>>A chef’s palate is trustworthy.<<
Of course.
But I never understood why so many of them smoke — that would ruin your palate. I was a smoker for 30 years and quit 10+ years ago so I know.
I love the Chef shows and contests - Chopped, MasterChef, Hell’s Kitchen, Beat Bobby Flay, CUTTHROAT KITCHEN!, etc. Except the kid’s versions. I despise those precocious brats.
Amen....I detest those cooking kids.
They are given scripts to memorize.....
How else would they be able to talk food like a professional chef w/ years in cooking school and in restaurants.
