The astronomical prices he charges for cheap pasta and tomato dishes drowned in olive oil is disgusting. How can one chef be in charge of 50+ restaurants? This just leads to quality problems.

Nothing wrong with Piers Morgan. He is probably the only person on TV who speaks the truth. All UK TV channels a left-wing. You can tell this by looking at their news coverage. The daytime programmes are riddled with left-wingers pretending to be your friends (Holly, Phil, all the Loose Women, Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford, Rinder).

Presumably the chef has developed all the recipes and the worker drones make it according to that.

It’s not like you need that specific guy handling the food to make the same meal.

I think the keyword is "chain" as the keep-away from that place clue, not the chef's name. I think a really good chef shouldn't have more than 3-5 little business ventures going on...

no, it's not because i'm "jealous" as you say. it's because i recognize this Double Standard, which is a fact: husbands are expected to be the Breadwinner for as long as possible, usually until retirement, whereas the wife can just continue looking shittier and shittier over time, and she'll just blame it on "the stress of raising a family".

i'm not trying to argue with you. that would be pointless. this reply is just a statement of my recognition of this fact. you are free to choose to see this as fact or not.

i'm not 100% against marriage and having a family. i just think a successful man should do it when his life is already great and established, financially, and he should only marry a feminine woman who is vastly younger than him, because women age much faster and also have to cake on makeup to look sexy.

>>10139292
that's true. he does look like shit. but men are not judged by their looks, unless they are male models. men are expected to be USEFUL and FUNCTIONAL in some way that provides financial returns for himself and his family. so as a chef he can look ugly and shitty in public but that's OK because he's a man who is (or was) successful for something that doesn't require looking good (cooking). another good example is marco pierre white. he basically looks like an aging, gruff old man in his photos but no one gives a fuck about his looks, because he achieved the masculine virtue of being very good at his job and achieving status (won awards).

to compare, look at jaimie's wife, or look at marco's 3 wives, or look at ramsay's wife...they are NOT judged by their success. in fact, they have no successes or accomplishments other than who they married. some of them may have written some cook books that no one buys.

the point i am making is that this double standard does exist, because the genders are not equal. Men are expected to perform some useful function, and do it well. women are expected to just be fucking PRETTY, that is all.

>> No.10139621

>>10139592
...and yet when they cannot do that, when they cannot even meet that bare fucking minimum, then they should be mocked.

i should also add that along with male models, actors and tv presenters are also judged by their looks. but that's not always true, as there are ugly actors who still do well.

a man "looking like shit" and getting JUSTED is more than just about his face. for example, the big guy brendan fraser, went from having a muscular physique to being a fat disgusting fuck. this is bad relative to his career, which usually requires him to look like an attractive action hero so as to hold the audience's admiration.
