Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer, is an elf druid of the Cabaretti family in New Capenna.
Description
Chef Rocco, as they are sometimes called, is a nonbinary Cabaretti elf bartender and caterer.[1]
History
Rocco is the gregarious head chef at the Vantoleone, the premier event space, gathering hall, and dance floor of the Cabaretti. Rocco manages not only the various kitchens of the Vantoleone, but the menus of the many clubs, restaurants, diners, and speakeasies the Cabaretti own as well, working behind the scenes to dictate the tastes of Park Heights's elite. Their culinary empire spans all levels of New Capenna.
Their mastery of logistics is matched by their deft hand in the kitchen; each dish they devise is a masterpiece of balance, combining different flavors and textures to create events out of even the most mundane food. With the introduction of Halo to New Capenna, Rocco's cuisine found new heights of excellence, and their sous chefs say they've never seen Rocco so inspired.[2]
In the Cabaretti Cabaret, Rocco served as a bartender, showcasing their familiarity with the regular patrons and the venue's operations. They interacted with Elspeth, who was seeking employment with the Cabaretti, and responded skeptically to her request for a job. Rocco dismissed her inquiry, implying that employment decisions were not within their purview. Their attitude shifted when they interacted with a regular, a leonin performer named Kitt Kanto, to whom they served a drink as part of her usual routine before a performance. Rocco's reaction to Elspeth's request and their deference to Kitt's status highlighted their role as a gatekeeper within the Cabaret, someone who provided service to the established clientele but was cautious or dismissive towards outsiders like Elspeth.[1]
