Amuseables Horatio Pistachio comes from a fine family. He’ll tell you (politely!) that pistachios are technically seeds, not nuts, and that his lineage traces back to an orchard in southern Italy. Despite the grand name, Horatio’s always been shy – until a craft chocolate course helped him come out of his shell. Now, whether hand-rolling truffles to pouring viral Dubai-style slabs, he’s happiest in the kitchen: sticky, smiling, and confident. He’s brought you a batch to try. Be kind – he’s still learning to temper!
Allexi Alligator is head chef at Gator’s Gap: a celebrated (and entirely meat-free) diner nestled in the Louisiana marshland. Renowned for his tofu chowder and okra gumbo, Allexi gives classic Southern staples a veggie twist – and takes pride in feeding just about everyone who wanders into his swamp. Even Amuseables Peanut, who, wildly off-route, found himself in need of some sustenance after gator-frogging across the Gap, got a warm Southern welcome. (Allexi didn’t charge him a dime. After all, it’s not often someone cartwheels through the mid-lunch service!)
By day, Hopscone Luxe Bunny is rarely spotted. By night, she’s the voice of Luxe FM: spinning hophip dance tracks and providing the odd weather update (usually a guess).

Her cousin Bashful Bunny is a regular listener, though she admits the late-night air horn segment takes some getting used to… Any requests? She’s live from 9. Velvet ears perked, volume up!
