how do chef and nicolas bond, I'm a sucker for improbable dads

Nicolas is like the 1 person who enjoys Chef's terrible food. and this is enough to pique Chef's interest

Then Nicky comes up and is like "i wanna learn how to make food just like you do!" and Chef goes "no the fuck you do not, this stuff is awful. here I'll show you how to make real food"

Bada bing father/son bonding activity right there

Also Chef both admires and is eternally baffled how Nicolas can toddle directly into danger and walk out the other side, slightly singed, going "that was fun! :D"

It's cute. Weirdly, considering it's, you know, Chef. I'm a sucker for the "big tough guy has a kid he's really soft with" trope

Chris clearly doesn't want Nicolas. I'm adopting him

too late Chef got emotionally attached to him and he’s legally Nicolas’ other parent so good luck getting Chef to give him up

is Nicolas' lastname McLean or Hatchet

both! Nicolas Hatchet-McLean. (Chris only let him keep McLean as his name for branding purposes)
