The weather was incredible yesterday so I walked down to
Tropicana Market, sat on the patio, had a quesadilla and did some sketching. The result can be viewed below:
I'm sure this has been done before, but I combined two things I really like. Steampunk and cooking. Hence, chefpunk. This particular guy is with the protein faction. I couldn't come up with a very "steampunk" solution for his knife set, so I just threw a knife carrier over his shoulder. I'm quite proud of the boiler tank/stew pot combo. The idea is that as this guy cooks his meat and steam is created which in turn feeds the various tools this guy would wear. The heat source is in a pretty dangerous place though. There's a high probability of bum-scorching with thie particular design. You wouldn't catch ME wearing that thing. But hey, I'm not a professional like this guy.
FACTION PROTEIN: A group of purist chefs who believe that protein is the true path to culinary enlightment. To them a piece of meat, perfectly seasoned, is the very definition of cuisine. But don't be confused. Protein has the starring role. The seasoning, never overpowering, is only there to aid and enhance the natural flavor of the protein.
It is said that one never sees a member of Faction Protein without a chef's knife in hand. They can break down any animal in a matter of minutes, from beef tenderloin to yellowfin tuna. Their knife skills are unparalleled.
