Who is the Swedish Chef?
That is a mystery that has plagued mankind for decades now. Very little is known as about the man (or Muppet). It is known that he his the nephew of Danny Kaye (no explanation given). His native language is Mock Japanese, but he his most fluent in Mock Swedish. He very clearly identifies as Swedish, often showing up to national events in the country. This annoys the Swedes to no end, and they most definitively do not want him. They constantly insist that he sounds more Norwegian then he does Swedish and that he's friends with some Americans so could he just stop being Swedish please.
He wandered the world, bringing insane cooking into the homes of many with his show "Borking the dinnen with the borken humphelnuffer bork bork bork". He gained international fame as a result and made several high profile appearances, including testifying during the failed appointment of Robert Bork to the US Supreme Court, where he hit the nominee on the head with a spatula. He wandered some more before returning to Japan, a nation who knew nothing about despite knowing a mock version of their language. He gave a speech to the reeling Democratic Party, who had just lost their leader. They elected him on the spot. He then engaged in a whirlwind tour of Japan with bold promises of new infrastructure and better relations with everyone. He was so persuasive the Liberal Democrats broke up into infighting over whether to replace Abe with him, forcing a new election. The Chef rolled to power in a landslide, but before being invested with the office he resigned everything and left the country, though most agree he left the nation better then how he had found it.
The next day he showed up in Sweden and the Swedes got angry so they sent him to Washington DC. He developed a strong repertoire with the Cantwell administration and improved relations from their already solid foundation. They were quiet years, except for the time he blew up the White House kitchen.
In 2011 Ban Ki-Moon retreated into a catatonic state after dealing with one too many Fraggle incidents and a new UN Secretary General was needed. Everyone liked the Chef, and the Swedes wanted to remove any affiliation with him, so he got the job. His tenure is generally regarded as one of the best. He has been a tireless advocate for peace and a strong negotiator. He has a list of successes only surpassed in length by the injuries he has received during negotiations. But no matter how many times he is beaten by Gorillas in Africa or attacked by sentient Falafal in the Middle East he is always there for the cause of humanity.
