    The restaurant …
    The restaurant wasn’t open yet so he probably does take off the bracelet, etc. We just kinda were filming when he first got to the restaurant to start prepping for dinner.

    The only jewelry …
    The only jewelry chefs are allowed to wear in the kitchen is a wedding ring, which is what he is wearing, and it’s not uncommon for chefs to wear their wedding rings while working. But I agree that he shouldn’t be wearing that watch or bracelet.

  14. Yes I agree with …
    Yes I agree with your comments about the chef not wearing gloves. I am sure most people dont wear gloves at home. But after reading a comment from another viewer, I am concerned about the ring and the watch. If you wash haands with a ring on you have to spend more time making sure you wash under the ring and even so, it would probably stay moist underneath – great for bacteria.
    And about the salad, very simple. I though he might have shown off a little with something more creative.

    Bacteria is …
    Bacteria is EVERYWHERE. Even on gloves. So washing your hands properly really isn’t much different than wearing gloves. I’m uming you don’t watch cooking shows. They don’t wear gloves on those either.

    Gloves are a waste because you’d have to keep switching them if you’re working with meat, fish, etc because of cross-contamination. So to spare the environment, most chefs don’t wear gloves and instead just wash often & thoroughly.

    Most chefs don’t …
    Most chefs don’t wear gloves and just wash their hands often instead. I think it depends on the restaurant’s rules and personal preference.

  17. yea true
    yea true

    I’ve never seen a chef cook with a watch, a bracelet and a ring on. Not professional.

    Learning about the diff cuts of meat was helpful! I like that it’s something diff from the everyday diethealth vid.

  23. I actually didn’t …
    I actually didn’t think anything of it. I’m sure worse has happened in any public kitchen. Like, putting dropped food back onto the plate, etc. Just try not to think about it:)

  24. Good!
    Good!
