Famous Fake Food Folks

§ Mel Sharples from the Alice TV show (and movie "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," actually). Signature dish: famous chili.

§ Luigi the Italian Chef from the Simpsons. Signature dishes: er, uh, pasta, I guess.

§ Nat from Beverly Hills 902010. Signature dish: Peach Pie, I guess. Diner food.

§ Swedish Chef from the Muppets. Signature dish: "Cröonchy Stars." Børk! Børk! Børk!

§ The Candy Man from Sammy Davis Jr.'s song. Signature dishes: a dew-sprinkled, chocolate and miracle-covered sunrise; dream-dipped rainbows, strained of sorrow, but retaining all the cream.

§ Vianne from Chocolat, the movie (portrayed by Juliette Binoche). Signature concoctions: various amazing chocolates that can melt the hearts of conservative, small-town Frenchfolk.

§ Willie Wonka. Signature dishes: Everlasting gobstoppers; square candies that look round, many, many more.

§ Circe, from the Odessey. Signature dish: drugged stew that allows her (or helps her) turn men into pigs/animals. Yum!

§ Emeril, from Emeril live. This life-like puppet (using Henson Workshop technology, perhaps?) makes just about anything, but is partial to using spices that allow him to create sound effects.

§ Brian Flanagan from the movie "Cocktail", as portrayed by Tom Cruise. Signature drink: um, just about anything, but always with "flair."

§ The witch from Hansel and Gretel. Signature dishes: gingerbread houses; fattened children (oven-baked).

§ Dagwood, from Blondie comic strip. Signature dish: the Dagwood, of course.

Anybody think of any others? Comment below!
