Luke Danes

Grew up… hating the lack of privacy in his small town of Stars Hollow. Luke’s father, who owned the local hardware store, was a beloved figure in town. Living… in a tiny apartment above his father’s hardware store, which Luke inherited and turned into a diner. As much as he complains about Stars Hollow, he doesn’t seem to have any interest in leaving. Profession… owner of Luke’s diner, and hence coffee supplier to talkative town local Lorelai Gilmore (which is a full time job in and of itself). As a diner owner, he’s by extension a chef, waiter, and business manager. Considering how busy Luke is, he really takes a surprising amount of time to talk to his favorite caffeine-loving customers. Interests… camping, fishing, and baseball caps. Though he was a Trekkie and a track star in high school, as a grown man he enjoys strictly solitary pursuits. It’s fair to say that the list of things Luke doesn’t like is quite a bit longer than the list of things he does.
