Questions about this comic
Can the story feature their real signature dish?
Yes. Mention it in the hobbies or 'anything special' field, along with any legendary kitchen disasters, and the story is written around it. If a detail comes out not quite right, you can change the words in the editor before ordering the print.
Does it work for a professional chef, not just a home cook?
Absolutely. Put their real job, the kind of kitchen they run and what they always shout during service into the hero questions, and the comic leans into that world. Real brand names and logos are kept out of the art.
