Chef Hatchet

**Chef Hatchet** is a cook, co-host, best friend and sidekick to Chris on Total Drama. He is the only other major member of the staff besides Chris to be featured on the show.

## Personality

Chef Hatchet is the aggressive and military-tough sidekick of Total Drama host Chris. He provides the meals for the contestants, disgusting slop which has been slammed by all. Chef actually does have exceptional culinary skills, meaning he prepares disgusting meals for the contestants on purpose. He will take over as primary host when Chris is absent or when he is told to do so. Given that both derive equal enjoyment from harming the teenagers, it is hardly a far cry from the normal routine. Chef is bigger, louder, and much more confrontational and intimidating than Chris, who prefers a different outlet of striking fear into the contestants. However, Chef still has standards and will sometimes express admiration or even concern for the contestants, only to be ignored by Chris.

He frequently cross-dresses, which garner ridicule from everybody present. Although Chris calls him a friend, they have had more than their share of negative interactions throughout the series. Chris's selfishness and neglect of the competitors will sometimes be replicated in his treatment of Chef. Chef is not at all hesitant to call the other out and, in some instances, he has threatened or come close to leaving the show because of it. Chris is always extremely against this idea. Chef is multi-talented, having been seen doing many things skilfully while Chris introduces challenges. He has claimed to have fought in a war, which could explain his current militaristic approach to others.
