Real Men Cook	comment	Everybody has to eat, which means, oftentimes, somebody has to cook. While it is often the job of the lady of the house to prepare delicious meals (or to at least try to), you can also count on seeing the men taking care of this. Expect him to be flipping burgers or steaks on a grill, preparing food on the trail for the rest of the team, or preparing a meal to impress a female companion. If he bakes, then either he'll be baking meaty, savory, or spiced baked goods over sweet ones, while also proudly wearing pink and possibly having a sweet demeanor underneath. By contrast, a man who can't or doesn't cook, for whatever reason, might face some degree of mockery or Lampshading over it. If a male character is shown to live on a diet of ramen, microwaved meals, and delivery food, it can be a sign of immaturity (when it isn't simply financial problems). Obviously, depends greatly on the cultural background of the characters (and the creator of the work itself). Also, the style of cooking may affect the relative manliness of the act, with grilling being a favorite as Fire Is Masculine. For obvious reasons, this is pretty much a given in settings where there are few or no women around. Otherwise the men will starve. See also Chef of Iron, where the cook is the biggest badass around. A Super-Trope to Camp Cook. Compare to Manly Men Can Hunt. Contrast with Feminine Women Can Cook and Stay in the Kitchen. Also contrast Dads Can't Cook, though whether dads are real men depends on the story.

Both are excellent cooks that enjoy doing it for others but are incapable of actually eating the human food they prepare. Another thing they have in common?

The fact he can and does cook, while Lorelai cannot and doesn't, is a major aspect of their relationship—Lorelai and Rory eat most of their meals at Luke's. And is also seen in some of Lorelai's other relationships, as well; her Romantic False Lead Max impresses both Gilmore girls not only by cooking for them, but by showing them how their oven works.

It's a necessary life skill when your superpower can kill you either relatively slowly (by making you need to eat so much of certain things that your liver, kidneys et al start to fail you before you properly hit middle age) or very, very quickly indeed (if you use them too much at any given time without having fuel to hand). His colleague Danny Brady and - more surprisingly - boss Steven Reyes are both also pretty handy in the kitchen.

Honor's father is also a Supreme Chef, with an ongoing rivalry with Honor's personal house chef, a Grayson woman who, due to her cultural upbringing where women take care of the household responsibilities, believes no man should be allowed to cook because they're utterly incompetent at it. He ends up being the only man she allows in her kitchen. He's also a military man, albeit a surgeon (though he used to be a Marine before) rather than a line officer. Then there's also Honor's steward, James McGuinness. His Eggs Benedict are reportedly to die for, and he's apparently a genius pastry chef, but he at least has the excuse of being a pro.

This list includes Asch the Bloody, Yuri Lowell, and Regal Bryant, the last of whom can earn the title "God of the Kitchen". It's additionally worth noting that Regal spends nearly the entirety of the game with his hands cuffed.

This is a skill apparently inherited by his son, Bobby. So much so that Hank, a noted traditionalist when it comes to gender roles, actually ends up encouraging his son to develop his talents. Man almost squeed when Bobby became interested in actually grilling. In one episode, Bobby becomes a Supreme Chef (and tailor) not only in regards to grilling and seasoning meat, like Hank, but in baking and other culinary arts as well. Peggy, out of jealousy, even tries to get Hank angry at Bobby by revealing Bobby keeps a cookbook and a sewing machine under his bed...but Hank is instead ecstatic and simply asks Bobby if he'd be willing to make one particularly tasty-looking recipe in it for dinner the next day. At the end of the same episode, Hank easily makes every single dish his wife Peggy usually makes for dinner, simply to prove he doesn't need her to cook for him.

This may be justified in that he's a servant, but it's worth noting that he only started cooking because he was concerned about Break being too thin and pale (and Sharon encouraged him by making up a sob story as to why Break doesn't eat much).

His friends call it "bringing out the big guns". Unfortunately, Andie is working on the eponymous article and is actively doing everything she can to get Ben to dump her. So as soon as he brings out the lamb, she breaks down into fake tears, "revealing" that she's vegetarian (which the viewers know to be false since she was eating a burger earlier).

Real Men Cook / int_69fa7496	comment	The Disney Ducks Comic Universe has a number of skilled male cooks whose manliness can't be questioned: Scrooge had to learn how to cook in his adventure-filled youth. He doesn't cook much nowadays, but that's because his butler is much better. Speaking of said butler, Quackmore can cook extremely tasty food on a shoestring budget (according to a story, that's how he got the job: when he arrived for the interview it was lunchtime and Scrooge told him to grab the few ingredients he had in house and cook something, and after tasting his food he gave him the job on the spot). He also knows how to maintain and man artillery. Donald Duck is good enough he could work professionally if he cared, as expected from someone who loves good food and puts a lot of effort in whatever he likes. Gus Goose is also a skilled chef for the same reasons as Donald, though he rarely cooks because he's Grandma Duck's farmhand. He once beat up a bear who tried to steal his food (in fact, only Grandma Duck can get away with taking his food, and that's because he knows she'd never do it if it wasn't for his health).

Toya also cooks much like his father above and, like the rest of the Kinomoto family, he's apparently good at it. In the manga it's stated that, when Li Syaoran came to Japan, he lived alone and cooked (along with doing all other household chores) by himself. Even in the anime where he wasn't alone, Syaoran still cooked quite a bit. Seems to be a rotating chore in the household as during one memorable episode it was apparently Syaoran's turn to cook...shame it was really Kero that time.

Real Men Cook / int_8cd6b86f	comment	Battle of the Bulge Averted. When the town of Ambleve is initially under attack by Hessler's brigade of King Tiger tank (with the attached regiment of panzergrenadiers), American Major Wolenski (Charles Bronson) is busy rounding up available men, not already infantry, to fight. He enters a kitchen where several Army cooks, aprons still on DURING THE SHELLING, are preparing some baked goods (probably biscuits, from the appearance), but the explosions, which are shaking the building, cause them to get up to go to, presumably, the basement to ride out the barrage. Wolenski stops them, asking, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, where are you men GOING"? The mess sergeant replies, "To the shelter!" Wolenski: No, you're not! Take off those aprons and grab your rifles! Mess Sergeant: "But we're cooks!" Wolenski: "Lunch is OVER! Grab your rifles and follow me!" For added effect, once outside, he puts a rifle in the hands of a soldier that's tending to a wounded man, "saying, leave him to the medics!" The soldier protests that he's in the Air Corps (NOTE: By Dec 1944, the proper term would have been Army AIR FORC Es, or simply, "Air Force", "Air Corps" being the term until 1942, so the soldier would more likely have said, "I'm Air Force"), to which Wolenski says, "You're in the INFANTRY now! Follow me!" This scene reflects how many US soldiers, having been tasked mostly with non-combat roles, were suddenly thrust into the fighting during the real battle.

Real Men Cook / int_8ec33a87	comment	In contrast to the base game Xenoblade Chronicles 2, where cooking was Pyra's specialty (and Crossette's, if you got her DLC), both of the good chefs in Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna ~ The Golden Country, Jin and Aegaeon, are male. There's even a cooking contest sidequest where Jin can show off his skills, either playing it safe with Pan-Fried Tartari or getting experimental with Wingberry Cake, both of which turn out great (although Jin will only win if you pick the second option). Also, before you say Mythra can cook, too... notice how we said "good" chefs. In Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed, Rex seems to have learned a thing or three about cooking from Pyra after the events of 2, as he's now the Team Chef of the Liberators, is the source of most of the game's recipes, and has multiple sidequests involving him cooking meals for people.

The Protagonist of Persona 4 is the only guy in the Investigation Team who cooks and usually does the cooking during hangouts that require it due to the Lethal Chef status of most of the girls on the team. Likewise, the Protagonist of Persona 5 knows how to make curry and coffee, as does his guardian who teaches him. It's played up even more in Persona 5 Strikers, where he is shown to be just as skilled as his predecessor.

Aside from genuinely enjoying preparing meals for his team, it's implied to also be slightly therapeutic for him—in one instance, he mentions, "It clears my head."

Real Men Cook / int_df7e11cd	comment	Commander Badass of Manly Guys Doing Manly Things is quite manly, and has over the course of the series had several references made to his culinary prowess. He is deeply insulted when compared to "that propane peddler" Hank Hill, quoting the time he spent perfecting his charcoal and woodchip barbecue. He and his daughter June bake apple cinnamon oatmeal lucky charm banana blueberry strawberry chocolate chip muffins (yes, that's one muffin). He holds a family lobster bake in his backyard, which is only slightly spoiled by June trying to save the lobsters at Jared's insistence. He has stashes of home-baked fruitcake in emergency stashes all over the nondescript spacefuture. Angel yanks him for her survival derby team solely on the strength of his fruit preserve game.

Real Men Cook / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: Security chief Michael Garibaldi is a skilled cook, something he learned from his father along with being a cop (though he learned policing from his mother, too). This isn't incredibly surprising given his Italian-American heritage; Italian-American culture is notoriously Obsessed with Food, and men learning to cook is very common in Italian-American families (since there's no guarantee you'll always be able to find the real deal yourself). There's even one episode where he bribes Dr. Franklin into letting him off a diet by offering to cook a delicious but fatty meal that the doctor is of course invited to join... Another episode involves Garibaldi getting into a conflict with a post office clerk who is holding a package sent from Earth because Garibaldi needs to pay a huge fee (something that he never had to pay before). It turns out that the package contains ingredients for a birthday meal he makes for himself in honor of his late father every year. He manages to use bureaucracy against the clerk to get him to release the package.
