Chef Hatchet

Chef Hatchet, labeled The Chef, is the chef of the show and is considered to be the show's co-host and a sidekick to Chris McLean, appearing regularly throughout Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action, Total Drama World Tour, and Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. Chef briefly hosts the show in Basic Straining, Are We There Yeti?, and part of Mutiny on the Soundstage. He is most significant as the only other major member of the staff besides Chris to be featured on the show on multiple occasions.

Total Drama Island
Chef was first seen in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, where he was introduced as the camp's loud, tough, somewhat aggressive and highly unpleasant chef. According to himself, he serves the food three times a day and the campers have to eat it three times a day. Chef quickly got annoyed at Harold's requests for sugar, due to his condition and how Owen commented on his cooking. He became furious when Geoff suggested they get pizza, instead of eating his own cooked food, which prompted him to throw a knife at Geoff that narrowly missed him. Chef was seen in a flashback in Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, back to the time when he was testing the Cliff Dive challenge for Chris. Chef told Chris that he wasn't an intern, but Chris told him that due to the fact that all the interns were injured, Chef was required to act as one. He was seen jumping into the water and then sprinting out of it as quickly as possible to avoid sharks. Other than that role, Chef made no appearances in this episode.

In The Big Sleep, Chef is partially involved in trying to make the campers fall asleep, by playing the harp in a sheep costume and by throwing "magic dust" at them while ballet dancing. This episode marks the start of the instances where he wears embarrassing costumes, in this occasion, it is a tutu. Chef is used as a referee in Dodgebrawl and doesn't have any major involvement in the episode, other than blowing the whistle and watching the game. In Not Quite Famous, Chef is revealed to be a former veejay and DJ artist. He is also the judge of the talent show and gives Harold the win after being impressed with his beat-boxing skills. There is also a Chef-O-Meter in this episode which rates the campers' performance.

Chef isn't seen in the following episode, however, he is involved in Phobia Factor's challenge and drives the airplane that Izzy and Owen are in while wearing a flight attendant outfit. He also dressed up as a spider, attempting to scare Leshawna, as her fear was spiders. Once again, Chef isn't seen in the following episode, but is briefly seen in Paintball Deer Hunter, when he catches Beth stealing chips from his kitchen.

Chef plays a major part in Basic Straining, as he is in charge of the challenges. During the episode, he forms a conflict with Duncan. In Brunch of Disgustingness, Chef cooks the disgusting food, but unlike Basic Straining, he doesn't do anything major. Chef, once again, plays a major part in Hide and Be Sneaky, as he is in charge of catching the campers during the challenge. In this episode, he forms a conflict with Izzy, yet apparently starts to respect Leshawna, as she won the challenge. In Hook, Line, and Screamer, Chef plays the part of the "psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook." He eventually gets beaten by Duncan. Later, he, along with the others, goes to Gwen's rescue when the "real" psycho killer attempts to attack her. In Wawanakwa Gone Wild!, Chef appears briefly, getting shot in the back with a tranquilizing dart, courtesy of Izzy.

Chef, once again is in charge of the challenge in Are We There Yeti?. He deserts the remaining campers in the middle of the woods. In this episode, it is seen that Chef can actually cook good food, as he was seen baking sticky buns. He also eventually gets back at Duncan, by eliminating him from the competition. In the season finale, Chef doesn't do much, except putting the torch on fire for the "Rejected Olympics" race and handing Owen the $100,000 check.

In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, Chef doesn't appear much. However, he reveals that he was the one who put the alligators in the lake. He is later manipulated off screen by Justin, who gives him an autographed head-shot of himself in exchange for the helicopter keys, which he later uses.

Total Drama Action
In Monster Cash, Chef is first seen during Chris's tour through the abandoned film lot. He is seen chasing a raccoon out of the Craft Services Tent, trying to use it as dinner for the contestants. Later, he is seen controlling the Monster that will chase the cast around. When he picks up Justin, he lets him down easily into the Bounce-House castle, saying that he was "hot." When trying to pick up Owen, the Monster's arm short-circuits, due to Owen's weight. Later, when the girls are celebrating their "win" when Owen picks the smashed trailer, Chef evens up the odds by smashing the other one as well. He is lastly seen rebuilding them.

In Alien Resurr-eggtion, Chef Hatchet was the "Momma Alien" for the challenge. He would be dressed up like an alien and hunt down the contestants with a paintball gun. When Chris orders the interns to add more slime to Chef, he mutters "I hate my life." When hunting them down, he reaches Lindsay, Leshawna, Justin, and Beth, spraying them easily. He comments how the producers should hire an effects crew. When he goes after Harold, Izzy, Owen, and Heather, he goes down in a duel with Izzy. He believes he has killed her, but she was only pretending. He soon caught up with Duncan, Gwen, DJ, and Trent. He easily shoots DJ, and then chases off Trent, Duncan, and Gwen, the latter having eggs. Chris drops a slime bomb, knocking the four out and destroying the eggs. However, Trent finds two more, and races off with Gwen to get immunity. Chef Hatchet vows to get them "next time." Chris insults Chef's skills, saying he can't do anything right. Chef then demands for Chris to give him his money.

In Riot On Set, Chef takes DJ under his wing because he is upset at how DJ is too sensitive and weak, despite his great potential in physical strength. Chef says in the confessional that he sees a bit of himself in DJ, but hates how he is too nice all the time. Chef formed an alliance with DJ, where if DJ won, Chef would receive half of the prize money. He is seen coaching DJ briefly in Beach Blanket Bogus when DJ is accidentally rendered fully nude in front of everyone. As he runs away, Chef yells at him that the body is nothing to be ashamed of. This alliance was illegal since (as Chris stated on a recap) it involved a host bribing a contestant. It seemed to stem from Chef Hatchet's annoyance at some of the tasks that were asked of him in the season. He usually replies to Chris' requests by growling to himself and bearing his teeth. The third time Izzy dueled with or attacked Chef was in The Aftermath: II (but likely happened in Riot On Set), when a clip is shown of Chef offering a secret alliance to Izzy (implying that he did respect Izzy most of all of the contestants). She takes him by surprise by answering his offer with a flying kick to the stomach.

In The Chefshank Redemption, Chef is seen talking to Chris during the prison break challenge. Much to Chef's surprise, Chris attempts to make smalltalk. Chef's response was not seen in full, but he was clearly confused by Chris's awkward questions.

In The Sand Witch Project, Chef continues to mess with the challenges to ensure that DJ and his team win. His alliance with him is strained when DJ expresses guilt over keeping secrets from his team and cheating to get further. After being caught messing with the horror movie challenges, Chef is forced to attend a "disciplinary meeting" with the producers. At the episode's end, just as Chris prepares to eliminate one of the Killer Grips, DJ exposes the alliance to the cast and removes himself from the competition, as he believes he has done too much wrong and he thinks it will make his Momma proud. Chef tries to shut down DJ, but instead finds himself in hot water with Chris and the cast.

In Masters of Disasters, Chef resumes cooking his rancid food for the castmates which, once again, only Owen enjoys. He aids Chris in the disaster challenge, but once again rebels against him by slamming him against a ladder using the travel cart. Also, Chef throws his large manuscript to the cast as debris, smashing Owen's jaw in the process and getting him sent to the hospital. When the cast almost drowns in the submarine challenge, Chris panics but Chef is totally unconcerned, being more focused on the card game he had been playing. This action could be a sign that Chef is still attempting to get revenge on Chris for not paying him (as Chris would've lost his great rich life had the castmates died and Chef would lose nothing due to a lack of payment). He also might just be in a very bitter mood due to his failed alliance with DJ.

It appears that the Producers are keeping a closer eye on Chef in Full Metal Drama. When Owen can't go to the bathroom due to constipation brought about by his blended meals, Chef was forced to serve him blended medicinal shakes "on account of his bad behavior."

It is assumed that Chef Hatchet has a powerful amount of respect for Leshawna since she won a multitude of challenges last season. However, at the end of Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, Chef seems to not care about Leshawna. When Chris asks Chef if there was anything forgotten, the viewer goes into Chef's mind, thinking about Leshawna, who was trapped in a bank vault during the entire episode because her team chose not to rescue her. In response to Chris, Chef says that they didn't forget anything. In One Million Bucks, B.C., Chef dropping the Grips' reward into the tar lake seems to have been unintentional, as he was seemingly not sarcastic about the loss, saying "Whoops" as a result. He is also part of the Total Drama series legal department.

Chef was forced to wear a purple bikini in Million Dollar Babies. The castmates were very disturbed by what they saw but Chef says they were just jealous. Chef was touched when Chris reenacted a scene from a badminton movie and wondering why the Olympic committee would not give the Flipper a chance. In the end Chef punched Chris in the face when Chris wanted to box. In the beginning of Super Hero-ld, Chef had to wear another dress and pretend to be a screaming lady that Chris had to save. During the challenge he became "Pythonicus" with his sidekick "Kitty Dander Boy." His job was to sabotage the castmates' costumes in the superhero challenge and throw bowling balls in the obstacle course.

In The Princess Pride, Chef wears three outfits. He first wears a fairy princess to dub Courtney the princess. He then plays the part of the toothless troll, trying to prevent the castmates from crossing the bridge during the first challenge. He then wears his control suit to drive the giant mechanical monster. At the end of the episode, he and Chris keep the Beth dolls due to nobody buying them. Chef dresses the Beth dolls up in soldier outfits and plays war with them with a toy cannon (which seems to actually work). Chris then tells him the "right" way to play with dolls.

In Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen, Chef Hatchet instructed Courtney and Beth into cooking noodles consisting of the seven deadly fishes known to man after failing the challenge. Chef Hatchet was also seen as a samurai earlier in the episode revealing the robots to the cast. In 2008: A Space Owen, he talks once when he pats Owen's butt, thinking that they are pillows used to fill the hole of the spaceship. He is then seeing whimpering in the confessional. In Top Dog, Chef cooks some type of food, but when Beth and Owen say that "Those scrambled eggs looks okay" and Chef starts laughing, and he falls on his back. After that, he had no dialogue for the rest of the episode.

Chef reveals that he was leaving the show in Mutiny on the Soundstage, after serving Duncan and Beth a five-star breakfast. He says he got himself another job at a cruise ship. He and Chris form a small competition to see which job was more difficult to do. Chef takes Chris' job as host, and Chris is the stagehand. After Beth tells Chef that Chris will miss him, Chef reconsiders. Chef runs back and forth from Duncan to Beth, until he falls asleep at the prison challenge, making Beth fall behind. Chef then agrees to take Duncan and Chris takes Beth. He forces Duncan to compete in various challenges since he cannot answer any of the questions. In the end Chef decides to stay.

In The Aftermath: IV, Chef was shown to be annoyed with Chris for making them miss their vacation due to Bridgette and Geoff ruining their show. Later, he is mistaken as DJ due to him being the DJ for the dance-off for Izzy to determine her personal vote. Later, DJ is mistaken as him.

In Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, he is shown being Chris' limousine driver. Later, he is shown blocking the entrance to the theater where the awards are held, to keep the twenty-two contestants (and Sierra) out. He is later seen with Chris on the helicopter following DJ's bus. At the end of the episode, he is shown in a female airplane worker's outfit and gives Chris the idea for a music themed season and sings with Chris about the new season.

Total Drama World Tour
In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, Chef is shown to be the pilot of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet. However, he doesn't seem to be trained enough and appears to be an inept pilot, as he catches lots of turbulence throughout the episode. Chef is shown in Heather's cockpit confessional in which he constantly interrupts Heather making suggestive comments about Alejandro, such as saying that he's "deliciously seductive" and "a pretty good looking guy to boot." Chef doesn't do anything important following that, but appears briefly in the Come Fly With Us, saying that "he tries" once Heather questions his ability to fly the plane. After the musical number, Chef tells the contestants when they have arrived in Egypt through the P.A system, and calls the musical numbers a bad idea, even though he had come up with the idea for the music in the season.

In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2, Chef isn't shown very much. In the cockpit confessional, Alejandro compliments him on how good of a job he is doing at flying the plane, to which he blushes. Chef is later shown in an Egyptian costume, dropping scarab beetles all over the place, before the episode's first musical number. After Chris announces the second part of the challenge, Chef is seen to be relaxing with Chris on the other side of the Nile River, with his feet on top of an intern. Later, after Ezekiel is eliminated, he takes too long putting on his parachute (instead using the time to scold his team for voting him off), and Chef had to brutally kick him out of the Plane.

In Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan, Chef helps Chris introduce the challenge, by dressing up in a Chinese outfit. Chef used a katana to slice open the door on the plane, which caused the contestants to be sucked out of the plane. Chef is seen later, when Chris explains to the contestants that they will be making commercials to promote Chef's new candy, Chef's Total Drama Yum Yum Happy Go Time Candy Fish Tails. Chef decided that Team Amazon won the challenge, since he loves "exploding doughnuts," and decided Team Victory would vote someone off.

At the beginning of Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better, Chef is shown to be steering the plane very badly, although by purpose. He demands everyone to "lock their butts to a seat," or in other words put their seatbelts on. After arriving in the frozen tundra of the Yukon, Chef serves Chris hot chocolate. Later at the Barf Bag Ceremony, Chef is there. When Chris asks him who is steering the plane, Chef says that he's "got it covered," as a camera goes to the plane's cockpit to reveal an inflatable Chef dummy steering the plane.

In Broadway, Baby!, Chef hardly had any lines in this episode and hardly did anything of importance. After all the contestants reach the docks on their boats, Chef had to get the alligator to sign a waiver, at Chris' commands. Chef is later seen laughing hysterically in the confessional after Sierra reveals that Chris was once in a Boy Band called "Fametown." When Chris and Chef were in Central Park, Chris was telling Chef about a his sister, and Chef asked him to give her his number. In the scene cut from the American airing, Chef is seen with Cody in the cockpit confessional. When Cody comments on how he thought he was going to die after being sucked into the Statue of Liberty's cleavage, Chef claims that it would have been a good way to go and Cody agrees, chuckling.

In Slap Slap Revolution, Chef is seen teaching the contestants dance moves for the "Dance Your Lederhosen Off" challenge.

At the beginning of The Am-AH-Zon Race, Chef, in a nurse's outfit, is seen giving Alejandro an eyepatch after he was accidentally punched by Owen. When Team Amazon is captured by the Zing-Zings, Chef is revealed to have taken the batteries out of their walkie-talkies, and is seen in Chris' private headquarters, in the hot tub playing video games. Later, near the end of the episode, Chef finds Team Amazon but is stopped by Heather who orders him to kneel down before the Zing-Zings, as she believes they think of her as a god. Chef disregards her and slices the ropes with an axe which tied Team Amazon, and reveals that the Zing-Zings were two Peruvian actors, acting out Shakespeare's Macbeth. Chef then reminds them that they lost the challenge and have to vote someone off.

At the beginning of Can't Help Falling in Louvre, Chef is seen with Izzy in the cockpit confessional, and is irritated when Izzy keeps pressing buttons. After Izzy causes the plane to crash land in Paris, Chris complains to Chef that they were supposed to land at the Eiffel Tower, while Chef complains that Chris didn't put a door in for the cockpit. When Chris announces the challenge, he explains that Chef took the Venus de Milo, the Thinker, and the Statue of David and broke them up into pieces to scatter around the Louvre, Chef becomes worried once Chris mentions that the real statues are priceless, and that Chef made fake copies, implying that he may have destroyed the real things. During Paris in the Springtime, Chef is seen tap-dancing next to Team Amazon.

In Newf Kids on the Rock, Chef is seen driving the plane straight to the ocean where the casts next stop is. He pushes everyone out at the nearest exit, he sees Heather still on the plane holding the cushion, he grabs her and throws her out of the plane.

In Jamaica Me Sweat, he ends up having to land the plane in Jamaica when they run out of fuel. Chris blames Chef for this, despite admitting that it was truly his fault for poorly managing the show's budget. In the challenge, he uses some of Chef's "bling" as the treasure that the contestants must retrieve from under the water.

In I See London..., Chef finds Ezekiel hiding in the cargo hold and brings him to Chris. Chris decides to strike a deal with Ezekiel, thus evicting Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot from the first-class area so that there will be no witnesses, besides Chef. Much later, after the challenge ends, Chef is the one who explains to the contestants that he found Ezekiel down in the cargo hold, "home-schooling with the rats." Chris then says that, since Ezekiel could not avoid being captured, he must be thrown out of the plane immediately. Thus, Chef forcefully grabs Ezekiel and throws him out. Despite this, Ezekiel manages to hang onto the plane's wheels, thus avoiding the Drop of Shame for the third time.



In Greece's Pieces, Chef is assigned by Chris to be a sort of attendant to Duncan throughout the episode, and must whip him with a towel every time he speaks without singing. Chef is glad to do this, and does it often throughout the episode.

In the beginning of The EX-Files, Chef is seen playing chess with Chris in Chris' quarters while his inflatable dummy flies the plane again, with Ezekiel in the co-pilot's seat.

In Picnic at Hanging Dork, Chef attempts to land the plane, but is unable to deploy the landing gear due to Ezekiel sleeping underneath the wheels. Thus, he must fly low over the ground while the contestants jump out at high speed. He then presumably lands the plane off-screen. He later is seen with Chris, asking how long the journey will take and correcting Chris's judgement to two days.

In Sweden Sour, Chef puts the cannons inside the teams boats. He also gives each team 3 of his meatballs to launch at each other.

In Niagara Brawls, Chef is seen putting Duncan, Owen, Cody, Alejandro, and a Bear into the slot machine, and is seen during the second part of the challenge asking pairs questions about Canada. While asking Sierra and Cody, Sierra attempts to get Chef to get Cody to say "I Do" in an attempt to get Cody to marry her. After stating that Sierra is crazy, he orders the pair to go back. He is then seen asking the same questions to Courtney and Duncan, and announces they've won the challenge.

In Chinese Fake-Out, Blaineley is seen in the cockpit trying to make an alliance with Chef, saying that she has network connections and thought he'd be great with a show of his own. When Chef says he never helps the contestants, Blaineley points out that he got busted for making an illegal alliance with DJ in the previous season. During the race on the Great Wall of China, Chef pulls a rickshaw carrying Blaineley, allowing her to shop along the way, and securing a spot for her in the final round. Chef is seen tired out after this, and states that if Blaineley is a size zero like she claims, then he is the Emperor of China. In the second round, he serves up a variety of authentic Chinese meals to the contestants, excluding Blaineley, who is given gourmet food. Chef is later discovered when Heather points out how Blaineley isn't complaining at all about her food, and is actually complimenting it, and Chef mentions he's ashamed for helping her cheat. After Blaineley, upon being eliminated, mentions that she was initially offered the job of hosting Total Drama, but declined it, he's seen reassuring Chris that he was the first choice for host, and compliments how he signs the episode off.

Chef plays only a minor role in African Lying Safari, being punished for his actions in China. Throughout the episode, Chef is seen wearing the penalty parka, despite being in balmy Tanzania. In addition to sweating profusely, he is also pummeled by plums in the first challenge, mostly thanks to Sierra. He then releases Ezekiel into the wild, and much later, Chris reconciles with him for the illegal alliance and allows him to come back to the plane with him. Chef drives back to the plane, but accidentally causes Chris to fall off the jeep.

In Rapa Phooey!, Chef and Chris get into a slap fight over the controls of the plane when Chris insists on flying it just once, which ultimately results in one of the Easter Island heads being knocked over. Later, Chef and two interns are seen attempting to lift the statue back up, but Chef drops it to answer Chris' call on the walkie-talkie, thus leaving the statue to fall over again and crush the two interns. Chef then helps Chris push massive boulders down the tunnel to slow down the contestants. Towards the end of the episode, he is seen once again attempting to put the statue back in place, only for Heather (who was violently thrown aside by an angry condor) to fly into the statue and knock it over again. As Chris signs off the episode, Chef slaps his hand away twice to prevent him from touching the controls again.

In Awwwwww, Drumheller, Chef helps Chris launch boulders at the contestants using a catapult, doing all of the hard work by lifting the boulders onto the catapult apparatus while Chris activates it. At one point, he accidentally launches Chef with a boulder at the same time. Chef then does the same to Chris (off-screen), as a boulder is seen landing with Chris stuck to it. Chef and Chris (strangely, both unaffected by their earlier injuries) have a barbecue while the contestants do their challenge. Towards the end of the episode, Chef is nowhere to be seen and is apparently on the plane during the elimination ceremony. He was never seen escaping the plane moments before Sierra accidentally blew it up (as many of the animals and Ezekiel were seen doing). Thus, he was on the plane when Sierra accidentally blew it up. He wasn't seen again for the rest of the episode, thus leaving his current status, as of then, unknown.

In Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles, Chef is seen with Chris in the recap, in the destroyed cockpit of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet. Later, he is seen inside a red and yellow helicopter, alongside Chris.

In Hawaiian Punch, Chef is seen wearing a Hawaiian outfit at the beginning of the episode. Later, he runs off of the island after the resident volcano explodes, and the island begins to be covered in burning lava. He is then seen on a green boat, similar to the Boat of Losers, with Chris next to him. However, the boat sinks once a burning Ezekiel crash-lands into it. In the alternate ending, there is a scene after the closing credits in which Chef Hatchet is seen placing Alejandro into the Drama Machine after his "little lava accident."

Audition tape
In his audition tape, Chef is mopping the floor of the main lodge. As he is doing this, he's complaining about how his life has turned out. It's unknown whether or not this video was filmed by his own will seeing as how he spent the whole video complaining about his life instead of saying his positive qualities.

He is the only non-contestant that has an audition tape, excluding Mr. Coconut.

Camp TV
Chef did not appear, nor was mentioned at all during the promo of Total Drama Island's prototype series, Camp TV. However, he was shown to have a design vastly different from what he looks like in the Total Drama series. His wardrobe is similar, though his hat is different, appearing to be some kind of fedora rather than the chef's hat he is wearing in the current series. His angry face is much more exaggerated, yet at the same time he is much smaller in build. He also seemed to have a much larger mustache and also had a beard. Although he did not appear in the promo, some of his dishes did, such as the grub.
