Chef Tony should cut his nails.  It takes away from the presentation.  If you're presenting food or items related with food, nails should be clean and trimmed.  The first thing I learned in Home Economics is to have clean hands and nails.  I realize it has nothing to do with the sale of the item, but it's just looks icky.

I so agree....I was shocked at the length of his nails.  I would imagine it would be hard for a chef to cook with such long nails!

Seriously?  It would never occur to me to even think about this!  I didn't see the show so I went back and watched an item video.  No, his nails do not need to be cut.  They are not too long to interfere with any food presentations.  This was not the first thing that I learned in Home Economics, but I have learned that the older women get the more critical and fussy they get. I see this daily on these forums.  (And I do have and B.S. Ed. in Home Economics and taught it for many years.)   One of my favorite books is Don't Sweat the Small Stuff and It's all Small Stuff.  It a great read...

I know one thing, if I ever saw a chef with nails like that, I certainly would not be eating any meal he prepared.

Seriously?  Yes, I am serious.  And you're referring to who beind old, critical and fussy?  Expecting someone who is preparing and touching food to have clean nails has nothing to do with one's age.

 

If you find my topic "small stuff," don't sweat it.

Long nails on men disgust me and I'm not old and fussy. I have not liked long nails on men ever. So it has nothing to do with age.

The video with the product online is with Carolyn Gracie...is that who Tony presented with last night? Because that video shows very neat, clean nails.  They are not super long but not super nubbed either. I have zero problem with nails in that video. Where they long and dirtier last night'so show?

Now Tony's nails are "not clean".  Yikes!  I am referring to you being fussy. Obviously.
