"Our trade's as tough as old mutton, an' passion's the only thing what gets us through the gristly bits."
Head chef of the Bismarck and master of the Culinarians' Guild, Lyngsath Hyllbornsyn learned his trade aboard a merchant vessel that ventured far and wide across the five seas. As such, the Sea Wolf is well versed in foreign techniques and ingredients, and behind his every dish are his forty-two summers' worth of experience in the kitchens. Unbound by conventional thinking and recipes, he is famous for borrowing from multiple traditions to create new culinary wonders.

What are the culinary arts?
Nothing.

Selecting "What do you do here?"

Lyngsath: Lyngsath's me name, an' I'm 'ead chef 'ere at the Bismarck, the finest restaurant in all Eorzea.
Lyngsath: 'Tis my charge to make sure everyone as dines in our 'alls leaves with a smile on their face. The job's mostly supervisin' journeyman chefs at their work, but I try to fit in as much cookin' as I can.
Lyngsath: That ain't all I do, though. I also 'appen to be master o' the Culinarians' Guild, which lives under this same roof.
Lyngsath: That role has me trainin' aspirin' culinarians—which is without a doubt me most rewardin' endeavor. Don't matter if ye can't tell one end of a skillet from the other—if yer willin' to learn, I'm more than willin' to teach ye.

Selecting "What are the culinary arts?"

Lyngsath: There's some as say the culinary arts are just a lot o' fancy cookin'—but that's only the 'alf of it. 'Tis true we talk well-known dishes an' raise 'em to mouthwaterin' 'eights, but when we ain't busy doin' that, we're laborin' to bring new tastes an' textures into the world.
Lyngsath: Now, as ye can prob'ly imagine, both of the above call fer a decent 'elpin' of experience an' skill...but neither's worth a damn if ye ain't got passion.
Lyngsath: Our trade's as tough as old mutton, lass, an' passion's the only thing what gets us through the gristly bits.
Lyngsath: When ye pour yer 'eart an' soul into a dish only to 'ave a patron call it slop, will ye swallow yer pride an' start again, or will ye run 'ome cryin'?
Lyngsath: Words cut deeper'n knives, 'venturer. An' when yer pride's been 'acked to shreds, passion's the only thing as keeps ye standin' in front o' the stove.

Additional Information

Lyngsath Hyllbornsyn's name means "Long Knife" and "Hell Boar's son," respectively, in the traditional Roegadyn language.

Lore

Lyngsath works with the various members of the Culinarian's Guild, teaching them the basic techniques of cooking, and aiding them in honing their skills. He worked with the Warrior of Light, helping them cook various meals for their fellow guildmates. He also aided in preparing the Warrior of Light to make a dish for the Sultana as part of the plan of Lolorito, a powerful member of The Syndicate who intended to close the restaurant down and humiliate the Warrior of Light. After the amazing banquet delivered by them, Lyngsath thanked them for doing right by him and the guild.

During the Dellemont d'Or, Lyngsath recommended the Warrior of Light to take part in the competition and represent The Bismarck. When they came head-to-head with H'mhasi Tia and Melkoko Melko wishes to increase the stakes of the final match of the competition, Lyngsath puts the ownership for the restaurant on the line, putting complete faith in the Warrior of Light and their cooking ability. When the Warrior of Light earns the first ever ten in the history of the competition, Lyngsath congratulates them and thanks them for saving the Bismarck once again, encouraging them to continue their journey as a Culinarian.
