Mostly with Chef Hatchet from the "Total Drama" series, it wasn't until he got to deal with DJ during "Total Drama Action" that the food went from toxic to edible to good. Mainly because DJ was Chef's "sous chef" (lampshaded in the intro where DJ spices a soup to where it tastes food). It was when DJ had a breakdown seeing the spirit of his Mama that he asked the cast to vote him off (and it was great reluctance, since once they found out he made the food good for everyone, they all wanted to keep DJ). For the recap show, DJ also tells the secret to his sandwiches: Hungarian parika. "Put two pinches in the mayo! Perks a sandwich right up!" Enter Mama DJ with a fresh plate of said sandwiches.
