Chef Bill, you've been chopped...
But, we haven't even started cooking yet!
Nevertheless Chef Bill, you've been chopped.
How the **** can you chop me before we've even started?
Sorry Chef Bill, you've been chopped.

Yes, it's nice to see well prepared food and (sometimes) watch the preparation. I find cooks that don't wear gloves, hairnets (especially the hairy cooks) or taste food as they cook, disgusting. They are disgusting to watch. I wouldn't eat the food. I don't have a phobia about it, but who wants people putting their hands into what you're going to eat?

In French, the word 'chef' means 'the boss'. In days of yore, there was only one chef in the kitchen. That was the person that ran the kitchen. Everyone else was an underling and not called chef. That made sense. But hey, that was years ago. Nowadays, everyone has to feel that they are valued and important. Even if they are not valued, or important.
It's a touchy feely world. Kids get pushed through school. It is difficult or impossible to fail them for poor performance. I guess the same goes for cooks, er, I mean chefs. You're all so special in your own individual ways! Thanks for being you! Have a big, double helping of hugs!
If I had gone to a culinary school, apprenticed for years, put in time at swanky restaurants to become something more than a short order cook, I'd be angry if just anyone was called 'chef'. However, there is no actual qualification that must be earned to be called "chef", so I suppose the point is moot.
Everyone that cooks on this damn show is a "chef". Everyone.
If you'd like to be underwhelmed, read the bios of some of the judges for these shows. While some of them have gone to school, most have few or no credentials whatsoever. I have as much right to call myself 'chef' as they do. Perhaps more. I own three kitchens myself.
Call yourself a doctor. Get arrested.
Call yourself a chef. Get on the Food Network.
