Food culture doesn't necessarily require a foreign country. People eat
things in California that I never saw in South Carolina (for example). I
lived in California, Virginia, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Ohio, Pennsylvania. Vacationed in Malaysia and made a brief visit to Laos.
We were going to go to India for a couple of weeks but a war broke out.

When Dad retired he decided (for very strange reasons) to move us to west
Tennessee. (Once we were out of the house he and Mom high-tailed it back to
South Carolina!) Then there's the art shows I've been helping John with the
last few years. Mostly mid-west, to be sure, but I'd probably never have
understood what a "Maid-Rite" is were it not for shows in Iowa And I'd
never had BBQ'd beef ribs until we did a show in Houston, TX. They aren't
at all common here.

Actually, you didn't have to be a vet to have that problem. My mom, my
middle brother and I all came back to the States from Thailand a few months
early because middle-bro got hooked on it (he was 14). Apparently a lot of
the "noodle cart" vendors parked outside of ISB (International School of
Bangkok) were selling more than noodles, soup and fried rice. Dad had to
remain in Bangkok to finish his tour of duty and my oldest brother stayed
with him because it was his senior year. (My parents didn't feel it would
be fair to yank him out only a few months before graduation and enroll him
in a school where he didn't know anyone.)

LOL Cousin Herb. Yeah, $300... sheesh! I have no idea where he is. After
my Aunt Jean (Mom's sister, his adoptive mother) died he sold her house and

I'd cross the border into Ohio but that would be considered stalking,
right? Put so much as his toe in Pennsylvania and he's just about a goner,

I agree. The real chefs are in the kitchens of five star restaurants
not on TV telling us how to make a "gourmet" snack in 5
minutes.

While I don't eat at the fast food restraunts, I wouldn't want to know
about any violations in the restraunts around me. I feel like if I
knew the half of it I'd never eat out again.

FWIW.... there is a public health alert for people who have recently eaten
in a local restaurant. This week there were four people who came down with
an e-coli 0157 infection after eating there. The four victims range in age
from 4-16. Public health officials want to talk to anyone who has eaten
there recently in case they are showing any symptoms.

From what I was told about Taco Bell is that just about everything on the
menu is just add water (rehydrated) crap.

Ate there a handful of times, ages ago.

Having been and executive chef for 40 years I rise to your opinion.
First as to cleanliness, when an apprentice chef I had to present
myself and hands to the sous chef each day before my shift started.
Woe be to the apprentice and or cook who turned up not properly
dressed and clean. In todays PC world this has diminished quite a lot.
To challenge a persons hygiene is problematic but should be done
regardless. Proper kitchen dress includes covering of all hair,
period. I have seen long uncontrolled hair in very upscale restaurants
such as Mesa Grill. It is not professional and the establishment
should be called on it. Cleanliness in the kitchen starts at the top.
If a executive or sous chef or kitchen manager does not set a good
example how can he/she enforce rules?

The titles of various chef positions has been watered and diluted
basically for financial reasons. Chain restaurants and food service
companies do not like standard culinary industry titles that have a
pay expectations attached to them. They have created the "kitchen
manager", "lead cook" or just chef among various titles to enable them
to create their own hour and pay structure.

In the industry the boutique chefs or TV chefs are usually a joke.
There are some that are truly stars but very few and getting fewer.
They are at best cooks. Cooks cook, chefs run kitchens.

OK, that explains my extra duties as a lowly dishwasher, when called upon by
the chefs to fetch them pitchers of beer from the walk in cooler's keg, as if
MY job didn't matter!

Still, I got used to underage drinking as a result.

I hate there twice... the first time and the last time. I had been too
busy to stop for dinner on an afternoon shift so I beef burrito at the new
taco Bell two doors down from our office and ate it on the way home. I woke
up in the middle of the night feeling like I was about to explode. Nasty
stuff.

You're lying to us, Blake. Next you'll try to tell us that milk doesn't

I'm really persnickety about touching raw poultry. I set things up
with bleach water before I start preparing it. Beef, on the other
hand, I often snack on raw while preparing it. I haven't gotten sick
from it yet.

I wear gloves any more to cut up poultry. Helps me get a better grip on
it anyway. ;-)

As for beef, I've been known to purchase lean top or bottom round and
use it to make steak tartar.

I like to dip it in a mix of shoyu and raw egg yolk.

I'm often distracted when watching Giada (sp?) and how no show is

her soft-spoken-ness and her recipes sure look good and easy. But
