Thinking about Eliot in The French Connection Job, teaching all the rich brats to cook and refusing to give a name other than "chef"...
I think by this time he's aware of how easy it is for him to accidentally become famous (for baseball, hockey, singing, whatever) and he doesn't want that to happen with his cooking, because he actually cares about his cooking.

"This is from that earlier episode when she was in university where the idea was she was gonna go to art history class and finally see what art means and it works beautifully here. She’s finally kind of opened herself up to this is something I used to steal and now I get it."
"That’s an important part of season five is like, Parker’s completion as a human being. She’ll always be broken, she’ll always be thief, but she has learned to relate to people." - Chris Downey and John Rogers, The French Connection Job DVD Commentary

Just reblogged your excellent Parker meta but was curious what your issue with the French Connection Job is if you're interested in sharing
I am very interested in sharing, thank you for asking! (This is the meta post mentioned btw.)
The French Connection Job breaks the generally well-followed Leverage rule of not creating out of character traits for the sake of a single episode or joke, which is bad enough -- but it especially irritates me that they do it for my two favorite characters, Hardison and Parker.
First of all, I don't believe for a second that Alec Hardison -- a character established as being so empathetic that Eliot surmises he would actually die trying to get the body of a dead mountain climber back to the deceased man's wife in "The Long Way Down Job" -- would ignore his friend/girlfriend when she's clearly feeling sad or upset about something.
Second, Alec Hardison tips. Alec Hardison has never met a system he couldn't rebel against, and the customer/worker capitalist class system would be no different. The implication that he would see customer service workers as "just doing their jobs" and therefore undeserving of tips is ludicrously out of character. Alec Hardison tips 100% of the check. When Alec Hardison is helped out by a worker who "isn't allowed" to take tips, he practices his pickpocketing skills by reverse-pickpocketing a $50 bill into that person's pocket. These are headcanons, but they're heavily supported by everything we know about Hardison, how he was raised, and how he's used his hacking skills. All evidence tells us he is a deeply compassionate person who would not argue over tipping unless it was to argue that the people living off tips really deserved more than they got. And then he would drop a fortune into his frazzled waitress's bank account just for the fun of it.
Third is the episode's implication that Parker would find anything wanting in how she lives her life, or that she is passionless and without feeling. Parker's passions for bank layouts, jumping off high buildings, Christmas, cash money, safes, and chocolate are weird passions to most people, but they're genuine passions and they clearly make her feel a full array of emotions. I don't think she would see herself as needing to change, and I don't really like the episode's implication that -- if she did see herself in that way -- she would be right. Parker does not need to have "normal" interests in order to "feel things". She feels things just fine and there is nothing wrong with the way she interacts with the world.

Eliot asking Nate if threatening to cut off Rampone's head was a little too much will never not be funny.
Nate reassuring him that it was fine was sweat. He was like "no kiddo, I totally support your violent aspirations :)"

I love how eliot will do anything for his family (parker)
he says he doesn't have time (he does. he makes the time. because he loves her.)
and she's confused about what making food means to eliot but she's willing to look again and try to understand

Leverage Log: The French Connection Job
Ooh the mark is Elliot's old friend (guy who taught him how to cook). Charming, --- "we havent cleared the accomodation yet so you'll have to live with the strippers". God how do they come up with these scams? --- Oh, Parker is having an identity crisis. --- Oh, Sophie isn't starting an acting troupe she's training an army of mini-sophies. Thats promising. --- Also once more: Food industry in leverage: ridiculously bullshit competitive. Like i get that rare ingredient smugling isnt unrealistic, and this is different from food megacorp. But i couldnt let it go unmentioned that they're acting like drugdealers and kidnapping chefs. --- Patrice went down like expected. Elliot knocking down goon number 2 entirely off screen. Like he doesnt even hit them, the goon falls as a scene transition. --- Ok, Hardison you are a Multi-millionaire, you can afford to tip your courier. (especially as keeping your courier friendly means you get mission critical shit quicker when you need to order parts for you EMP gun or something in a hurry because the current con got a complication)

Awwww Eliot is adapting the recipes as they work based on what Parker says. And the proud, happy smile the entire team has when she declares „I feel something!“
I love them all

Leverage headcanon.
Hardison doesn't want to tip the delivery guy because they have history for some ridiculous reason and Alec holds a grudge. Only reason he wouldn't generously tip someone.
