Chef Bernadette (Kristina Nicoll) was apparently Maximus' personal chef in her appearances before "Poached Egg". In "Poached Egg", she resigned as Maximus' personal chef when she refused to make an omelette out of the last existing Piraxian Rhino egg, despite Maximus' order. In the episode's ("Poached Egg") conclusion (not in her appearances after "Poached Egg"), she went back to her old job as Maximus' personal chef after Maximus gave up on making an omelette out of a Piraxian rhino egg, and as a result, he ended up nearly eating Minimus instead.
