LOL Wolfgang is the worse then Emeril touching his nose too. Yes we aren't eating their food & have brought some of their products. Wonder what happens in the kitchens of a restaurant that we don't see. Every week our local news has restaurants that fail expectations & the ones that win. Some that fail I love them. Also before entering a restaurant they have in the window A which is best so you know before going in.

I really don't get what the OP is upset about. Whats the difference if the lid was set on the floor or set on a table? The edge of the lid isn't going to touch the food being cooked, right? I'm just not that cerebral about creating things to bother myself about. No biggy.

Started working at age 12 at Drive-in restaurants, including in the kitchen. Worked at 3 different ones over several years, AND?  What goes on from the cooking of food to the delivery of food to the customer may surprise, even shock some people. Me, not so much, I've seen most of it.

I don't know if every state requires this, but in my state, if you prepare food for the public, you must take a course given by the state on safe food prep. In our state it costs like 135 dollars. My niece is a caterer and she had to take it and then teach her workers what she learned. I think many people have no idea what is sanitary when it comes to food prep.

I watched Sandra Lee use raw chicken tongs to take cooked chicken out of the pan, double dipping on Chopped, flying hair on Cupcake Wars.

These shows use "demo" food .....  tossed in the garbage after the filming is complete.   No one really eats that stuff!

       Actually, I have often seen several of the cooks/

chefs/hosts/guests on TV  food shows eat the food they just prepared!  Some are the Pioneer woman, Giada, the Kitchen hosts, Valerie...really quite a few!!   I guess they know which dishes are okay to eat...

       My father was in advertising. I was able to attend several ad sets for food scenes. And I was fascinated to learn that most 'food' used in TV and magazine ads was not real, but other creative, 'look like' materials and items!!
