Meet The Golden Retriever Chef Who Has Cooked Over 400 Meals

Move over, Gordon Ramsay—there’s a new chef in town, and his name is Badger!

This talented Golden Retriever from Lake Tahoe is stealing the spotlight in the culinary world, and he’s doing it all with a wagging tail and a smile.

 

Meet Badger, The Chef Dog Who Cooks Perfect Recipes

Badger didn’t attend any fancy culinary school. Instead, his natural talent was discovered by his mom, Jessica, who is a professional chef herself.

 

Cooking gourmet meals for her family, Jessica often found herself needing a bit of inspiration. That’s when she noticed her furry sous chef was eager to help in the kitchen.

Little by little, Jessica tested Badger’s skills, and she quickly realized he had a golden touch when it came to cooking.

This lovable Golden Retriever became the family’s personal chef, delighting his pawrents with his culinary creations.

 

“I just thought it would be funny if Badger became our personal chef. Since I’m cooking all the time,” Jessica shares with Yahoo Life, “Badger is just there and watching me. I thought it would be funny to pick him up and see how involved he wanted to be.”

 

Surprisingly, Badger is incredibly well-behaved around food. Unlike most food-motivated dogs, Badger is more interested in hanging out with his family than devouring the food in front of him.

 

“He is so polite,” Jessica told Yahoo Life. “I don’t even understand. He’s not very food-motivated, so it has worked in our favor.”

 

Of course, Badger gets his rewards after filming—his favorites are chicken bits or raw filet mignon, the perfect treats for a fancy dog chef.

When it’s time to film, Badger takes his role seriously. He dons his chef’s hat, apron, and slides, ready for action.

 

His pawrents make sure the set is prepared before he arrives, keeping the filming sessions short and sweet, never more than 10 minutes. Jessica knows just when to take breaks to keep Badger engaged and having fun.

With dad’s help guiding his paws, Badger’s cooking videos are a true team effort.

The results? A social media sensation! Badger’s videos have racked up over a million views online, and he’s gained quite a fan base on Instagram and TikTok.

 

 

Whether he’s whipping up clam chowder, baking cinnamon rolls, or crafting his signature pawsghetti and muttballs, Badger is always experimenting in the kitchen. His first attempt at sushi was a huge hit!
