Chef Tony

Anyone feel Chef Tony is just an "actor" ? What are his credentials ? I never see him cooking, just selling gadgets and reheating processed, packaged foods. I had never seen or heard of him on The Food Channel. He was on with David tonight. I had to turn him off and switched to the Jewerly TV station.

I had no idea, so I googled him. He's not a professional chef. He made his name selling kitchen gadgets on infomercials and shopping channels.

Many people will give themselves some kind of name, lable, or title without having credentials. Doesn't mean a thing.

My brother-in-law goes by the name of Doctor. Everyone I know in our town calls him Doc or Doctor. People that meet him for the first time will often ask if he's a medical doctor or dentist. No, we tell them, he just gave himself that "title" because he feels he is a doctor of knowledge. LOL!!!!! He's nothing but a "know it all."

@Reever, Anthony Joseph "Chef" Tony Notaro is an advertising pitchman for cooking and kitchen products...JUST LIKE DAVID!!

I think his full name is Tony Notaro. I've seen him doing knife informercials and other gadget infomercials. So what? Don't like him? Switch channels, as you did.

I first saw "Chef" Tony about 25 years ago. He was on an infomercial for a then new T-FAL 9" skillet. He's been doing this a long time.

I'm none too sharp, but even I am beginning to sense a running theme here.

Makena that is crazy about being called Dr. by everyone in your town.

Chef Tony surley does portray himself as a trained Chef. At least Mark doesn't feel the need to be called a Chef to sell gadgets.

The shopping channels seem to really emphasize the title of "chef" the last couple of years. Some that are introduced with that title are not really chefs. However, the title makes no difference to me in whether or not I purchase. If I need and like an item I will purchase as long as the qualities of the item were well-presented.

re: Marc Charles --David mentioned they are going to the trade show in Vegas soon. I think that is one of the sources for the items Marc Charles brings to QVC. I really don't think he invents all these items. I think he is the rep for Kuhn Richon, etc. He may suggest items to them since he knows what sells on QVC. "Chef" Tony also seems to be the rep for many lines.

It’s a shopping channel not a cooking show.

Furthermore I’m a trained chef with a degree from Johnson and Wales and I work as an accountant.

I have no idea about Chef Tony's back ground but I like him as a vendor.

He is always very nice and polite to everyone!

I have no problem with his personality but take offense that the hosts keep referring to him as "Chef" when he is nothing more than a vendor who dons a white chefs jacket in order to ramp up sales. He is on again and David is incessantly referring to him as "chef".

@Reever Wow, you have a bee in your pants tonight. Take a chill pill. Chef Tony is a gentleman with a gentle personality. He doesn't yell, push or talk down at anyone. If you don't like him, you know the drill. He is a vendor and a nice one at that.
