Charlie (Sesame Street)

Charlie is the owner and chef at Charlie's Restaurant in the Grover the Waiter sketches on Sesame Street. Despite a history of bad service and other incidents, frequent patron Mr. Johnson masochistically returns to Charlie's on a regular basis.
Charlie is generally neither seen nor heard, but communicates with Grover off-camera, through the swinging doors. In the "Charlie's Russian Restaurant" sketch , Charlie's voice is heard, provided by Frank Oz, saying "Nyet." 
In the book Vegetable Soup, Charlie's Market delivers veggies to Cookie Monster by mistake. While they may be owned by different individuals with the same name, the service is typical of the restaurateur Charlie. He is also mentioned in the Shalom Sesame video, Welcome to Israel, where he works as an airplane chef. In a 2021 video for the show's See Amazing in All Children program, Charlie serves as a special guest chef for "Family Night" at Hooper's Store. 
"Charlie's Auto Repair" was seen on the carriage house in the yard from season 39 through season 45, though whether or not it's the same Charlie is unknown.
