      @@mateol5610 Of course! However I do believe that due to the "celebrity chef" FAD that has been going on for the past 20-30 years there has been a mass distortion of the public's perception of fine dining. I mean to say that they see fine dining as some sort of ultra high-heat, swearing and cursing filled environment, whereas in most cases it is actually quite the opposite. If you absolutely have to swear as a Head chef that means that you have LOST control, not that you are IN control. That is what I meant to say.
