Gourmand is a specialty chef with a heavy Southern accent. He cooks and serves only endangered animals (except the episode "Honey Seekers" tells us that he once served an endangered mushroom salad), which has caused him to lose his chef's license and to get fired from his gourmet cooking job. He can pair up foods with the perfect spices by smell alone. In "Honey Seekers", he says he never cooks the same dish twice. He travels in a camper that features a fold-out restaurant, accessed by pulling a wire (although in "Stuck on Sharks" and "Hermit Crab Shell Exchange", he was depicted to be in possession of a boat featuring a built-in kitchen). When it folds out, it reveals an outdoor restaurant on a deck complete with full kitchen, at least one table, and chairs. He prefers to cook his patron's meals in front of them, and charges a heavy price for it. He also has a jet seen in the episodes "Raptor Roundup" and "To Touch A Hummingbird". In "Platypus Cafe", he hinted at cannibalism.
