Whenever there’s an important occasion in my life, my mom and I go to celebrate by having dinner at Le Snout and dessert at La Soufflé. These wonderful eateries are run by two fabulous chefs, Chef Gazpacho and Chef Sophia. I was lucky enough to sit down with them and ask them about their restaurants!
CC: Thanks so much for agreeing to speak with me! It means a lot.
CG: No problem!
CS: Glad to help.
CC: First, I wanted to ask both of you: when did you know you wanted to be chefs?
CG: For me, it was when I was a little piglet. I would help my mom out in the kitchen. I LOVED it! My mom always encouraged me to cook – especially when I got good at it! She thought it was great that she’d come home from work and I’d have dinner on the table. Some recipes were a bit more…interesting…than others, but she always thanked me for my effort!
CS: My story is a bit different. When I was little, I thought I might be a biologist when I grew up. As the years passed, though, I found myself cooking more and more – and enjoying it more than anything else. Biology is an interest of mine, but cooking is my passion. When the time came to get a higher education, I knew I had to be a chef.
CC: You two knew each other back in cooking school, right?
CS: Oh, yes. I knew Chef Gazpacho. I actually followed his career after we graduated. He always seemed to be lucky in business.
CG: Working as Fluffington’s personal chef was my first real job, so that was pretty amazing. I did get a little bit lucky. Fluffington gave me a loan to start Le Snout.
CC: It wasn’t so easy for you, though, was it Chef Sophia?
CS: Definitely not. I worked for other Webkinz, in lots of different restaurants. I learned a lot along the way, and I saved up as much as I could. My dream was to open a restaurant of my own. When I found a place here in Kinzville, I knew it was perfect.
CC: Except that Chef Gazpacho was right next door.
CS: Well, yes.
CG: But we worked it out!
CS: It took some time and thinking, but we realized that both of us have specialties – Chef Gazpacho is wonderful at main courses. And I, of course, am the queen of desserts.
CG: No argument there.
CC: What’s the hardest part about running a restaurant?
CG: Being innovative. Everyone always wants something new, while also wanting you to keep the old standbys on the menu. It’s not easy.
CS: I’d tend to agree with that. But it’s also one of the most enjoyable parts – it’s challenging to come up with something delicious and new.
CC: Would the two of you ever go into business together?
CG: I think we value our friendship too much.
CS: We work best when we have our own places. But I AM very glad we’re right next door.
CC: One last question: Chef Gazpacho, what’s the best dessert Chef Sophia makes, and Chef Sophia, what’s the best dish Chef Gazpacho makes?
CG: Her chocolate fudge cake is the best thing I’ve ever eaten.
CS: His ophidian callaloo is the most exquisite soup you’ll ever taste.
CC: Thanks to both of you!

These restauraunts are awesome! ;)
Cool! What’s the theme for this month? Like in may it was may makeover?
~harrypotterrocks~
Tour of webkinz world…and how to draws. Best answer I can come up with for this months theme. And WebkinzQueen, I’m also like that in the way that a lot of the time online or at school, I act serious, but when I went on a trip with the school orchestra, I practically made the whole bus laugh telling about the time the car door flew open for no reason when my aunt was driving the car!
These are very cool resturants! :D
I luv to cook. Does anyone else like to cook? I am usually the one who bakes at Christmas time. ;)
*Luv from LillyLuvie*
LillyLuvie, I LOVE to cook. Well you probably know that from my other comments. I usually cook for my family too. Well desserts anyway. I love making cake, muffins, brownies and more! :mrgreen:
♥♥♥~krystalkat~♥♥♥
I love to help in the kitchen at Christmastime. Usually, we break out singing some Christmas tunes, especially “Wonderful Christmas Time”. :oops:
i always love to frost cupcakes and cookies!! ESPECIALLY at christmas time!!!! my mom always listens to music when she bakes!! i love the song Jingle Bells!!! :lol: hey northwestern, do you want to be my friends on webkinz??? my user name is lollys7 no caps.
Okay… look for a request from Delilah9
awesome!! thanks!
I can tell that Cowabelle put a lot of work into this project!
I know how Chef Gazpacho feels about constantly being “innovative”. Last summer, I joined the Kid’s Cooking Camp at my town’s local Sweet-Shop, where we got to cook and serve meals 4 the customers. The menu was completely different every single day!
Peace, Love, and One TERRIBLE rollerblader! :)
Hmm, I thought Chef G. and Chef Sofia were rivals. Oh yah, in a W-Tales it showed how they opened their resturants. Wait. If CG stands for Chef Gaspa. . . , then why doesn’t he talk like he usually does. He says mama, not mom! -Moonstar◙◙◙
I luv 2 cook! I make the best homemade peppermints ever! Well, at least my friends say so.
~catluv~
Um, according to the Character Kinzapedia, they are more than rivals. Look up Chef Gazpacho in the Kinzapedia and see what it says about Sofia……..
Ok, I read it…… Yeah……..
SwedishLatte, I really think you’re awesome. Wanna be friends on Webkinz World?
Also, awesome resturants!
Faith, Hope, Animals,

Yeah, i agree, the top does look like La Souffle, with all the desserts, and so the bottom must b Le Snout. I love Chef Sofia!!!!
Crazy gal :mrgreen:
