And for what it's worth, it is not just food network stars. I remember thinking that Paul Perdomme was "THE MAN!" until I actually saw him cooking on TV.
He was guest hosting on another person's show (don't recall who) and I got disgusted watching him. Look...there is nothing wrong being a large person...but if you are a professional chef, at least try to act like it.
While cooking, Paul repeatedly would stick his unwashed dirty hands into the pots and pans of food that he was cooking. Why? Because, "Oh...oh...that just smells sooooo good I just gotta...I just gotta [chew chew smack chew]" and with his mouth still full "oh...that is good man..."
I know his recipes to be flavorful, but I lost a degree of respect for him after that one. |
