Does that guy on the top of the page in the date banner bug anyone else but me? If he's a chef, I'm Escoffier! I hate it when they use models as chefs. The little "poof" of hair sticking out from under the toque is always a dead giveaway.

Nicko- that's not you, is it?!!

I bet you just love the Bragard/Chef Wear/etc. sales catalogues UniChef

[Nick.Shu]

because he has a poof does that make him one (heheh)

Dead on, Unichef!! The banner boy is far to pretty to really be a chef, just like the guys in the Bragard catalogue.

[Katherine]

He looks like he belongs in the FOH.

[Nick.Shu]

you are right, he does look like charlie brown with a toque on.

ok - definately not a chef - the will o wisp hair laden with golden staph ready to fall in food is a "Aye", however, the almost smartarse look, ready to deliver a ego smashing statement could almost fool.

I shall leave it up to your judgement eh?.

[Nicko]

Hey Unichef, you bring up an interesting point about the use of models. First of all for the record, it is not me. Anyone who knows me could tell you that if it were me there would be a heavy 5 o'clock shadow and then some. This guy looks like if he touched a hot saute pan he would take off screaming.

The point I would like to bring up though is that it is interesting that many do not find this ad appealing. The Date council is trying to promote the use of California Dates among chefs, and I would guess that they have no idea that their banner ad was actually bothering some chefs. If you ask me they would of been much better of if they could of used a celebrity chef.

Just some thoughts.

Maybe we can create a page... bash the date chef guy!

I find most talented chefs to be quite attractive and feel that it's far better to use actual chefs to do advertising for industry products. The talent and knowledge comes thru. Am I alone people?

I think we should make a pinata of the date chef guy and bring him to our holiday party!

:LOL: You guys are harsh....who knows he may be a perfectly decent date.

You're right, Shroomgirl - I blush with shame. He looks like he would be sweet and tender . . .

[cape chef]

Omg, Give me a break!!!! LOL

Ah, Cape Chef . . . you'll never know what goes on between a girl and her date.
