In the modern day, being classified as a great chef in the public eye is no longer just judged on food quality. Previously chefs used to be judged only on the taste and look of their food. In more recent times chefs are under great scrutiny in all aspects of their public lives. Chefs are now judged on their restaurants and television shows, as well as technical kitchen skills, such as the taste and look of their food and their training in culinary schools. The characteristics Bobby Flay exhibits prove him to be a superior chef compared to Rachael Ray. He is a better chef because of his many successful restaurants, popular TV shows and books and technical kitchen skills. The popularity of the restaurant is a testament to the quality of the chef. Bobby Flay’s restaurants have a large focus on southern food and grilling. This leads to a warm atmosphere Bobby Flay got his culinary degree at the French culinary institute of America and also received the honor of outstanding graduate. Bobby Flay has also been awarded 3 Emmys, has a star on the Hollywood walk of fame and has been inducted into the Culinary Hall of Fame, just to name a few. Bobby has also been praised on his attention to measurements and use of fresh ingredients. Although Rachael Ray has also won 3 Emmys, the only other cooking related award she has won was the people’s choice for favorite TV chef in 2011. That is a far cry from the impressive recognitions of Bobby Flay. Unlike Flay, Rachael Ray has not gotten any form of culinary education. She also does not believe in using specific measurements, unlike Bobby Flay, this makes recipes hard to replicate. She also uses many pre cut and pre-packaged materials to cut down on time during her recipes. This makes it hard to guarantee the freshness of the final product unlike bobby’s attention to fresh

Anthony Bourdain. If you happen to be a food aficionado, then you most likely know who this man is, and then there are some of you who have no idea who this ‘Anthony Bourdain’ is. According to Wikipedia, “Anthony Bourdain is an American chef and author”; Bourdain is known for hosting some of the Travel Channel’s culinary programs such as: The Layover and Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.

When Alex Guarnaschelli was in a restaurant in Paris, one male co-worker even said to her,” You suck, you’re a girl, I hate you.” (pg 431, para 2). This could have been a perfectly reasonable opinion, had it not been for the sole fact that she was a woman. All she wanted to do was cook bass, which she inevitably burned, but the co-worker wanted nothing to do with her in the kitchen. This view is furthered when Rebecca Charles tells of how even though she is the chef of the kitchen, delivery men will ignore her and ask her male sous chef for a signature when making a delivery. Some people go as far as to completely ignore the fact that women are great cooks, even ignoring them in their own kitchens. If a female chef happens to be over-enthusiastic she is seen as an immature school girl. The reporter makes sure to structure the questions in order to get the women to tell of the worst situations they had been forced to endure due to their
“She was from Pasadena, this six-foot-two marvel of a woman. It was not so much because she was an extraordinary cook- and she would pointedly remind us that she was a cook, not a chef” (Kehoe 1). Julia Child was an extraordinary woman who had a passion for cooking that she didn’t even know could change the way people cook. Julia Child most definitely influenced cooking for generations to come with her passion for cooking and love for food.
Ramanathan develops her stand by stating the stereotypes people have on ethnic food and how cheap it should be. She quotes university professor Krishnendu Ray and make references to his book, which states that people would “refuse to pay more than $30 for what they perceive as ethnic food”. Ray is a credible source as he is a professor who received various awards for his research. He most likely has done his research thoroughly before making his claims. She also cites chef Chris Shepherd, who has incorporated different cuisines into American food, to suit the tastes of the population. This suggests that the trend is moving towards what people want to see from the food rather than authentic cultural food. Similarly, Stevens mentions Jennifer Jordan, an associate professor who states that food has been a link that creates memories. This supports Stevens’s claim of people having their personal opinion on authentic food. She makes a clear stand stating how crucial it is to understand the culinary diversity and heritage of the food by using statements from Sarah Cappeliez, a PhD candidate (Para. 15) and Paul Qui, a well-known chef (Para. 19). The use of valid evidences by both, made their articles more persuasive and
The rest is history. Bouchon is a chain of restaurants and bakeries all around the USA. He is the only chef to be awarded three Michelin stars simultaneous for two different restaurants.
Hi Mr. Jarrod! As I know you are expecting an important client coming in from out of town, and I would like to help you decide by telling you about the differences and similarities between two of my favorite restaurants. Hopefully, you find one of them suitable enough for your business dinner. I have been to many restaurants in town, but so far Ruby Tuesday and Red Lobster are my favorite ones. Ruby Tuesday and Red Lobster are two similar restaurants with a slight difference in menu, service speed, and price. They receive the same type of customers although the ambiance of these two places is little bit different.
When choosing a famous culinarian I probably should have chosen someone a bit more famous like Paula Deen, Gordon Ramsey, or Anthony Bourdain. At least that way I would have a plethora of bios, summaries, and different multi medias to work with, who mind you are all amazing chefs and have made great names for themselves. But they are all “cookie cutter” chefs. They each have amazing talent and great TV personalities. But what have any of them done to enhance our industry?
In the story, the cook is described as making incredible dishes “Make good thick soup and bake a tasty pie” (394) He wears his name of cook well, enthralling all who sample his food with its captivating flavor. Comparably, Gordon Ramsay is perhaps the most well-known cook in today’s time, famous for his proficiency in the art of cooking. Yet although they are similar in their capacity to create spectacular dishes, they are incredibly different in the way they run their kitchen. While Gordon Ramsay follows strict sanitary procedures, the cook could care less about sanitation. “He had an ulcer on his knee”. Despite the fact that he is sickly and has an open, festering ulcer infecting everything it comes in contact with, he continues to serve his customers, paying no mind to their health. Gordon Ramsey would never even contemplate engaging in such abhorable scamming of the general public, and would undoubtedly openly frown at this selfish , disgusting
Raised in sSouthern Louisiana, it is not a surprise that Donald Link was engulfed with the culinary art of Cajun food from a young age. As a child he began to cook with his grandfather, which seeded a love for culinary. This later led him into beginning his professional cooking career at age of fifteen, working in little restaurants in Louisiana. He then took his budding enthusiasm and talents to San Francisco, where he further developed his culinary skills at the California Culinary Academy. In addition, he cooked at famous San Francisco eateries in his spare time, such as the Flying Saucer and Elite Café. Once he completed his culinary courses at the Academy, Chef Link returned to Louisiana where he opened the first of his five restaurants, Herbsaint in New Orleans with Chef Susan Spicer. The success of Herbsaint drove him to open another restaurant six years later in the spring of 2006. Link opened his tribute to the Cajun foods and techniques that sparked his now long and successful career, Cochon Restaurant in New Orleans. A year later, in 2007, Donald Link was nominated for the James Beard award for Best Chef of the South, while Cochon Restaurant was nominated for Best New Restaurant in the same year. In 2012 and 2013, Link was also nominated for honorable award of Outstanding Chef by the same foundation. Gourmet Magazine listed Herbsaint as one of the top fifty restaurants in America, and was inducted into the News Hall of Fame.
...fusal for limitations in the kitchen (star chefs, 2010). Where Nilsson’s inspiration comes from Noma’s Rene Redzepi for unique flavour pairings (Brickman, 2012). They each have a personal way of platting, Shewry’s is more built and delicately placed together (see figure 2). Where Nilsson’s (see figure 1) shows of each component in its own light. Just because one chef has more opportunity for fresh produce, does not mean that the final outcome is any less of the other.

It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to be a chef. However, if one has a passion for cooking it will pay off. I am a creative person and cooking has endless possibilities of creativity, such as the way you make it and the way you plate it. I want to become a chef and hopefully open a restaurant one day. To do that, you need to learn the basic skills. Julia Child once said, “No one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.”
