I once saw a cooking show host swipe his sleeve across his nose and then just continue the demonstration...yuck

Seinfeld said it best, "people love long hair and comment on how beautiful it is but let one of them get loose and people will freak out". I worked in a restaurant and hair is the least of our worries.

Not only do they sweat into the food, but they also taste with a spoon and then tap the rest back into the pot!!!!!! OMG! How disgusting is that? I used to work at a bar that was attached to an upscale resturant. The chef was so gross. He had dandruff in his beard and he would clean the edges of the plates going out with his apron that was coated in the night's drips, splats and all the other plates. I would not eat there.

I agree about the hair. Pull it back or net it. The one that really disgusts me, and I know a lot of people love her to death, Paule Deen. Sweet, sweet, woman, however, I don't care how pretty, or expensive, or how shiny the rocks look in the studio lighting, take those dirty, nasty, rings off before you mix food with your bare hands. Gaa! I saw her mix up a sweet potato casserole 2 years ago. I'll bet it is still in those rings. Ewww.

Paula Deen keeps her rings on because she told Michael she could always get them dirty and cleaned back up but she couldn't do anything if they fell in the trash or disposal. She said he told her he'd rather her keep them on.

I don't take my rings off for anything either and they clean up real nicely.

I can't stand when I see them sweat and it drips...that is just too gross. Sometimes the judges make comments on the "double dipping" but it sure seems like it happens a lot of times. They must have a jumbo supply of tasting spoons where we can't see them.

I am going to stick my nose in here and might even get it smashed....but.....I have been wondering............
what started all this craze of having long hair? If it is kept clean, neat, and trimmed so there are no straggly ends, it looks fine, but the stringy hair is unsightly. I thought about this craze and the only thing I can relate it to is...
dancers and cheer-leaders, etc., who bend over and flip their hair over their head? Is there supposed to be something beautiful about that? The hair winds up messy and wild looking. Is it the Born to Be Wild Craze?

Why are so many older women (and that included Hillary Rodham Clinton) wearing long hair? For some women it really makes them appear to be older and haggard. Do they ever look in the mirror? Where does the fad end??

I am wondering where this craze came from? For years the statement about hair was that men like long hair. How true is that? And WHY????

I agree with the long hair and cooking. The double-dipping is horrid. Also, do they ever wash their hands? Some shake hands with the audience and then start cooking immediately. GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!
