Question

Why did Rachel Ray choose not to wear a chef's jacket during her appearance on Iron Chef?

Answer 1

She didn't say why, but it just didn't make sense to wear a chef's jacket for the show, when she doesn't usually wear one when she cooks on her t.v. show. I think she thought she would look like she was trying to be something that she wasn't. I personally liked that she kept it real, that's why she is so loved by many people.

Answer 2

She was probably uncomfortable in them and as a cook I rarely work in anything that makes me uncomfortable in the kitchen. Granted, I'm not a professional but I've cooked for my own family for over thirty years. I understand why a jacket would be more sanitary in a professional kitchen, but I can't fault her for wanting to be comfortable in unfamiliar surroundings.

Answer 3

I don't think she did it to be unprofessional or to be "humble." Just like the other person said, she is a casual chef. She did not receive a culinary degree from a great school like Giada did. . I noticed it too, and I was thinking maybe it was because Bobby Flay was the Iron Chef, so Giada was allowed to wear a jacket because she was on his side. But I have no idea if that's it. . . Funny how the pretentious and unprofessional woman won :)

Answer 4

if you already formed an opinion ,why ask?..and they won together...so what difference does a jacket make?

Answer 5

chef jackets may look nice but they are hot as hell to work in, in a Hot Kitchen! maybe she wanted to be comfortable!

Answer 6

because it's totally just a gimmic show and she's known as a casual cook, not totally pro. who cares? Don't you think it's more pretentious to wear the snobby jacket than just be her trademark casual self? Duh.. . And how is wearing skimpy underwear saying anything pretentious about her cooking??? Do you know the definition of pretentious? You can't spell it correctly. You sound very jealous and are getting pretty catty over someone you don't even know. Don't like her, don't watch her. Move on..

Answer 7

Because a chef's coat would make that cow look even bigger than she already does...

Answer 8

Because she is a clueless, spastic jack-*ss. All madness no method. Run from her.......run fast, run far.

Answer 9

She is not technically a chef, just a regular person that likes food, i don't think she has even been to culinary school. Also she doesn't do just food on TV she now has her own show one one of the bigger channels

Answer 10

She doesn't wear a chefs coat because I believe she is not a professional chef, she refers to herself as a cook. I enjoy her food network show.
