Ian Hotpott

:"You're in the crocodile pit now, so - make it snappy." - Ian's catchphrase.
Ian Hotpott is a chef and co-host on the television show Chaotic Cuisine. The salt to Curt Adgepye's sugar, he critiques professional chefs and knocks their egos down a peg.
==Character==
===Appearance===
Ian is of medium height and is fairly slim. He has a square jaw and black, short hair. He wears a chef's coat with orange gloves and a green ascot, with green waterproof slacks. He has a scar over his left eye and is often seen gesturing with a cleaver or carving fork.
===Personality===
He is infamous for being a sharp-tongued and scathing critic, but this is not due to poor manners or a big ego, but rather due to a high amount of respect for the culinary arts. He has no tolerance for fools and dislikes braggarts or people who bring too much emotion into the kitchen. Proud of his talent, he will graciously bow his head to anyone who can impress him, despite a small streak of stubbornness.
===Skills & Abilities===
He is an excellent chef with a very, very refined palate, capable of picking apart a dish to the tiniest of flavours, and can criticise every single one of them. He is witty, smart and whip-fast with a quip or insult, and prides himself in his ability to run a tight ship. He is also capable of juggling up to five objects at once.
==History==
Coming from a modest background, he would always cook for his family as a young man. Following a successful cooking-for-the-community event with his school, he was granted a scholarship into a prestigious culinary academy, and spent much of his time there friendless due to his viciousness when criticising others' dishes and personalities.
Following his graduation, he opened up a small restaurant of his own, and hosted a web show that quickly devolved into him verbally roasting his fans' roast dinners. When he gained international attention for his scathing critiques of people's cooking skills, he was approached for a television role, and soon found himself working in a large studio... alongside one Curt Adgepye.
Though Adgepye and Hotpott butted heads initially, Adgepye's genuine talent and love for cooking endeared him to Hotpott, and after some time they became close friends, eventually combining both shows into Chaotic Cuisine.
Following the filming of Chaotic Continents World Tour, Hotpott went missing after his plane home was taken down by Zopran. He has not been located, but he is alive, using his kitchen skills to aid in his survival.
==Relationships==
===Curt Adgepye===
:“Softer than a sponge cake. You're hopeless, you lovely man.”
Feigning exasperation with Curt on air, Ian appreciates his devotion to the kitchen, and the two are good friends (rumoured to be more). Much of their bickering on the show is only for the audience, as the two truly mesh well. Radio stations post-Zopran attacks have picked up signals in morse code reading 'TELL-CURT-IM-OK'.
===Jan Stan===
:“I... don't know what to say. Truly, truly... fast and fabulous food.”
Ian once cried after eating a very good sgranwich from Jan's Sgran Van. He has promoted the man's business multiple times on television. Jan is nonplussed, stating that he 'knows' his food is good, and didn't need to be told so.
==Trivia==
* His name is a pun on the lamb hotpot dish.
