Riker might fancy himself a gourmet chef, by his own account. But was he really any good as a cook.
I remember only one time when Riker was shown cooking. He scrambled some eggs and cooked it on a portable grill. It doesn't take much skill to make scramble eggs; and besides, Riker didn't look all that impressive doing it. Perhaps in the age of food replicators, making scramble eggs would be considered gourmet cooking.
I don't know if it was Riker's lousy cooking or if it were lousy eggs, or both. But iirc only Worf, with his weird Klingon taste buds, enjoyed Riker's cooking.

I wondered how Will would have reacted to news of Tom being taken prisoner by the Cardassians. Would Will have been indifferent, or what? I wish there would have been an episode where Will got word of Tom's situation.
I assume Will would have been informed of Tom's situation since Will was his Starfleet next of kin. Btw, in Starfleet's personnel files, would Will and Tom be listed as siblings? Or maybe, the Starfleet of the 24th century would have a category called "brothers from some weird other"? for cases that involve family members who come into being by some transporter, or other, anomalies.
