And then it all made sense to Crossing's rest-deprived mind. The calm demeanor. The deference. The griffon was clearly a cook — and not a head chef. He didn't play the typical dominance game because he had spent his entire adult life being screamed at and so had forever placed himself on the last dangling link, with everyone and everypony his superior — and so it would remain until the day he opened his own place and experienced the glorious liberation of yelling at somepony else.

Kronk: Hey, pal, what's your policy on making special orders?
Chef: Alright, buster, that's it! You want a special order, then you make it! I QUIT! You know, I try and I try, but there's just no respect for anyone with vision! That- that's it! There's just nothing I can do about it!

"You are COOKING? How DARE you cook in MY kitchen! Where do you get the gall to even attempt something so monumentally idiotic? I should have you drawn and quartered! I'll do it! I think the law is on my side! Larousse, draw and quarter this man — after you put him in the duck press to squeeze the fat out of his head!"

Literature
Kitchens are presided over by both male and female COOKS, though the Cook in an Inn is regularly female; all have the vilest possible tempers. There will be a lot of shouting and much hurrying about with enormous platters. Helpers in a Kitchen have a miserable time and may often be hit over the head with ladles, etc., for failing to wash dishes quickly enough. Most Tourists will at some time in the Tour get a stint as a Kitchen helper, mostly when MONEY runs out but sometimes as a disguise or because a MAGIC USER has decided to punish them. When this happens, see if the Cook is fat or thin. A glance at her/his COLOUR CODING might be useful too. Some turn out to have hearts of gold under the apron and the shouting. Some are just swine, in which case you can only suffer.
Now, darling, I have to mention this. Cooking show hosts have a terrible track record of getting angry and swearing on-screen.
