* ComicBook/ArchieComics:
** Veronica Lodge:
*** Being the SpoiledBrat RichBitch that she is, [[BerserkButton don't even suggest]] that her cooking is anything less than superb. In one comic, Veronica was preparing what Archie called "rainbow cookies". Since they looked like ordinary cookies, Mr. Lodge asked what he meant by that. Archie responded with "Sometimes they make you turn blue, sometimes they make you turn red, sometimes they make you turn green..." Later in the comic, the president of a food company tried her cookies, and the result prompted Archie to say, "Purple? Never seen that color before!"
*** Another comic shows Reggie eating some dinner Ronnie's cooked for him, but he finds it inedible; so he [[DiscreetDiningDisposal dumps the whole plateful into the dog's dish]], then tells Ronnie [[BlatantLies that the food was superb]]. A moment later, the dog sniffs at the food in his dish -- ''and picks up his dish with one paw and empties the whole lot back into Reggie's plate''.
** Ms. Beazly, the lunch lady. Students who eat at the cafeteria are inevitably shown later doubled over in poisoned agony, and the school staff isn't too fond of her food either. One case of stomach cramps she was blamed for, though, [[NotMeThisTime was actually the result of some stickers popular around the Riverdale High students]]; their glue was toxic enough to cause them. When Archie with Professor Flutesnoot's help proves this one time she was ''innocent'' Mr. Weatherbee is quick to reinstate her -- and Ms. Beazly gives Archie a gourmet-level meal in thanks!
* The cook from ''{{ComicBook/Asterix}} The Legionary'' is a subversion. Ordered to cook legionary rations according to legionary standards (flour, bacon, and cheese, in one pot to save time), his food is almost inedible (it's implied the Romans deliberately feed their troops bad food to keep them in an angry, combative mood), but given proper ingredients and the motivation to use them, he can work wonders.
* Some examples from ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'':
** Bruce Wayne. That's right, children, there's one skill Franchise/{{Batman}} ''[[MemeticBadass failed to master.]]'' It goes from ruining the kitchen as he tries to prepare chicken soup to, well...
-->'''[[KidSidekick Tim]]:''' It's okay, Bruce. [[TemptingFate How can you screw up a tuna fish sandwich?]]... ''(one bite later)'' ... Oh. ''[[EpicFail That's ]]''[[EpicFail how]].
** In one particularly badly-written issue, Alfred took skill levels in lethal chef. He ran out of baking soda, so he used salt instead.
** The Robins from WebComic/LilGotham aren't much better, if their attempt to cook for Alfred was any indication.
** Domestic science in general is outside Damian Wayne's comfort zone, and that includes cooking. The one time he was dared/asked to try making pancakes, they were runny on the inside and ''carbonized'' on the outside.
* Olive from ''ComicBook/{{The Beano}}'' (she's a "School Dinner-lady", who is a Lethal Chef subtype of her own). Her "Tea" was actually a highly-reactive acid-like corrosive; her oxtail soup moos and flicks its tail; the skin on her custard couldn't be broken with a pickaxe, and so on.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}'', Gran'ma Ben/Rose's teacher tries to put stinky cheese on Smiley's quiche and serves up some disgusting green stew that practically everyone despises. Bartleby, on the other hand, loves it.
* ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'': A WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck story had Donald trying to barbecue steaks but ending up burning them so badly that his nephews proclaimed them to be as hard as rocks. The final panel showed Donald calling a paving company to cancel his order for flagstone steps because he'd "made other arrangements..."
* ''ComicBook/GastonLagaffe'' is bad at cooking. Some examples:
** He not only tries to mix fish and strawberries with cream and alcohol, he actually managed to make a sauce that escaped its bowl to crawl around as if it was alive.
** After an explosive canned beans accident, Lebrac claimed Gaston invented the "horror kitchen".
** He almost killed the president with a flambéd crêpe. Apparently, he was using rocket fuel as the flambéing reagent.
* ComicBook/GreenArrow has a chili so legendarily bad (or maybe just [[MasochistsMeal insanely spicy]]) that even invulnerable superheroes refuse to eat it. [[http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Green_Arrow%27s_Chili And you can make it at home!]] Its also a Main/ChekhovsGun in ''ComicBook/Trinity2008''. ''ComicBook/TheFlashInfiniteFrontier'' reveals that he also has a just as bad coffee blend.
* Calamity Jane from ''ComicBook/LuckyLuke''. The first time she attempts to cook cookies, she has to threaten her clients with a rifle to convince them to taste them. And even then one of them is willing to die rather than eat.
* Monica from Brazilian comic ''ComicBook/MonicasGang'' is prone to cooking awful things such as gumbo flan, yogurt pizza, or a "[[http://www.monica.com.br/ingles/comics/dino/images/p09-03.gif health juice]]"[[note]]in case you're wondering, the characters become dinosaurs because of a serum that fell on the juice, not the juice itself[[/note]].
* ''ComicBook/MortadeloYFilemon'': One of the [[RunningGag Running Gags]] associated with Ofelia, with the aggravating factor that she believes herself to be a great cook. Mortadelo and Filemón would often ask for some of her homemade dishes, only to use it as rat poison or to purge their bowels.
* ''Franchise/{{Popeye}}'': Granny has somehow managed to burn water and her biscuits have been used to pave driveways. Her cooking is so bad, Popeye, Poopdeck Pappy, and Swee'pea only allow her to cook one meal a year, and on that day, they usually sneak out to Roughhouse for a hamburger.
* During the short time ComicBook/{{Spider Man}}'s Aunt May was dating Willie Lumpkin, Peter was seriously turned off by his lasagna. In one story, he took them and Mary Jane to a special art exhibit after eating it, and spent most of the time trying to find a place where he could throw up. (And in the second part of the story the next issue, he implies that he's taking Kristy to the museum simply to avoid having to eat it again.)
* The Cook from ''ComicBook/{{Sturmtruppen}}'': his spaghetti are known for strangling soldiers; he once turned the lunch in a living monster; when the Sergeant added motor oil to his soup, nobody noticed the difference until a motorist asked for his oil can back; and in one infamous occasion, he knowingly served food infected with ''cholera'' (the battalion was decimated). In a variation, it's implied he does it ''on purpose'': early on he wasn't bad (for a military cook), but then the troop, the officers, and even a ''general'' snubbed his food for ''laundry water'', and from then on he became a LethalChef... Unless he's cooking some celebratory meal, in which case he'll cook a ''soldier''.
* Two examples from the comic book version of ''ComicBook/{{WITCH}}'':
** Will's attempts at cooking include things like baking with powdered soap in place of flour.
** Orube, an alien friend who, when first arrived on Earth, mistook money for food (she complained it didn't taste well) and has apparently set on fire the kitchen the first time she tried to cook. Differently from Will, it's more about lack of familiarity with Earth cooking implements and ingredients (in a later special it's confirmed she never set the kitchen on fire again) and clumsiness when trying to cook for other people (she destroyed the water tap in her kitchen while preparing pasta due being in a hurry), even if she still has a long way to go (in that special she managed to ''[[EpicFail burn the pasta]]'').
* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
** [[Characters/XMenMutants Moira MacTaggert]] and her coffee. If there was a complaint desk in [[ComicBook/{{Excalibur}} Excalibur's]] Muir Island base, probably this would be on the top. To the extent that when Kitty volunteered to take Pete Wisdom to London to check on a friend of his, Brian told him "Buy some coffee while you're there! We've run out of Rory's good stuff." And it didn't even escape Xavier's notice. He once quipped that Jubilee was using Moira's coffee to lubricate her roller skates, and also remarked on it during a video-phone call with Moira:
-->'''Moira:''' Och, it's noon and I'm still barely up. It's the break o' dawn wi' you and ye look fresh as a daisy. Ye make me sick, Charles Xavier.
-->'''Professor X:''' No, Moira. It's your '''coffee''' that makes you sick.
** Hilariously ComicBook/EmmaFrost proved to be one in ''ComicBook/GenerationX'' where she attempted to create a Tomato and Cheese Omelette for her students and lacking any ripe tomatoes substituted with ''Heinz's Ketchup'' with poor results.
--->'''Synch''': Are eggs supposed to breathe?
--->'''Husk''': Are we being punished Ma'am?
--->'''Emma Frost''': What's wrong? I made this with own two hands.
--->'''Jubilee''': Yeah. And at least one shoe.
