The '''Swedish Chef''' is a [[The Muppets|Muppet]] character from the [[sketch comedy]] television series ''[[The Muppet Show]],'' known for his eccentric [[Culinary arts|culinary]] skills and communicating in mock [[Swedish language|Swedish]] gibberish. He was originally performed by [[Jim Henson]] and [[Frank Oz]] simultaneously, with Henson performing the head and voice and Oz performing the character with real hands. The Swedish Chef is currently performed by [[Bill Barretta]] with [[Peter Linz]] performing the character's hands. He is best known for his ridiculous cooking methods and the phrase "Bork, bork, bork!".
