WOW! Since your quoting me in that post I have to wonder what brought you to hurling insults my way. I'm not the OP and I have no idea who the person is that you are talking about or if they are a Chef or not. You might consider taking...

Does it matter? After all we all know the reputation of James Beard or even Escoffier or Prosper Montagné. If we know their reputation then certification becomes a bit moot at some point. In the case of an unknown that's another story.

IMO You can be a Chef with out being certified but certification offers credibility. In my book if you are certified by the ACF or one of the other credible organizations world wide then yes you are a Chef or a cook as your...

That's true but not entirely accurate. DO's for example today are for all intents and purposes the same as a MD. Two different medical phosophies but both doctors. Some medical schools (MSU) have both programs on the same campus so you...

You don't have to be a "professional" to buy an NSF rated product. I have no doubt there are manufacturers out there importing wood from unknown origins and/or making boards in China with God only knows what kind of chemicals...

I think you already explained that earlier in this thread and I don't want to get to far OT. I will say that arguing with a health inspector is futile. I spoke to a friend involved with board production and the explanation I received...

The dimpled handle on the Global is one of the better functional features. Not that you should like it because of that. Oddly enough a lot of people compare them to the Chroma but they are nothing like each other at all. The handle on...
