Well, I would say I told you so, but geez! What if she'd had hot stuff in her hands, or whacked her head?

This is why chefs do not wear $300 blouses and Pucci shoes (was that the brand name she called?)

Have you ever felt or worn a chef's coat--they are coats! LOL--thick, heavy things, more like denim than oxford-cloth. So they can be washed constantly, but also, so they won't melt against your skin if/when you do splash hot grease on you.

During the summer when I take kids to summer camp and back I see all the chefs in pasadena wearing those heavy white coats. I don't know how they can wear those.

There must be a reason why they all wear that style? Even Emerill wears that on hot days doing those morning shows.

It's partly that it's a tradition and a symbol of being a real "chef". If you go to culinary school, you have to wear them (and usually the silly hat, too!). Plus, it's typically hot in kitchens, so chefs are going to sweat no matter what they wear!

That being said, I have been a F&B manager and had chef coats but I usually wore mine as jackets since I am very hot-natured. But, I didn't go to chef school, so I never "had" to. I do like the short-sleeved ones Gordon Ramsey wears--that I could wear.

But, in general are made to fit properly, close to the body and with sleeves a bit shorter so they don't get in the food or the "fire". So, that's a safety aspect. Plus, they are white as a "cleanliness" symbol. And, at the end of the night, you can see how hard (or sloppily) you worked by how dirty your coat is.

Good episode last nite. I picked the winner for both challenges correctly. Those two are my favs.

I was sad to see Shane leave last nite and hoped it would have been Lisa instead. The two remaining guys did much better in front of camera. So who will be the next Food Network Star?

Anyone else disappointed in the finale and the pick for the next food network star? I liked Adam better. I could not understand half the words that Aaron said, he was muffled and hard to decipher. Poor choice they made and actually Lisa was the best she had ever been, plus that challenge with her in black outfit climbing the big storage thing.

I was also disappointed that Adam didn't win. He seemed more fun and lively than the others. I thought his show idea, I'm Always Hungry in Philadelphia was a good one.

I would have prefered Lisa or Adam. I think Lisa more than Adam just because it didn't take her as long to perform as Adam. but then again I have a thing for a diva in stilletos
