cook

A gender-neutral cook wearing a chef's hat, used for anyone cooking or working in food service, and constantly attached to recipe posts, cooking show references, or 'I made dinner' brags. Trivia: this emoji is functionally distinct from the earlier 'man cook' emoji from Unicode 4.0 — the profession-emoji update deliberately added a gender-neutral chef's-hat version to modernize what had been a male-only cooking emoji for years.
