Zess T. is a Toad chef residing in Rogueport Square.
Biography[]
First Meetings[]
She is first seen outside of her house looking for one of her contact lenses, which she had lost. If you try to sneak past her, or in any other way go towards her, Mario will inevitably step on her lost contact, crushing it. She then becomes extremely angry at Mario, announcing that she will block the way into west Rogueport until you buy her a new one. When you ask for it at the nearby store, the owner tells Mario that it will take time to get the contact, as it must be ordered and must be shipped to the store. When it does arrive, buying it and giving it to Zess T. will cause her to stop blocking the way. If you then visit her in her house, she reveals her passion as a cook and offers to cook any items you may have.
Trouble Center[]
If you check the Trouble Center later in the game, she has put a request for help up in there as she is looking for a rare cookbook. She believes that reading this cookbook will instantly make you a better chef, and knows that it is hidden somewhere in Creepy Steeple. If you retrieve the book from there and give it to her, she will read it, and subsequently learn how to cook two items together.
