Summary
Restaurant Manager Caitlyn had spent the past two years working diligently to turn Hexology, one of Piltover's finest restaurants, into one of the best in the industry. That all changed one day when the brilliant head chef, Viktor, announced he was stepping down. His replacement, the brash and inexperienced Vi, threatened to dismantle everything Caitlyn had worked so hard to build.

Summary
“You’re stubborn and a hothead. You’re impossible to work with and you’re stuck in the past. Nancy said you’d be hard work but this is fucking ridiculous. I’m here to do a job. You won’t let me change or even suggest anything.”
“Not true. I did change the turmeric for saffron.”
“Yeah and you’re about this close to jumping off a bridge before admitting that it actually does taste better.”
Steve could strangle him.
Because yes. The saffron does taste better. The saffron tastes so much better and the dish now makes Steve’s tastebuds soar and his eyes water and the only thing worse than admitting Eddie is correct right now, is admitting that that dish is miles fucking better since Eddie puts his hands on it.
And Steve finds himself wondering for a split fucking moment in between the rage he’s feeling, if everything is better with Eddie’s hands on it.
or
Son of famous, michelin-star chef, Steve Harrington is trying to gain a star of his own after a stint in rehab that left him with a lack of inspiration, until his restaurant manager Nancy has an idea of her own to add a spark back into the kitchen.

Summary
“Can you work with him?”
Max has to take two drags of his cigarette before he can answer, and even then all he says is, “He knew I was the head chef, didn’t he.”
Charles has to have known. Even if the news hadn’t reached him that Max had taken over as the head chef of Taureau Rouge, he would not have travelled all the way from Paris to London for an interview at a restaurant without knowing who he’d be working under.
Still, Charles was the one who broke up with him. Max has to know, for sure.
“He knows,” Christian confirms softly. “He outright laughed at me when I called and asked him to come work at one of my restaurants. It was only after I said it was Taureau Rouge, working with you, that he agreed to come.”
Fuck. Fuck.
Max could’ve gone his whole life without knowing that. He probably fucking should have, because how is he supposed to be normal about it?
// Max and Charles have history, but it doesn't stop Charles from coming to work as Max's new sous chef. It does mean that everything changes for them both in the space of a single week.

Summary
Minho was miserable, and Chan knew that. But, he didn’t talk and didn’t give the appearance of someone who would want to talk, so Chan never brought it up. Minho showed up to work every day and did well, smiling bleakly at the other boys’ jokes and teasing, and doing exceptionally well at his job. Chan had no idea what the boy’s life was like outside of work, and he had no right to even wonder about it.
But … Minho often locked eyes with Chan across the restaurant and the world could be burning around them, but there were libraries of words in Minho’s eyes and Chan was starving for them. It felt like Minho was dying to communicate but never actually taking that step … always looking away first or managing to move away quicker so they never bumped into one another. It left Chan feeling empty, panicked … a stranger feeling he’d never felt.
What the hell was going on with him?

sous chef! sous chef! where’s my chicken? by jungleboyjackjackperry
Fandoms: KPop Demon Hunters (2025)

Summary
Mira is certain time slowed— the way it slows in those cliche romcoms that plays in the background whenever she’s working on finances— because it feels like she’s underwater, and there’s little rose petals and hearts surrounding this stranger and her heart flutters just the slightest bit.
Her cheeks are hot and she’s certain it’s not because of the kitchen.
…
Mira is in the shits. Her restaurant is failing, she’s got a two mortgages, her employees can’t cook a chicken to save their lives, she’s mildly addicted to alcohol and to top it all off, the newly employed sous chef has captured her heart within the first hour of her employment.

Summary
Chan’s voice always sounds a little higher, a little chipper in the morning, even when he keeps it levelled and quiet around Minho. He doesn’t know when he started noticing that as the day goes by, Chan’s voice tends to wear in pitch, clear when he leads the kitchen, then a low, tired hum once the night comes to a close. A slow, tantalizing descending slope. Then the next day comes, and Minho anticipates his bright, morning tone, all over again. Rinse, repeat.
Minho never meant to become chef de cuisine, but somehow, it just turned out that way—him and his friends, coming together, with him at the centre of it, Chan at his side.

Summary
When Enna Peregoy begins her new job as sous chef de cuisine at one of Baldur’s Gate’s hottest new fine dining establishments she has one goal in mind: do NOT let down Executive Chef Gale Dekarios, the world-renowned chef and restaurateur whose career and tumultuous personal life she’s admired and followed for years. Gale and Enna are both running away from their pasts, but when instead they run headlong into each other, an attraction quickly develops and threatens to derail both of their careers. As chefs Enna and Gale are no strangers to balancing hunger and satisfaction, obsession and apathy, indulgence and sacrifice, success and failure. But when those things start to bleed from their professional lives and into their personal lives, the smitten chefs must determine if they can handle the heat or need to get out of the kitchen.
A sexy, sensual, modern AU. Bon appétit.

Summary
There’s someone standing in his kitchen.
He looks young, maybe close to Max’s age, with messy dark brown hair that’s pulled back from his face by a red bandana, and he’s leaning against the kitchen counter like he’s supposed to be here.
Max’s first rather unhelpful thought is; fuck, he’s gorgeous. His second, more reasonable thought is;
“Who the fuck are you?”
“Charles Leclerc,” the man smiles. It's a little bit dazzling and Max is not at all distracted by it. He extends his hand for Max to shake. “I’m your new executive sous chef.”
Or: Max is very happy with his life, thank you very much. He has his restaurant, his team, and two Michelin stars at the age of 24. He definitely does not need some pretentious Monegasque chef coming in and throwing everything into chaos.
Except, maybe he does.
