I know living where you live, you can't own what's in my safe. And I don't need a FOID card either. Stupid Illinois and Chicago laws.
Sucks for you I guess. | |

Posted: 7/31/2008 7:29:11 AM | This is mildly off topic as it is addressed to all the ladies who have answered this thread saying they would not mind if the man they were seeing was a Chef. My first career was as a Chef so I spend most of the years from my early teens until I was in my thirties working as a Chef, so here is my comment to those ladies (or men for that matter).
Let the Chef decide when to tell people that they are a Chef. It used to kill me when we would go to a restaurant or a social gathering and the first thing the girl would say about the food or to a server was "My boyfriend is a Chef ..." . I guess it was entertaining and a conversation starter when I was young, but eventually though you realize that it makes people think you are a bloody restaurant critic and they get all freaky.
When married the one thing that was handy about being a Chef was that I could cook dinner or clean the kitchen up in about 1/3 the time of my wife. Ironically I eat a very simple, unprocessed diet and don't really do "fancy" cooking for myself. | |

The first morning after me and my ex wife had married i tottled off down the stairs and quietly got to work.
I prepared a full english breakfast,complete with freshly squeezed juice,coffee,cream,a rose,chocolates and a newspaper then i took them up to my beloved on a sliver tray.
My wife said"col,that is perfect"
I said"yes my darling,and i want mine like that every morning"
We didnt last long after that !!

I like the thought of being in a kitchen and helping my man chef cook. If anything, we could teach each other some stuff.
There's another who's got it right. The OP is of course talking about the prospect of dating a chef, whereas it could be dating a man with any decent culinary skills. It obviously isn't the 1950's any more, and fewer women cook now, it seems. Men have made up the majority of the top chefs on the planet for years, which used to be at odds with the gender roles in typical households. It seems more balanced now, which is a great thing, and it's my opinion that people should embrace the opportunity to cook together.
Our pleasure center for food supposedly sits right next to that of sex, but most folks eat far more than they shag. Stretching that, the comments here might reflect attitudes in the bedroom as much as in the kitchen. Not wanting to be judged or criticized, wanting your partner to serve you; having such an adept partner that you blame them for your overindulging; not wanting to participate at all (by ordering in or out - now what's the bedroom equivalent?); or helping out and learning from one another, like the post above.
Apparently others made this 9 1/2 weeks - like connection:
Now see, if'n ya had a GOOD woman, she would have cleaned afterwards, NEKKID, and you wouldn't have minded how long it took!
Now there's an evolved woman, as close to marriage material as I can imagine. I'll fire up the grill. | |

Now there lies a connection between creative thinking!

Posted: 7/31/2008 8:00:15 PM | I did date a chef, and most of the time I truly loved and appreciated his abilities. But long term, I would be afraid of the diet dilemma. I was very afraid of overindulging as well. As a chef, he was trained to prepare food to look aesthetically pleasing and to taste good, and sometimes that wasn't the healthiest course of action to take. Sauces! Need I say more? Of course, he was thin.......
He also didn't subscribe to short-cuts either, like Tuna Helper etc. Sometimes I just wanted a quick fix! His preparations could be tedious - when I'm hungry I want something fairly quickly and not have to wait for it to be grilled to perfection in the slowest possible way! He cleans, trims, peels, cuts, and roasts in a special sauce he concocts. Sure. It’s delicious. But, by the time he's finished cooking an hour and a half later, I’d be willing to eat cat food.
I also found that we were somewhat excluded from being invited to friends houses for dinner. Some of my girlfriends vaguely mentioned that they felt he would be judging their cooking even subconsciously. His versatility and creativity in the kitchen frequently shut down our dinner invites.
Bon Appetit....... | |

Posted: 7/31/2008 9:44:34 PM | | NOPE I would probably not date a chef.... I has nothing to do with the home or being insecure about cooking or any of that baloney! I know I want to have a large family. the three big words here are JOB SECURITY AND SALARY think about that. When your Parntener is not equal to you in salary education ect then that is were it make a difference! | |

Umm...yeah...we're talking about a chef here...not a PT job at Mc D's.
And the food and hospitality industry is one of the biggest. Always jobs and always will be...people gotta eat.
Chef's earn a weeeeeeny bit more than a fricken burger flipper.

Can i ask if you have had personal experience from dating a poor chef that wasnt able to hold down a job for long?
As for salary,in the uk,especially in locations like im living at,its possible to earn a lot more than the average wage!
Security comes from your own ability to seek and retain a permanent position,reguardless of what your proffession is.
Me thinks that such generalising statements and holding such attitudes don't do you any favours. | |

Women love men who can cook.. Im a Chef, Well, Ive just finished 3 years of culinary school and ive been working at Pan Asia for like 3 months. But yeah..women love it.
It gets them out of cooking. Plus If a women is scared to get in a kitchen cuz your a Chef and is worried about her food being crappy, just go in there with her and show her the way it's done. If she isnt a ****, then she might learn some stuff. lol
Oh yeah, Most Chefs are ***holes, Don't scare the living hell out of her. But yeah, thats just whay i would do.. | |

As for salary, in my experience really good Chefs are like gold and can pretty much name their price. In particular, the ones that are willing to take on the senior roles and work the mega hours are well rewarded for their efforts. And they will never be out of work.
As to whether I'd date a chef - probably not. Not because of any feeling of intimidation of their prowess in the kitchen. I'm totally fine with someone with those wonderful skills taking on the cooking role if they are keen to do it out of the workplace. Sounds like heaven to me.
The problem for me would be the hours. There aren't many chefs working Mon-Fri, 9-5 jobs. It's the 'unsociable' hours that would put me off. But hey, if he wasn't working those sorts of hours, then no problems here whatsoever! | |

Posted: 8/5/2008 1:32:47 AM | haha I would LOVE it if a guy was a chef, or at least knew how to cook.
I'm really not much of a cook, but I love food, so that would be perfect. Then he could teach me how to cook and we could cook together or take turns. | |
