Why do chefs on food work channel always lick their fingers and touch the food they serve?
I love watching the food network channel, but don’t think I’d want to eat any of the food. It seems like sanitation would be the first thing they learn to cook. I just watched chopped and this arrogant chef kept sticking her pinkie in the food and tasting… then the judges had to eat it. Yuck!
I see this happen on the other shows as well.
if you’ve ever worked in any food service establishment, you would be aware of the requirements for the towels they use to have a min level of chlorine bleach in them/in the water….
while i agree w/ you that the shows seem to preswent the idea that these chefs are tawdry fools who think they’re so wonderful that any of us mortals would simply love to drink their spit, this is inaccurate. i began work in a 5 star country club w/ 1 of 2 master chefs in the country at the time. no one in the kitchen did this.
That’s why I don’t go to restaurants often. Kitchen Nightmares made me that way.
I guess they get rushed in these speed contests and don’t think about what they’re doing. I also notice the ladies with long hair don’t always wear it back as I do when I cook. The judges must know what’s going on but I guess they don’t mind.
