I hate "chef"

[Mk_Sn]

Isn't he just a fat Riker?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

I always thought of Chef as a prima donna who always lamented that he wasn't properly worshipped for his fabulous creations, and he insisted on being addressed as "Chef" because it was his due as an artiste.

I think his name was Jerome McElroy. They just didn't use it that much on the show...

 

[TheGoodStuff]

Had they managed to do the planned payoff episode - where we meet Chef and he's William Shatner, who Daniels recruits to stand in for Kirk at some important moment in history - it would have been awesome.

Damn, that idea is so good it is really disappointing it won't happen.

 

[Karzak]

How great would it have been if his name had been Jerome McElroy?

 

[xvicente]

Combining these two great ideas:

>Special appearance by William Shatner as Jerome McElroy

I thought that the finale kind of reveals that the whole series is a version of the real events of Archer's crew as a holodeck program, with chef being the role that the holodeck observer, specifically Riker, was adopting.
I'm not saying I like it, just that's how I understand the Chef meta joke played out.

"It's Salisbury steak night, Captain!"

I always thought Chef was "Wilson", except they never showed him talking when he gave his advice....until Riker came along.

Wonder how Troi felt , that the job of "ship's counselor" could be filled by a guy that spent all his time in the kitchen.

Or rather I hate that no one ever calls this guy by his name. Either one, first or last. It's always just "chef". Never "Chef Johnson" or "Chef Bob". Every single time it's "chef". Without fail.

In restaurant kitchens "chef" is almost used like "sir" - it's a status level one attains over time.

Pseudo-military organisations would probably respect that title.

Since half the time her job was done by a bartender, I'm sure she was used to it.

Hell no it wouldn't.
It was that proposal that stopped Shatner from appearing on 'Enterprise'.



As for Chef. Massive asshole.

Sweet dude, YES!

I refuse to believe such a horrible, horrible fact.
