What bugs me about some Food Network shows

Ok so I watch a lot of Food Network. (because I always tell myself that I'll make the things that they make, yeah that never happens lol) But anyways, I was watching and I'm sitting here thinking what happens to that leftover food. For example if the chef on the tv show uses an onion they usually use like half an onion, where does the rest go? Because if you think about it they use an new onion EVERYTIME. I seriously hope they like take the unused ingredients home with them or give them to someone or something!

Number two, they ALWAYS stress don't cross contaminate but everyone does! You know the salt bowls? Yea they season their fish, chicken, pork blah blah blah whatever but usually they take the salt and season one side then TOUCH the meat and then stick their hand BACK in the salt! Um that's contaminating your whole salt dish! (and pepper sometimes!) Yes it cooks out but there are things that you season that you don't cook! The only thing I can think of right this very second is vinaigrette for salads. But I know there are other things!

And number 3, they're making these dishes on their shows for "show" but usually the staff eats them. And they sometimes stick a spoon they're mixing with in their mouth and then stick it back in the bowl! (this is usually Anne Burell) and she says all cooks do it all the time! She works in a restaurant. I mean I'm kind of afraid to go to a fancy restaurant and eat if everyone is tasting my food before I do! Yuck!

Ok I sound OCD but ahh I can't get over it lol and some of you will say "then don't watch" but I do like to watch and will continue there was just a few things I found weird!

Thanks for reading my rant! Have a nice day! And sorry it's been so long! We adopted this little cutie! And she's been quite the handful!
