Celebrity Chefdom

Ten things TV chefs won't tell you but most people believe anyway: They aren't all "chefs"; their cooking shows are just one long commercial for the cookbooks, which you don't even need to buy because the recipes are online; their recipes are good TV, not always good in the kitchen; there's a reason Nigella licks the spoon that way (that's right: it's not called food porn for nothing); don't expect to see the big chefs at any of their restaurants, especially in Vegas; and no matter who the chef is on TV, it's still good for business.
