The elusive “Chef”…Will we ever actually see this person on Enterprise ? If so, what will s/he look like? (I’m not sure that a pronoun has ever been used in reference to Chef.)
If it’s a man, I think he’d be a big, burly, sweaty guy with a stained apron and a big hat.
If a woman, she’d be a tough ol’ gal with a tongue as sharp as her knife.
But what do I know?
So…man, woman, ethnicity, species, clothes–it’s all fair game.

Well, whoever Chef is, he/she isn’t alien. In at least one episode, T’Pol, Floxx and Porthos were described as the only non-humans aboard. It’s possible that “Chef” is the artificially-intelligent proto-replicator program. I personally think it’s just a Chief Steward or other non-commissioned officer, as is typical in the Navy.
No matter what he/she/it is, we’ll likely never see him/her/it.

I think it is Vera.
We’ll see him/her/it in the final episode in the final scene.
I think he’s the great-grandson of the Frederic Forrest character from Apocalypse Now.
Bet it’ll turn out he’s an ancestor of Kirk/Picard/someother future ST hero.
Or a time-travelling Wolfgang Puck…
Too bad Kim Stanley died last year. She would have been perfect for the role.
Brad Garrett?
Nah. Probably some big beefy guy named Mel.
I had a similar idea, problem is Mel’s been dead longer than Poncho.
I always assume it is Chef from Southpark.
“Hello crewmen”
“Hey, chef!”
Archer:“Chef, i got a problem about a Vulcan woman”
Chef: “Well, you got to Lay her down by the fire!! I’m gonna make loce to you vulcan woman, wooo-ooo-oo!!!”
Tars, you steal my thunder again, you scumbag.
Issac Hayes, of course.
“An’ how’s my li’l cracka’ Cap’n today?”

So **Ender, ** you think Chef is Swedish?
It is Guidon, the Whoopie Goldberg character. It will be revealed in the last epidoe and only insiders will get the joke.
Bork de borsh de bork de bork. Its the Swedish Chef!
