TIME OFF FORUM → How can you tell if you're talking to a fellow chef?

8 months Sunshine Est... 35 posts	Just having a time-out from all the culinary stuff (but still talking culinary!). I want to know, do chefs have a distinct characteristics? Do you know if you’re talking to a chef (when they are not in uniform)? I think I do. I went to a friend’s luncheon one time. I was just breaking the ice with one of the lady guests there, saying that the weather is perfect and it’s nice if we had a barbecue/grilling station (unfortunately, it’s kind of a semi-formal occasion). Then she continued on, saying… “It’s actually the perfect timing to do a grilled chicken with…” Followed by tons of herbs and ingredients. If she weren’t a chef, she might have just said something like… “Yeah, I think so too.” How about you? Any distinction between chefs and others?
