#Ethan looking at the chicken on Al's chopping board: what have you done to that poor bird?

[m4gp13]

In terms of pure knife skills, Ethan would be an expert in the kitchen. He could cut a vegetable into whatever weird shape they make them in Michelin-starred restaurants, debone a chicken completely effortlessly like a professional chef, and leave behind a pristine carcass. By the time Al is finished with a chicken, you can't even tell what animal it used to be. He's just hacking away at it until it goes from one big thing to a bunch of little things.

HOWEVER, if you want to actually cook the food, you get Al and not Ethan. Al likes all the really pretentious cooking techniques and (I hc him as having grown up rich) was very used to eating expensive and expertly made food so he learned how to cook really fancy dishes. Ethan doesn't know that if you're cooking chicken the dark meat and the white meat should be cooked at different temperatures. If you can digest it and gain nutrients from it, it's a win in his book.
