i'm pretty sure my neighbor is secretly a professional chef. they're always bringing home these fancy ingredients and coming up with crazy good smells.

nah, they're probably just rich and order takeout a lot, lol

dude, that's just code for they have money and order their groceries online. its probably just some deliver guy coming by every other day.

same, i'm convinced our neighbor is a food blogger or something, the photos of their dishes they post on instagram are insane!

really? have you tried asking them about it? i bet they'd be happy to share their passion for cooking if you showed some interest. might even get you a free meal out of it!

yeah i feel that. my neighbor is always bringing home like, exotic fruits and shit.

aren't you just kinda jealous that they can cook and you're over here eating ramen noodles every

freakin mad that. i'm pretty sure mine is actually frominstagram famous yeah, i know, but i've seen

um yeah, no way. they're just trying to compensate for their potato salad roughing the neighbors' taste buds in the

nah, they're just a regular person who likes to cook.

yeah my neighbor is the same way. the smells coming from their place are insane, i'm always tempted to knock on their

damn, must be nice to have a personal sous chef livin next door. i'd be askin for freebies every day

that's exactly what i was thinking! their place always smells incredible. i bet they have a secret restaurant or catering business on the side. wish they'd share some of that delicious food with the rest of us!

why don't you just ask them if they're a chef? you're being nosy as hell 🙄

nah, they're probably just a normal person who likes to cook. not everyone who buys nice food is a pro chef.

omg yes i'm obsessed with the smells too!! i'm still convinced it's just her trying to show off though, i mean who needs that many truffles in their pantry?

idk, mate, just because they've got some truffle oil doesn't mean they're the next gordon ramsay.

same with mine, i'm convinced they're running a underground bakery or something, always got flour

omg same!! i know exactly what you mean. i was drinking my coffee and then BOOM.

yeah no way, i live in an apartment upstairs from them and i can smell the ramen noodles cooking from their place just

nah, they're probably just buying pre-made sauces and seasoning packets from trader joe's, lol

you sure they're not just a normal person who likes to cook?

no way, they're probably just a foodie who loves experimenting in their own kitchen, don't have to be a professional chef to know what tastes good

are you raiding their trash for menus or something?

why don't you just ask them what they do for a living? or do you prefer to just gossip about them?

same here, i swear theirs is better than the place down the street. have you tried asking them about their cooking?

mate, have you actually seen 'em cook or is it just the ingredients??

yes i'm basically certain they're running a kitchen out of there. my guesses for what's going down: either they're funding their culinary hobby on a sugar mom or dad, or they're

or they just really enjoy throwing money at DoorDash

what are they whipping up when teh lights are off and you're gone for the day?

lol maybe they're just trying to fumigate the entire apartment complex with truffle oil

um, how many times do you see them actually cooking in their kitchen before jumping to conclusions?

either that or they're just hoarding truffle oil for the apocalypse

are you somehow okay with being surrounded by that on a month-to-month rent-controlled apartment that's clearly underd?

have you considered asking them for a dinner invite?

are you for real? my neighbor is basically living out of delivery boxes and their "fancy

nah, they're probably just shopping at trader joe's and microwaving fancy frozen meals

nah fam, they just a foodie. ain't no secret chef shit.

I'm convinced my neighbor is a part-time pastry chef - our building always smells like freshly baked bread on Sundays

how much spice do they have over there? asking for a friend

Yup the same thing! Although now I'm a little suspicious that the real reason I always see these amazing food trucks around here...

i bet they're just compensating for their lack of a personality

um aren't you the one who parks in my spot and never says hi

omg yeah i completely agree, i've been smelling these insane aromas coming from next door for years

yep, same vibe over here. just had to google what "labneh" is because the smell coming from the

mate, that's just desperate garnish innit. probably just shops at whole foods or whatever.

idk, or maybe they just have a really good recruitment therapist

dude, my neighbor's cat shits on their porch, that's the only "fancy ingredient" they're worried about

nah they're just a hobbyist who ordered a bunch of stuff online

is this just an excuse for never inviting anyone over for dinner because "something came up in the

Totally agree! That's exactly what my neighbor is like. They're always cooking up a storm and the smells coming from their place are out of this world.

dude they're probably just buying trader joe's frozen meals and you're getting played by their

doubt it, prob just buys pre made stuff from whole foods

nah, they're probably just a regular person who likes to cook.

either that or they're just a culinary sociopath, cooking up delicious aromas just to torment us mere mortals with culinary envy

i know, right? they must be hiding a whole restaurant kitchen in their place.

literally no joke, my aunt lives in the apartment below the "secret chef" and she swears they're a

or maybe they're just really into cooking meth and the 'fancy ingredients' are just code for '_preferences

same, mine's always got amazon deliveries of truffle oil and duck breast, meanwhile i'm over here

sounds like they're trying to recruit you for their underground food fight club.

yes, my cousin's wife just walked out and left a trunk full of truffles and foie gras, idk what

you ever consider just asking them?

Same thing happens at my place. I'm convinced my neighbor is a foodie influencer or something. I've smelled more lobster than I care to admit!

more likely they're just secretly a college student living off ramen and parent $$$

dude, are you stalking your neighbor or what?

yeah, . my neighbor's the same way. they're always getting deliveries from specialty grocers.

sounds like the perfect time to invite yourself over for dinner.

They're probably just trying to cook up a good alibi for all the suspicious packages I've seen arriving at their doorstep

nah mate, they're probably just spending too much on takeaway and trying to cover it up

nah, they probably just got a blue apron subscription

Agreed! I have a coworker who's always rattling off crazy spice blends and cooking methods, turns out she's a culinary school grad and works at a Michelin-starred restaurant on

nah fam, they just got a good taste in food. some people just like to cook nice meals, doesn't mean they're a professional chef or anything.

okay but they're not a chef, they just have a healthy anxiety about people judging their

maybe they're just cueing up their judging spin for the next season of hell's kitchen

that or they're just really into online shopping and setting off their fire alarm regularly

yup, or maybe they're just homeless and got a bad stove

omg yeah i've been thinking the same thing!! i've smelled risotto coming from their apartment at like 10pm on a

Sounds like they're just trying to get you to come over for a free dinner. Time to start "accidentally" leaving your keys at their place.

or they're just really into meal kit deliveries and excel at pretending to be a functioning adult

what makes you think they're a professional chef and not just a really good home cook? you jealous or something?

yeah i'm willing to bet my neighbor's just on copdus ny precision cooking yeah...

idk, maybe they're just baking for the apocalypse and don't want to leave us clueless about the end times

totally agree, that's exactly what i was thinking. i bet they're making some next level stuff over there.

um no they just have a good instacart budget, don't be ridiculous

um no, theyre just trying not to waste their expensive groceries that's all

that's just code for "I've been over there three times this week to beg for leftovers

do they look like they're enjoying it or is it stressing them out?

or maybe they just know how to use google and have a good habit

idk, seems like your secret ingredient is actually discretion because nobody's ever invited to

probably they're just a drug dealer.

nah they're probably just buying pre-made stuff from trader joe's

nah fam, they're probably just a basic home cook who knows how to use spices.

yeah, that or they're a serial killer. either way, you're in for a wild ride my friend.

or maybe they're just winging it and it's just really bad welding experiments

idk how you'd mistake jasmine rice and frozen vegetables for "fancy ingredients" but sure

dude, just cuz they like fancy food doesn't mean they're a pro chef, maybe they just have a decent cookbook and a pinterest account

yeah, that neighbor is up to something. probably blending up weird exotic fruits and veggies to make some fancy af dish.

same, my cousin used to live next to afood blogger and we'd get leftovers all the time...

or they just have a habit of setting off their fire alarm on purpose

nah thats bs. they're probably just a regular person who likes to cook.

please tell me they're not just subscribing to a meal kit, no one can actually be this Talented
