| |
| Gourmet Guy is first seen in [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]] during the events of [[Paper Mario#Chapter 4: Trials in the Toy Box|Chapter 4]], blocking a railroad crossing in the Pink Station area. He does not let [[Mario]] pass him due to his hunger and cannot move unless Mario gives him a [[Cake#Paper Mario|Cake]]. If any other food item is given to him, he spits it out and says his palate is too refined for that kind of food. [[Tayce T.]] will cook a Cake for Mario when he returns her [[Frying Pan]] (additional Cakes can be made using [[Cake Mix]]es). When Gourmet Guy eats the Cake, he is so stunned by its taste that he starts flying around the area and jumps offscreen, dropping a [[Cookbook]] that Mario can give to Tayce T., allowing her to make additional recipes.

| | He says he doesn't know why people call him Gourmet Guy, saying he's just an ordanary food-loving [[Shy Guy]], hinting Gourmet Guy is not his real name. |
| Gourmet Guy later appears in [[Peach's Castle]] in an intermission after Chapter 4. When [[Princess Peach]] enters a room, she finds Gourmet Guy, who first thinks that he should report to [[Bowser]] that Peach had escaped her room. However, deciding he is hungry instead, he says he will keep the event a secret if Peach bakes him something sweet. Since Peach does not have any ingredients ready to cook, Gourmet Guy gives Peach the [[Castle Key (Peach's Castle)|Castle Key]] to the kitchen. After she obtains the Castle Key, he warns that there are guards on the first floor and she must be careful.

| When Peach and [[Twink]] come back to the room with the [[Special Strawberry Cake]], they give it to Gourmet Guy, who then eats the cake. If Peach has not followed the recipe, Gourmet Guy will spit out the cake and demand Peach to remake the cake correctly. If Peach has followed the recipe, he starts going wild, rushing around the area on the screen in the same manner as before. When Gourmet Guy is done with his sugar rush, he tells Peach and Twink that one of the [[Star Spirits]], [[Misstar]], is currently inside [[Mt. Lavalava]] on [[Lavalava Island]], but there is a [[Lava Piranha]] guarding the Star Spirit. He recommends that Twink pass on the information to Mario. Lastly, he briefly mentions that he really does not dislike Mario before leaving.

| During the end [[Victory parade|parade]], the [[Fearsome 5]] partially devour [[Huff N. Puff]] and 2 [[Ruff Puff]]s, causing them to shrink. Seeing this, Gourmet Guy chases them with a knife and a fork.
| | He later appears in [[Princess Peach's Castle]] after Mario defeats [[General Guy]] and his [[Shy Guy]]s. When [[Princess Peach]] enters the room, she sees Gourmet Guy. When he sees her, he first thinks that he would report the event to [[Bowser]] when Peach escapes the room. But then he was hungry, since Peach doesn’t have any ingredients ready to cook, Gourmet Guy lets her borrow the [[Castle Key]] so she can bake him a Cake which the kitchen is at the first floor. After Peach obtains the Castle Key from Gourmet Guy, he warned to her that there are guards who have flashlights on at the first floor as Peach attempts to be careful not to be caught. |
