinkenGold from ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]]'' is the one we see doing most of the cooking aside from Mako/ShinkenPink the resident [[Lethal Chef]]. The rest of the Shikengers are the most frequent customers at his sushi cart. He actually is pretty boring cook, as many say his sushi is bland but edible enough, he dreams of getting two Michelin stars; and his curry rice is excellent but he wants to be a sushi seller alone.

** [[The Smart Guy|Don]]/GokaiGreen from ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'' goes a step beyond with this trope and actually keeps his teammates' dietary information on hand, so that he can suitably alter their portions based on their needs. When [[Sixth Ranger|Gai]]/GokaiSilver is added to the crew, he joins Don in this role and even improves on the recipes he's written.
