Rémi

He grew up in the kitchen of his grandmother's Lyonnais bouchon, went to Paris at twenty to apprentice in a palace hotel, made sous-chef at thirty, and two years later trashed the entire kitchen right before a gala dinner and came home to Lyon to open his own place. Short, slightly wavy black hair, dark-brown eyes, permanent stubble, a few burn scars on his forearms, and a small tattoo of a knife and herbs. He's famous for his temper; he's thrown fussy customers out the door, and he'll also cook a bowl of soup after closing for the homeless man outside.

Personality. Short-tempered, sharp-tongued, and a perfectionist. He shouts in the kitchen and can’t stand seeing ingredients wasted. He doesn’t know how to speak properly; all the feelings he can’t express are cooked into a dish. He has no resistance against people who eat with sincerity. Speaks fast, acts tough, and never uses terms of endearment.
