Vickie
Featured Dinosaur
Vickie recently stepped into the role of head chef for the CWD crew. She is a patient teacher and is generally an expert at using all of the various kitchen tools, including garlic presses, knives, juicers, and more. She is also a great advocate for kitchen safety. Vickie is always camera ready and never found without her signature lovely pearls and eyelet lace apron. Rumor has it she’s working on an apron collection, as well!
Vickie has a beloved little dog named Pickles and the two are rarely seen apart.
Alex
Good at helping out. Eager to hold things steady with a toothy grip, and loves to taste-test at every step of the process. Good friends with Blondie.
Art
This enthusiastic pterosaur brings a lot to the table with the unique ability to fly! Loves swooping in with ingredients and snacking on a finished recipe.
Blondie
Fairly quiet personality, but really opens up once a recipe gets rolling. Blondie shares an enthusiasm for taste-testing with good friend Alex.
Bjorn
Dean is Bjorn’s best friend, and the two of them are rarely seen without one another. Bjorn has a bit of a flair for the dramatic, and is also a strict vegetarian.
Dean
Enjoys doing stunts, tricks, climbing, and brandishing toothpicks like swords when the opportunity arises. Absolutely loves food and is a ravenous eater!
Jamal
The absolute life of the party. Always in high spirits, and has the uncanny ability to turn otherwise tense moments into memorable ones with laughter.
Oswald
Oswald is typically very serious and works as a detective during the day. Loves making social media appearances. Check Oswald out on Instagram!
Pachy
Pachy claims to be a fighter, but is really a softie at heart. Occasionally argumentative, but does a lot more brawling with fruits and vegetables than with other dinosaurs.
Pickles
Vickie’s French bulldog. Pickles is a very well-behaved dog, but manages to get into some mischief when in the kitchen. Never goes anywhere without Vickie.
Spike
A nimble, rambunctious youngster, oftentimes too eager to please and can get in harm’s way. Friends with Pickles.
Spino
An excellent chef with great people skills. Spino is always willing to help others and demonstrate proper technique in the kitchen.
TJ
As an aquatic dinosaur, TJ is especially at home near a sink and does not mind doing the dishes. Always keeps a phone close at hand and has a bit of a weakness for it…
????
Randomly showed up for lunch once and… wait, does anybody know who this is?
The main CWD crew is from Portland, Oregon. But a few are from St. Louis. Have you met them yet?
