Birthday: June 7

Gonger is an adorable little pink monster with a HUGE amount of energy. He is Sesame Street’s resident foodie and acts as the head chef of Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck.

He is prone to quick bursts of emotion, as when Cookie Monster eats a necessary recipe ingredient, but he quickly regains his composure. After all, cooking and baking wouldn’t be the same without his best friend Cookie Monster. Gonger has a strong knowledge of cooking and food preparation. There isn’t a recipe he won’t try, and he’ll do anything to deliver an order–whether it’s flying around the room as he mixes some eggs, or quickly whipping something together before Cookie Monster has a chance to eat it. When you boil it all down, he is a sweet and lovable monster who helps his friends and anyone who asks. He is always willing to share his latest creation because, “this nice for you!”
