## Personality

Mr. Eggward is a dour yet masterful chef and the number one food critic. He was Chef Peppermint's teacher, though Eggward ultimately failed to hone his student's cooking skills. He can be considered quite harsh in his mannerisms, as he does not hesitate to rebuke poor food quality or service, and rails at anyone who shows a lack of skill in cooking. This attitude leads him to forcefully close Peppermint's Table when its owner does not meet his satisfaction. Despite this exterior, Mr. Eggward only truly cares about the culinary arts, and is not afraid to sacrifice his reputation if it means helping his students become better chefs.

In the episode A Taste-Off!, Chef Peppermint was able to determine the fake Eggward when he insults the tools he uses or passes on to his students, which Peppermint finds out of character for him.
