Just curious about David Venable and his seasoning habit. He frequently jumps in and adds seasoning, salt or other toppings to whatever dish the Vendor has just cooked. When I saw him today with Jeremy Parker, he added guacamole to the burger Jeremy had just cooked and Jeremy seemed a bit put out, he even commented that he would probably have put cheese on it. Not sure if it's out of habit or something else.

@Hopein24 you should ask David himself on his facebook page. How would anyone here know why he does something? Anything else would be speculation.

@Hopein24 - David has always done little things like that, but he has become even more "hands on" over the past year or two. It is often awkward to watch him interrupt vendors and presentations because he apparently feels the need to touch everything or take over an activity rather than allowing the vendor to finish what they are working on. Most of the vendors seem to be used to this and roll with it, and I didn't notice anything too odd in the interaction between David and Jeremy.

 

In addition, if you watch when David is presenting all the colors or variations of an item, you'll see that he no longer just points at them or lets the camera move over them; he touches or taps each one or even picks up a few of them (sometimes messing up displays or knocking things over). I think it's just a little tic that is intensifying over time. I've noticed similar things with relatives and friends as they get older, so I'm guessing this behavior may be here to stay.

COMPLETELY have seen this going on for awhile and drives me crazy. Reminds me of a kid that has to get his way all the time .

Seems like some vendors are almost looking into the camera and thinking here he goes again with the finishing touch.

Also I think  his dieting has become such an obsession with him,glad he was able to lose the weight for health reasons . But maybe they should move on and allow someone who could take a good size bite of a product,his nibble or little sip drive me crazy.Not a good sign just my opinion.
