Or someone like Gordon Ramsay, doing a "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" sort of
scenario - a one man crusade to turn a round restaurants in trouble.
Basically, he turns up in a restaurant, tells them the menu's substandard
S**t, the chef's C**p and that the management are a bunch of F**king idiots
who should not be allowed to make beans on toast, much less serve food to
the public!

Now imagine him on board the average PC-merchant ship... With Cutlasses,
Blades and pissed-off Stewards...

I had a few Chefs in mind when I thought this up, and he was one of them.
Another was Jamie Oliver and another was "Two Fat Ladies" (one of which has
died).

Saw a clip where this chef was preparing something, spent a lot of time on
it,
Sweated over it, placed it on the plate, cleaned the plate, showed it to
Gordan Ramsey.
Gordon looked at it, then turned it up and pushed it onto the chef's chest.
"That isn't good enough to feed my dog!"

I smell a whodunit...
