Guys and girls, you're completely off the mark here. Why would Phil be COOKING? That's Leanna's job. Hang on...Kat's job.
Phil would float around associating with the customers telling them all stories they'd have no interest in hearing. He'd repeat every prestream cliche verbatim every night. He'd only ever cook one thing - the diabetes-inducing meatballs - and let the Kat take care of the rest, while he begs the customers to tip generously as they might not survive the winter.
He'd genuinely see himself as an attraction for people to come see while they eat. He'd even probably hook up a console on a big screen and play for them, asking them to tip every time they felt like helping him when he's stuck. Then when no tips come in he'd sulk, wagequit and close early - before blaming his tantrum on "depression" and begging people passing outside to come back and give him another chance.
