I spent my entire shift last night coming up with this shit. You have to know restaurants to really get how accurate this is lol. I'm a fucking nerd.
So this is the 141 as line cooks/restaurant au
None of my friends know enough to get the funny
Ghost - grill/butchery (cis, gay)
Bigass knife bag don't touch it or he'll stab you
All black, wears construction boots and tac pants. Wore mask during covid and then just kept it on, everybody forgot what he looks like without it.
Called ghost because he doesn't have a car and never gets rides, just kind of appears and disappears. Soap has a bet going that he lives under a bridge.
Uses collection of knives, each one hand picked. Touch and he will stab u
Favorite tongs, favorite spoons. Touch and he will stab u
Plain apron, tied in front so people can't untie it from behind
Closes pit with Price every night so Roach can get to class
Doesn't talk much at all, but has the loudest 'behind, hot' you've ever heard

Soap - sautée (cis, pansexual)
Full set of globals, everyone teases him about it. Canvas knife roll

Ancient steel toe clogs, classic black kitchen pants
