Characters: Your College Cook MIKE The main host of the show, head chef, director of the show and our main protagonist. Mike is super serious about the production because he wants to use this for his reel for the food network. Very optimistic, driven by his big ideas. He values every opportunity that comes his way. Possibly putting YCC on back burn causing tension within his friends. Secretly has a thing for Natalia. Best friends with Andy, the Net chef, since highschool.

His dad works for a high end restaurant in downtown Chicago. Mike has a part time job working as a bus boy. The Net Chef Andy In the show, the Net Chef solves all with the internet. He is our go to man on conversions, substitutions, general info, trivial fun fact, fan base poll results. Also throws audience to the website at the end of the show. He always has interesting facts about food science and other stuff. Andy is a tech genius. Smart and dry humor. Spends most of his time on the internet. Best friend of Mike since High School. He is pessimistic, seeing the worst possible side of things in the best way. This is a good thing, because he gives Mike a reality check on some of his crazier ideas. Southern Sweetness- Natalia The sweetest girl around, Natalia handles all the delicious things in the world. For the show she is in charge of desserts. Natalia is a sophomore and goes to school for theater. She loves animals in general, but could never own one because she wouldnt be able to handle the guilt of it dying. She was born in southern Kentucky, raised in a roman catholic family. Her parents sheltered her from the more gruesome things in life, such as drinking, drugs, porn, etc. Her parents are still a big part of her life. They support her schooling by paying for tuition, food, and even give her an allowance. She cant understand why other kids are so distant to their parents. She is on top of her homework and has never missed a day of class. She is always positive and uplifting. Love triangle between her, Mike, and Chad. Oblivious to love triangle that is going on around her and most everything else. Believes that all people are nice to everyone, but she doesnt understand that many people are so nice to her because of her bright personality and rocking bod.

His parents got divorced when he was 10, and he has been milking the benefits ever since. (double birthday presents, borrowing money, pitting


the two against eachother) He is a manipulative jerk who, not by his choice, lives with Mark. Those underneath his bad facade, deep down he has redeaming qualities. Stoner roommate- Brett Always on the couch with Gamer and constantly high. His bong hit disrupts filming and Mike gets super pissed. Brett is not exactly sure what is going on in his life. He always is doing a ton of random things and doesnt finish most of the. I see him similar to Kramer from Seinfield or Charlie from It's Always Sunny. Gamer roommate- Ryan Everyone always makes fun of him and never take him seriously, he is always the butt end of jokes. They are constantly telling him is wasting his life away. He goes to a game tournament and dominates. This surprises everyone. He is ridiculously good at every single game that he touches. He is not very good with girls.
