How do you handle dealing with your personal chef? I am really at a loss. I'm at my parents during the holiday and its just a nightmare. I mean this guy is classically trained in French or something. Well I ask for a sandwich and I get this thing with sauces and mint sprigs on it. My son gets a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the shape of a pirate ship with sails and radish carved cannons and grape.. grape shot. Great, I got a tooth pick chocking hazard on my hand wile I'm trying to scrape this orange gel off my ham if its even ham.
I try to go make my own stuff, but porky mcchef is all shushing me out of the kitchen and is all up in my face how its not my job to make food, I mean its just so frustrating. How do you handle the help? There is only one guy at night that doesn't seem to care much and just will give me some of the kids cheerios at least with out some side of toast and grapefruit menagerie.

So I just give up and going to eat this old cheese looking thing, ugh so frustrating.

    you're only option is to become poor, lose the chef and eat out of the trash can.
    i'm sure you'd lots of weight like that

    Let them eat cake!

    (Which would be a problem in my case. I would eat the cake. And the cookies the chef was making for the next night. And probably guzzle of all of the delicious hollandaise sauces brewing for breakfast, too.)

    I actually watched a show on TLC the other day about people that are stingy with money. There was a lady who ate out of other peoples trash to save money.

    She was a millionaire.

    so pick the toothpicks out, eat your food and shudup. Either this is a bizzare joke or you are totally spoiled rotten. Either way I personaly would love to have a chef doing for me. Granted he would get to-the-letter dietary instuctions from me that he either follow or get fired.

    This is actually an entire way of living. They frequent the expensive grocery stores and pick out the packaged items they get rid of a the end of the day. What is so idiotic is the stores have started locking the trash bins so people cant take what they threw away....talk about wasteful 1%er worldviews....

    I make him do a burpee for every calorie he serves me over my goal. It's in his contract. I don't let the help bully me!

    That's disgraceful! The help is supposed to obey orders. Maybe you weren't specific enough.

    The fault falls upon government regulations preventing expired food from being donated to the hungry, and fear of our litigious society and their frivolous lawsuits. "The food in your dumpster made me sick!".

    Nothing like a personal chef who doesn't know his place. I'd fire him. But perhaps beat him with his own spoon first. Then fire him.

    If you can't control your environment then you have more pressing issues than Pepe LeFood cooking for you.

    Oh wait... a personal chef? STFU and eat some grilled chicken and brown rice.... troll.

    Why are you on MFP? Where is your personal nutritionist during this disaster? What about your Personal Trainer, did you forget him at home or won't your parents share theirs? So many options you have to chose from.....I'm sure if you put your mind to it, you could borrow someone else's chef or get one of your parents' friends chefs to make you something you could actually eat. SHEESH, the nerve of this chef, not to create a menu of your liking! Some people's Personal chefs...the nerve!

    I agree with the folks who have replied that this is either a joke or gee, I'm at a loss for words too. If it's a joke, it's not funny. There are those of us on this site who are serious about making a difference in our health and you are taking up space.

    Try explaining your food and calorie requirements to this chef. Or go back home.

    I learned French, I can swear as well as my chef. Then after 20 years of living in Paris region I can tell him where he can put his hollandaise. If I want to piss him off I ask for ketchup and tell him to broil the tartare and take the heads of the fish.

    He knows his place. And the fois gras is delicious.

    Throw down the gauntlet and tell him you want a rissoto appetizer, a perfect Beef Wellington main course and a decadent Chocolate Souffle for dessert for dinner tomorrow evening....he will be so busy you can eat what ever you want for lunch then!

    Yes! Before you know it, the site will have to start using CD's instead of floppies to store all of this garbage! :angry:
