When you dine in the restaurant, do you tip the cook?
No. You tip the waiter/waitress based on the service.

In most (all?) states, wait staff are paid sub-minimum wage as they are expected to earn the balance in tips. Cooks, otoh, are paid at least minimum wage - usually more if they are any good.

My answer to your question is, No. Some places (waffle house) add a surcharge to carry-out orders to cover the cost of the papergoods. They may try and tell you it goes to the cook, but I doubt it really gets there.
