Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Alan Cross | Male 20 - 40 Years old |
Description Occupation: Celebrity chefAlan is the most colourful of his classmates - he’s loud and brash, cocky and opinionated and needs to be the center of attention to feel like he’s loved. Alan’s totally chill on the surface, but underneath is very insecure and anxious, which causes him to take shortcuts in life whenever he can. He knows he’s a phony but he’s too far into his career to come clean now. When he gets anxious he becomes louder and more obnoxious. Throughout high school he got away from his depressing home life by working long hours in restaurant kitchens, where he loved the camaraderie vibes and the free food. Think: Matty Matheson or Jonah Hill in Superbad | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | David Hayes | Male 20 - 40 Years old |
Description Occupation: Former pastry chef turned food truck proprietorDavid is the most reserved of the group, keeping his emotions hidden, and offering candid constructive feedback even if not always delivered with tact. Occasionally his emotions will boil over in a high strung outburst of frustration and rage. He views his classmates as a serious, professional group of colleagues rather than a group of friends. He preferred when they would work together intensely rather than hanging out casually. His focus and meticulousness earned him much respect as he worked at various restaurants to pay his bills, and he quickly found his calling in the culinary industry. Think: House from House or Benedict Cumberbatch in Doctor Strange | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Logan Locke | Male 20 - 40 Years old |
Description Occupation: Private detectiveLocke is a very put together gentleman but with a relaxed, gentle air about him. He’s not stuffy or pretentious, even though he’s typically the smartest one in the room. He’s a dashing charmer, able to put people at ease and often finds himself stepping in to diffuse tense situations. There’s nothing he loves more than solving a mystery and his excitement for it grows as the clues pile up. He often uses others as sounding boards for ruminations, even if they are suspects in his case. Think: Poirot from Agatha Christie mysteries or Benoit Blanc from Glass Onion, Can be played by non-binary identifying actor. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Maribelle Moore | Female 20 - 40 Years old |
Description Occupation: Culinary artistMaribelle is driven, to the point of being a workaholic, especially when an innovative concept takes hold in her mind. When focused on a new project, she is serious and detail-oriented and almost nothing can stop her from accomplishing her goal. Maribelle cares about what is actually good, rather than what is trendy. Her culinary journey began at a young age, influenced by the rich multicultural food culture of the city, as well as by growing up in a family where Sunday dinners were elaborate affairs, which sparked her interest in creating big immersive culinary events centered around unique cuisine. Think: Kerry Washington in Scandal or Alexandra Daddario in White Lotus (S2) | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Olivia Polk | Female 20 - 40 Years old |
Description Occupation: RestaurateurOlivia rocks a bohemian chic aesthetic: she has good taste and a good eye for quality. She is just as happy to grab some street meat for lunch as she is to dine on the most expensive rooftop patio in the city. Her upbringing has made her a savvy business woman and she uses her wealthy “it” girl status to masterfully manipulate people into doing things she wants, feigning obliviousness when really she’s fully in control. She’s well connected throughout the city and works hard to constantly forge new connections. Olivia is a constant presence at the hottest parties in town, name dropping her celebrity connections and making new ones everywhere she goes. Like a savvy influencer, Olivia is always “on.” Think: Emily Blunt in Devil Wears Prada or Blake Lively in Gossip Girl | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Susan Greene | Female 20 - 40 Years old |
Description Occupation: Vegan chef and health/wellness personalitySusan always tries to take an optimistic view of everything, even at inappropriate times. She channels an almost spiritual zen, which she attributes to her veganism and wellness lifestyle, though this can come off as “flaky” to others. She’s usually found wearing flowy earth tones and carries a little fanny pack with her everywhere she goes, inside of which she keeps culinary touches like nutritional yeast, sage, little bottles of coconut aminos or Palo Santo, cannabis gummies, and sample bottles of her Vegan Moonlight Body Mist. Think: Gwenyth Paltrow or Zoe Kravitz in Big Little Lies | ||
