Cooking Boys

"Not a particularly huge fan of [the Cooking Boys], much more vicious than the Kings. A face beaten in by a rolling pin is always a sad sight. Tensions are high between the Boys and the Kings, and a turf war is certainly brewing.

There, that's your history lesson for today."

- Honcho Biggs

The Cooking Boys was a gang located near New Vegas.

History
The arrival of hundreds of immigrants in Freeside created tension with the already established local gang known as the Kings. Banding together, so rival gangs were formed, however the strongest eventually forced the others to join or get killed. Basing themselves out of a former Highway 66 Cafe, the group became known for beating those that crossed them with rolling pins. Naming themselves the Cooking Boys, the gang included NCR immigrants, tribals such as the Angels, and mercenaries such as the Freeside Rollers. The gang secretly was receiving weaponry from the NCR through companies like the Crimson Caravan to aid them in taking over Freeside. Freeside was preparing itself for the inevitable turf war to decide who owned the slums outside Vegas.

Defeat
The leader of the Cooking Boys was nicknamed "Knife" with his right hand men "Pot" and "Oven". A vigilante in Freeside named Adam tried to fight back, leading to the newly formed New Vegas Police Department getting involved. Red and his companions arrived and stormed the Boys' HQ. Knife, Pot, and Oven were all killed, and Red took Knife's special sword, a pre-war limited edition ThunderCats memorabilia. The remainder of the Cooking Boys fled to the Horowitz Farmstead, led by a man called "Butcher" later shortened to "Butch". Butch and two other men robbed the Westside Depo, ransacking the place and stealing an incoming supply shipment.

Red and the NVPD arrive at the Farmstead. Butch and his men surrender, and are taken into custody. With this, the Cooking Boys were permanently splintered, with some, such as Duck the Drug Dealer, going independent, and others forming much smaller gangs such as the Breakers.
