Food is Serious Business
You're not you when you're hungry, and when the difference between life and death can be measured in if you're at the top of your game or not, that difference could come down to food.
As anyone knows, food is essential, and may or may not be good. Mediocre food is easy to come by, crappy food is in constant supply... but good food, and great food... are another story around the agency.
The cafeterias around the agency serve up mediocre food on the daily, breakfast lunch, and dinner. It's not 'bad', but it's not particularly 'good' either. It has flavor, often what you think it should have, and gets the job done. It's nothing to write home about, but it'll stop your stomach from rumbling, even if your tongue feels somewhat short-changed.
But there are some who make 'good' or even 'great' food. The type of dish that you walk by and grab some of if you can. The sort of dish that you eat not because you're hungry, but because it tastes that good. The type of meal that you taste, and ask for seconds, or thirds, and forgo dessert entirely.
Butterscotch has no shortage of cooks, who outside of a cafeteria, are good at what they do, but there are some who have a talent that makes one question their career path entirely. These people make food so delicious that their signature dishes can be their own form of currency and exchanged for work and favors. They can function as very effective rewards and even more effective bribes.
Michelle, Lunalee, as well as Sam and Jerico of Cocoa-Baguette, are the most well-known. They are the ones you do not mess with, because the only thing worse than fucking with the IT guy, is fucking with the chef... and 2 of them also work within the realm of IT.
