Like the thread title says, list some of the best fictional chefs.

The character should be someone with both skill and knowledge in the culinary arts, not simply a reality warper who thinks, "Best food ever, appear now."

To start out:

  • Hannibal Lecter from the recent television series.

  • Lord Mandor from the second Amber Chronicle. Even though he uses magic to conjure his meals, it's clear that this is a skill he's practiced and developed. So if you have to specially design and prepare your own recipe spells, it counts.

  • The nameless chef who prepares meals for Doctor Doom.uncanny-x-men-145-003.jpg
