The Chef
From MIwiki
The Chef of the Scumm Bar is a semi-notable side-character, from The Secret of Monkey Island, who occupies the kitchen, only leaving it to ask what the patrons of the bar want. In the game the player has to sneak into the kitchen past the character in order to get the useful inventory items therein. He can later be found crying at the Scumm Bar when LeChuck kidnaps governor Marley and scares off all the customers. If the player talks to him he will state the obvious: where LeChuck is hiding, what the player has to do in order to get there and why he has to do it. As the player leaves the Chef will give him some heartfelt advice and start crying uncontrollably.
In the first game he appears to be the only employee under the Scumm Bar's owner, but in Escape from Monkey Island a second employee, The Horridly Scarred Bar Keep is also introduced.
