Fans of DS9 will fondly recall that Capt. Benjamin Sisko, son of restauranteur Joseph Sisko, proprieter of Sisko's Creole Kitchen, was raised to be a chef before his illustrious career in Starfleet and as a Bajorian demigod. Between those events, however, we would frequently see him cooking for friends and family.

Similarly, in SNW, we see Captain Christpher Pike cooking in his suspiciously well-equipped quarters, often serving intimate dinners, friendly gatherings, and diplomats alike with culinary delights and delicacies from across the (known) galaxy.

Between the two, who would you rather be served by? Whose cuisine would win out? Which of these legendary captains would best the other in a competition if you had to choose?

Edit: for the sake of discussion, let’s assume that both Pike and Sisko are cooking with real ingredients, nothing replicated/synthesized.
